Review Summary

`crypto/fipsmodule/aes/asm/ghashv8-armx.pl` is a Perl perlasm generator that emits ARMv8 GHASH assembly and pipes the output through a local `arm-xlate.pl` helper. I checked for install-time hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential/secret access, dynamic remote code loading, obfuscation, and persistence, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file. Reviewed `crypto/fipsmodule/bn/asm/x86-mont.pl`, a Perl perlasm generator that emits x86/SSE2 Montgomery multiplication assembly to stdout and writes the generated output file. I checked for install-time hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential/secret access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, and persistence/tampering, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators. This file is a pure preprocessor symbol-remapping header for ring’s assembly/exported symbols, with separate Apple and non-Apple name prefixes. I checked it for install-time hooks, network or exfiltration behavior, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, and persistence tampering, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators.
