Bug#734376: linux: Please enable accelerated variants of crypto modules

[Chris Boot <debian@bootc.net>]

Source: linux
Version: 3.12.6-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider enabling more of the accelerated variants of the crypto
modules available in the kernel. For example, the current kernel config
contains:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF=m
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF_PCLMUL is not set

CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1_SSSE3=m
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256_SSSE3 is not set
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512_SSSE3 is not set
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512=m

CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAMELLIA=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_X86_64=m
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_AESNI_AVX_X86_64 is not set
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_AESNI_AVX2_X86_64 is not set

CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAST5=m
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAST5_AVX_X86_64 is not set
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAST6=m
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAST6_AVX_X86_64 is not set

CONFIG_CRYPTO_SERPENT=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SERPENT_SSE2_X86_64=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SERPENT_AVX_X86_64=m
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_SERPENT_AVX2_X86_64 is not set

For x86_64/amd64 at least, it would be nice to enable all of the options
marked as 'not set' above.

Thanks,
Chris
