Okay, in that case, I've modified the patch to below:

Subject: [PATCH] sha: Enable cpuid check for Intel SHA extensions implementations To: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>, H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>, Chandramouli Narayanan <mouli@linux.intel.com>, x86@kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
The Intel Secure Hash Algorithm Extensions are designed to improve the performance of SHA-1 and SHA-256. This patch adds the check for X86_FEATURE_SHA_NI bit.
This will allow the feature to be shown as sha_ni in the /proc/cpuinfo.
The SHA extension programming guide is found in chapter 8 of the Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming reference: https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/07/b7/319433-023.pdf
