[PATCH] af_alg: disable kernel hash functions by default

2018-06-24 Thread Pádraig Brady
All the kernel routines were seen to be significantly slower with these relatively recent components on an i3-2310M system: kernel-4.10.6-200.fc25.x86_64 openssl-1.0.2m-1.fc25.x86_64 sha1 was nearly twice as slow in the kernel for example. * m4/af_alg.m4: Require --with-linux-crypto to enable.
