[PATCH 05/11] crypto alg: Introduce max blocksize and alignmask

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Jun 20 2018 - 15:06:41 EST


In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
exposes the existing upper bound on crypto block sizes for VLA removal,
and introduces a new check for alignmask (current maximum in the kernel
is 63 from manual inspection of all cra_alignmask settings).
