Pull arm64 FPSIMD on-stack buffer updates from Eric Biggers:
 "This is a core arm64 change. However, I was asked to take this because
  most uses of kernel-mode FPSIMD are in crypto or CRC code.

  In v6.8, the size of task_struct on arm64 increased by 528 bytes due
  to the new 'kernel_fpsimd_state' field. This field was added to allow
  kernel-mode FPSIMD code to be preempted.

  Unfortunately, 528 bytes is kind of a lot for task_struct. This
  regression in the task_struct size was noticed and reported.

  Recover that space by making this state be allocated on the stack at
  the beginning of each kernel-mode FPSIMD section.

  To make it easier for all the users of kernel-mode FPSIMD to do that
  correctly, introduce and use a 'scoped_ksimd' abstraction"

Pull 'at_least' array size update from Eric Biggers:
 "C supports lower bounds on the sizes of array parameters, using the
  static keyword as follows: 'void f(int a[static 32]);'. This allows
  the compiler to warn about a too-small array being passed.

  As discussed, this reuse of the 'static' keyword, while standard, is a
  bit obscure. Therefore, add an alias 'at_least' to compiler_types.h.

  Then, add this 'at_least' annotation to the array parameters of
  various crypto library functions"

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
 "This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:

   - Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
     hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
     existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.

     This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
     signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
     functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.

     This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
     architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.

   - Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
     BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.

     This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b
     checksums. With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have
     library APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library
     directly.

     This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code
     and BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
     architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.

   - Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
     support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.

     This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
     it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by
     default. The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved
     as well.

   - Clean up the BLAKE2s code

   - Add FIPS self-tests for SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3"

Several parameters of the chacha20poly1305 functions require arrays of
an exact length. Use the new at_least keyword to instruct gcc and
clang to statically check that the caller is passing an object of at
least that length.

Here it is in action, with this faulty patch to wireguard's cookie.h:

     struct cookie_checker {
     	u8 secret[NOISE_HASH_LEN];
    -	u8 cookie_encryption_key[NOISE_SYMMETRIC_KEY_LEN];
    +	u8 cookie_encryption_key[NOISE_SYMMETRIC_KEY_LEN - 1];
     	u8 message_mac1_key[NOISE_SYMMETRIC_KEY_LEN];

If I try compiling this code, I get this helpful warning:

Fully initialize *ctx, including the buf field which sha256_init()
doesn't initialize, to avoid a KMSAN warning when comparing *ctx to
orig_ctx.  This KMSAN warning slipped in while KMSAN was not working
reliably due to a stackdepot bug, which has now been fixed.

Move the arm64 implementations of SHA-3 and POLYVAL to the newly
introduced scoped ksimd API, which replaces kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end(). On arm64, this is needed because the latter API
will change in an incompatible manner.

<content type='text'>
Before modifying the prototypes of kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() to accommodate kernel mode FP/SIMD state buffers
allocated on the stack, move arm64 to the new 'ksimd' scoped guard API,
which encapsulates the calls to those functions.

For symmetry, do the same for 32-bit ARM too.
