This patch adds support for the Chacha20-Poly1305 cipher suite. It adds both the basic rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305) as well as the rfc7539esp(chacha20,poly1305) variant for IPsec ESP acceleration. changes since v1: - rebased on top of DES library changes done on cryptodev/master - fixed crypto/Kconfig so that generic fallback is compiled as well changes since v2: - nothing changes since v3: - Fixed a problem where the tcrypt performance test would run fully on the fallback cipher instead of the HW due to using an AAD length of 8 for rfc7539esp. While this is not actually legal ESP (which includes SPI and sequence number in the AAD as well), it is both inconvenient and not necessary to run these vectors on the fallback cipher. - Due to above, also realised that for plain (non-ESP) rfc7539, you probably want to be able to run vectors with less than 8 bytes of AAD on the HW, and this is actually possible as long as cryptlen is large enough, so made that possible 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 Restructured Text 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.
