This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists,
change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-
xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  restore reverted commit "crypto: arm64/sha - avoid non-standard inline
  asm tricks"

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  To address bug 1905336, we reverted an upstream commit. Upstream have now 
pulled in a commit to properly fix the underlying issue. Once we merge that 
fix, we should be able to reapply the reverted commit.

  [Test Case]
  If the kernel boots and we can still load the sha{1,2}_ce modules, we should 
be good.

  [Fix]
  After this is applied:
    https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg431217.html
  We should reapply the commit we reverted here:
    
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git/commit/?id=4baa2fdd354700e2304e10cdbc64402621c3fa29

  
  [Where Problems May Occur]
  Although we shipped the reverted patch for many releases - the whole time we 
did so, the impacted modules were not loadable. Once we reapply it, xenial 
users will be running that code for the first time. If there are issues with 
the code, users of the sha{1,2}_ce modules may now hit them. Issues could 
include kernel oopses, corruption, etc.
