[PATCH v2 11/12] crypto: arm/nhpoly1305 - eliminate unnecessary CFI wrapper

Eric Biggers ebiggers at kernel.org
Fri Nov 18 11:44:20 PST 2022


From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

The arm architecture doesn't support CFI yet, and even if it did, the
new CFI implementation supports indirect calls to assembly functions.
Therefore, there's no need to use a wrapper function for nh_neon().
