[PATCH 16/20] lib/crypto: riscv/aes: Pass key struct to assembly code

Eric Biggers ebiggers at kernel.org
Sun Sep 20 22:09:02 PDT 2026


Make the assembly code take the AES key struct directly, rather than the
round keys pointer and key length separately.  Make the aes_begin macro
assume this convention, and remove support for the legacy
'struct crypto_aes_ctx' from it since that isn't used here.

This aligns with the convention that is being used (and will continue to
be used) for the AES modes, it makes the C glue code slightly simpler,
and it avoids the unnecessary shuffling around of arguments.
