This was a mistake when porting from Cryptogams to Crypto++. The macros VFP_ABI_PUSH and VFP_ABI_POP needed to be defined because they save and restore SIMD register state. They were originally missing during the port. The benchmarks would hang because the doubles we used for benchmarking were blown away in sha512_block_data_order_neon.
Andy advised against removing the global caps variable. This commit reintroduces CRYPTOGAMS_armcap_P. However, due to the shared object symbol loading problem, we needed to use CRYPTOGAMS_armcap_P as a global, and not CRYPTOGAMS_armcap as a local. Using CRYPTOGAMS_armcap_P directly caused the symbol to be marked as R_ARM_ABS32 which avoids the problem with R_ARM_REL32.
Cryptogams is Andy Polyakov's project used to create high speed crypto algorithms and share them with other developers. Cryptogams has a dual license. First is the OpenSSL license because Andy contributes to OpenSSL. Second is a BSD license for those who want a more permissive license.
Andy's implementation runs about 45% faster than C/C++ code. Testing on a 1.8 GHz Cortex-A17 shows Cryptograms at 45 cpb, and C++ at 79 cpb.
The integration instructions are documented at [Cryptogams SHA](https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Cryptogams_SHA) on the OpenSSL wiki.
