Those functions are called but don't seem to be defined anywhere.

They are meant to be generated by the perl scripts in that directory.
Can you take a look at why those perl scripts didn't run or didn't
function correctly?


It looks like the perl scripts do run - I see the .S files, and I do see .o files created.
But I still get the error.

Looking into the object files, I see

$ nm vmx-crypto.o | grep aes_p8_cbc_encrypt
0000000000000680 t .aes_p8_cbc_encrypt
U .aes_p8_cbc_encrypt
00000000000000a8 D aes_p8_cbc_encrypt

$ nm aesp8-ppc.o | grep aes_p8_cbc_encrypt
0000000000000680 t .aes_p8_cbc_encrypt
0000000000000060 D aes_p8_cbc_encrypt

In the assembler source, I see

.globl aes_p8_cbc_encrypt

but no .globl for .aes_p8_cbc_encrypt.

Does that tell you anything ?

I also notice is that the .S files are not removed with "make mrproper"
but left behind. Seems to me that those files should be removed.
