When UML is compiled under 32-bit x86, it uses its own copy of
checksum_32.S, which is terribly out-of-date and doesn't support
checksumming unaligned data.
This causes the new "checksum" KUnit test to fail:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kconfig_add CONFIG_64BIT=n --cross_compile i686-linux-gnu- checksum
KTAP version 1
# Subtest: checksum

Expected result == expec, but
result == 33316 (0x8224)

Expected result == expec, but

expec == 0 (0x0)

Sharing the normal implementation in arch/x86/lib both fixes all of
these issues and means any further fixes only need to be done once.
x86_64 already seems to share the same implementation between UML and
"normal" x86.

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.
