In the C code, the 'inc' argument to the assembly functions
blake2s_compress_ssse3() and blake2s_compress_avx512() is declared with
type u32, matching blake2s_compress(). The assembly code then reads it
from the 64-bit %rcx. However, the ABI doesn't guarantee zero-extension
to 64 bits, nor do gcc or clang guarantee it. Therefore, fix these
functions to read this argument from the 32-bit %ecx.
In theory, this bug could have caused the wrong 'inc' value to be used,
causing incorrect BLAKE2s hashes. In practice, probably not: I've fixed
essentially this same bug in many other assembly files too, but there's
never been a real report of it having caused a problem. In x86_64, all
writes to 32-bit registers are zero-extended to 64 bits. That results
in zero-extension in nearly all situations. I've only been able to
demonstrate a lack of zero-extension with a somewhat contrived example
involving truncation, e.g. when the C code has a u64 variable holding
0x1234567800000040 and passes it as a u32 expecting it to be truncated
to 0x40 (64). But that's not what the real code does, of course.

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 reStructuredText 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.
