[PATCH v4 12/14] crypto: ahash: Remove VLA usage for AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Jul 11 2018 - 16:36:36 EST


In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this caps
the ahash request size similar to the other limits and adds a sanity
check at registration. Unfortunately, these reqsizes can be very large.
Looking at instrumented tcrypt output, the largest is for sha512:

crypt: testing sha512
crypto_ahash_set_reqsize: 528
crypto_ahash_set_reqsize: 728
crypto_ahash_set_reqsize: 808
