[Bug 1558079] [NEW] cryptsetup tcryptOpen doesn't work anymore

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I'm using cryptsetup to open TrueCrypt encrypted NTFS filesystems:
cryptsetup tcryptOpen /dev/sdf2 tcrypt

At least until linux-image-3.13.0-79-generic this work fine. 
Booting linux-image-3.13.0-83-generic and running cryptsetup results in:

Required kernel crypto interface not available.
Ensure you have algif_skcipher kernel module loaded.

The module algif_skcipher is loaded, so the tenor of the error message
is wrong, but cryptsetup cannot open the container, so at least there
_is_ some error. Probably it's related to some unsupported instruction
set. With  linux-image-3.13.0-83 there are errors in dmesg which are not
present with linux-image-3.13.0-79:

AVX instructions are not detected
