Basic or not.

Heh, FYI I didn't mean "basic" here as in "doesn't need a review", but
just that it's a straightforward technique and doesn't do any
complicated multiblock pyrotechnics (which frankly aren't really
needed).

This needs a Reviewed-by from someone who understands SSE2
and ChaCha20 before this can go anywhere near the x86 tree.

No problem. I'll see to it that somebody qualified gives this a review.

I did look at this earlier. It looks fine. I would recommend changing

+ /* copy1,copy2 = key */
+ movdqu 0x00(key),copy1
+ movdqu 0x10(key),copy2

to

+ /* copy1,copy2 = key */
+ movups 0x00(key),copy1
+ movups 0x10(key),copy2

which has the same semantics, but saves a couple of code bytes. Likewise for

+ movdqu state0,0x00(output)
+ movdqu state1,0x10(output)
+ movdqu state2,0x20(output)
+ movdqu state3,0x30(output)

Otherwise,

Reviewed-by: Samuel Neves <redacted> # for vgetrandom-chacha.S

Thanks for the review and for the suggestion. Will do.
