When the ARM accelerated ChaCha driver is built as part of a configuration
that has kernel mode NEON disabled, we expect the compiler to propagate
the build time constant expression IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON) in
a way that eliminates all the cross-object references to the actual NEON
routines, which allows the chacha-neon-core.o object to be omitted from
the build entirely.
Unfortunately, this fails to work as expected in some cases, and we may
end up with a build error such as
chacha-glue.c:(.text+0xc0): undefined reference to `chacha_4block_xor_neon'
caused by the fact that chacha_doneon() has not been eliminated from the
object code, even though it will never be called in practice.
Let's fix this by adding some IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON) tests
that are not strictly needed from a logical point of view, but should
help the compiler infer that the NEON code paths are unreachable in
those cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
