    crypto: lib/sha1 - fold linux/cryptohash.h into crypto/sha.h · 228c4f26

    <linux/cryptohash.h> sounds very generic and important, like it's the
    header to include if you're doing cryptographic hashing in the kernel.
    But actually it only includes the library implementation of the SHA-1
    compression function (not even the full SHA-1).  This should basically
    never be used anymore; SHA-1 is no longer considered secure, and there
    are much better ways to do cryptographic hashing in the kernel.
    
    Remove this header and fold it into <crypto/sha.h> which already
    contains constants and functions for SHA-1 (along with SHA-2).
