[PATCH 4.4 46/57] crypto: sha1-ssse3 - Disable avx2

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2017-07-19 11:27:25
Also in: lkml

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

commit b82ce24426a4071da9529d726057e4e642948667 upstream.

It has been reported that sha1-avx2 can cause page faults by reading
beyond the end of the input.  This patch disables it until it can be
fixed.

Fixes: 7c1da8d0d046 ("crypto: sha - SHA1 transform x86_64 AVX2")
