The missing patch is available on the linux kernel crypto mailing list.
Search for "add selftests for paes-s390".
However, it is as of now not picked by Herbert Xu and I am not sure if
he will pick it for the current open 5.6 kernel merge window. I don't
have any response from him.
The paes selftests should be available when the kernel runs in FIPS mode as FIPS requires to have each cipher selftested before use. For normal use there is no need to have the selftests (and it is an optional kernel feature then).
I'd say we leave this for now. The paes selftest infrastructure is available
with the patches, just the invocation by the testmanager is still missing
- exact the same as the current upstream kernel. If the testmanager patch
is picked, I'll update this bug - if not we will pick the patch for the next Ubuntu kernel update.
