A sig_alg backend has just been introduced and all asymmetric
sign/verify algorithms have been migrated to it.
The sign/verify operations can thus be dropped from akcipher_alg.
It is now purely for asymmetric encrypt/decrypt.
Move struct crypto_akcipher_sync_data from internal.h to akcipher.c and
unexport crypto_akcipher_sync_{prep,post}(): They're no longer used by
sig.c but only locally in akcipher.c.
In crypto_akcipher_sync_{prep,post}(), drop various NULL pointer checks
for data->dst as they were only necessary for the verify operation.
In the crypto_sig_*() API calls, remove the forks that were necessary
while algorithms were converted from crypto_akcipher to crypto_sig
one by one.
In struct akcipher_testvec, remove the "params", "param_len" and "algo"
elements as they were only needed for the ecrdsa verify operation.
Remove corresponding dead code from test_akcipher_one() as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
