The chacha vDSO selftest doesn't check the way the counter is handled by __arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack(). It indirectly checks that the counter is writen on exit and read back on new entry, but it doesn't check that the format is correct. When implementing this function on powerpc, I missed a case where the counter was writen and read in wrong byte order. Also, the counter uses two words, but the tests with a zero counter and uses a small amount of blocks, so at the end the upper part of the counter is always 0, so it is not checked. Add a verification of counter's content in addition to the verification of the output. Also add two tests where the counter crosses the u32 upper limit. The first test verifies that the function properly writes back the upper word, the second test verifies that the function properly reads back the upper word.

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.
