Mitchell Horne 22bd0c9731 ossl: port to arm64
Enable in-kernel acceleration of SHA1 and SHA2 operations on arm64 by adding
support for the ossl(4) crypto driver. This uses OpenSSL's assembly routines
under the hood, which will detect and use SHA intrinsics if they are
supported by the CPU.

.Sh NAME
.Nm ossl
.Nd "driver using OpenSSL assembly routines"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device crypto"
.Cd "device cryptodev"
.Cd "device ossl"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
ossl_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The OpenSSL distribution includes architecture-specific
implementations for some commonly used cryptographic algorithms.
This driver adds a wrapper around these routines permitting them to be
used by in-kernel cryptography consumers such as kernel TLS and IPsec.
