Review Summary

Reviewed `crypto/fipsmodule/aes/asm/ghash-x86.pl`, a Perl/perlasm generator that emits x86 GHASH assembly for OpenSSL-derived crypto code. I checked the file for install-time hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential access, hidden downloads, dynamic code loading beyond the expected local perlasm includes, obfuscation, and persistence, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators. Reviewed `crypto/fipsmodule/ec/p256-nistz.c`, which implements P-256 scalar multiplication and CPU-dispatch helpers for constant-time elliptic-curve arithmetic. I checked for install hooks, network or exfiltration paths, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation/deobfuscation, persistence, and hidden subprocess execution; none were present in this file.
