Attachment 214420: v3 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=214420&action=edit --- Comment #3 from Piotr Kubaj <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 214420 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=214420&action=edit v3 More correct solution. The previous patch worked, but sha512-p8 wasn't included in the final binary because USE_PPC_CRYPTO is disabled. sha512-p8 was just built, but not used earlier. This is why all tests passed. The problem with it is that the assembly is tailored to little-endian and won't work on big-endian. However, there is a proper script to generate sha512-p8 for big-endian, both elfv1 and elfv2. There is also a variant for 32-bit powerpc. Ideally, this script should run always, but upstream seems to have forgotten that and just put the generated sha512-p8 to the source. This patch takes care of running this script. Also, since USE_PPC_CRYPTO works on big-endian, put an option to enable that. It will use VSX, which is available on POWER8 and newer. I made it available on 32 bits as well, just in case someone on VSX-capable machine wants to run 32-bit chroot or jail. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gecko To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
