Building the kernel with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO_SPECK_NEON set fails with the following errors: arch/arm/crypto/speck-neon-core.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm/crypto/speck-neon-core.S:419: Error: r13 not allowed here -- `bic sp,#0xf' arch/arm/crypto/speck-neon-core.S:423: Error: r13 not allowed here -- `bic sp,#0xf' arch/arm/crypto/speck-neon-core.S:427: Error: r13 not allowed here -- `bic sp,#0xf' arch/arm/crypto/speck-neon-core.S:431: Error: r13 not allowed here -- `bic sp,#0xf' The problem is that the 'bic' instruction can't operate on the 'sp' register in Thumb2 mode. Fix it by using a temporary register. This isn't in the main loop, so the performance difference is negligible. This also matches what aes-neonbs-core.S does.
