Merge branch 'linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6
Pull crypto updates from Herbert Xu:
"Here is the crypto update for 4.8:
API:
- first part of skcipher low-level conversions
- add KPP (Key-agreement Protocol Primitives) interface.
Algorithms:
- fix IPsec/cryptd reordering issues that affects aesni
- RSA no longer does explicit leading zero removal
- add SHA3
- add DH
- add ECDH
- improve DRBG performance by not doing CTR by hand
Drivers:
- add x86 AVX2 multibuffer SHA256/512
- add POWER8 optimised crc32c
- add xts support to vmx
- add DH support to qat
- add RSA support to caam
- add Layerscape support to caam
- add SEC1 AEAD support to talitos
- improve performance by chaining requests in marvell/cesa
- add support for Araneus Alea I USB RNG
- add support for Broadcom BCM5301 RNG
- add support for Amlogic Meson RNG
- add support Broadcom NSP SoC RNG"
