A regression was reported bisecting to1476db2d12"Move HashKey computation from stack to gcm_context". That diff moved HashKey computation from the stack, which was explicitly aligned in the asm, to a struct provided from the C code, depending on AESNI_ALIGN_ATTR for alignment. It appears some compilers may not align this struct correctly, resulting in a crash on the movdqa instruction when attempting to encrypt or decrypt data. Fix by using unaligned loads for the HashKeys. On modern hardware there is no perf difference between the unaligned and aligned loads. All other accesses to gcm_context_data already use unaligned loads.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
