In particular, consistently pair bsaes with aes_nohw. Ideally the aes_nohw_* calls in bsaes-*.pl would be patched out and bsaes grows its own constant-time key setup (https://crbug.com/boringssl/256), but I'll sort that out separately. In the meantime, avoid going through AES_* which now dispatch. This avoids several nuisances: 1. If we were to add, say, a vpaes-armv7.pl the ABI tests would break. Fundamentally, we cannot assume that an AES_KEY has one and only one representation and must keep everything matching up. 2. AES_* functions should enable vpaes. This makes AES_* faster and constant-time for vector-capable CPUs (https://crbug.com/boringssl/263), relevant for QUIC packet number encryption, allowing us to add vpaes-armv8.pl (https://crbug.com/boringssl/246) without carrying a (likely) mostly unused AES implementation. 3. It's silly to double-dispatch when the EVP layer has already dispatched. 4. We should avoid asm calling into C. Otherwise, we need to test asm for ABI compliance as both caller and callee. Currently we only test it for callee compliance. When asm calls into asm, it *should* comply with the ABI as caller too, but mistakes don't matter as long as the called function triggers it. If the function is asm, this is fixed. If it is C, we must care about arbitrary C compiler output.

BoringSSL
BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
