[PATCH 1/1] crypto: arm64/aes-neonbs - Move key expansion off the stack
From: Cheng-Yang Chou
Date: Thu Mar 05 2026 - 13:34:08 EST
aesbs_setkey() and aesbs_cbc_ctr_setkey() trigger -Wframe-larger-than=
warnings due to struct crypto_aes_ctx being allocated on the stack,
causing the frame size to exceed 1024 bytes.
Allocate struct crypto_aes_ctx on the heap instead to reduce stack
usage. Use a goto-based cleanup path to ensure memzero_explicit() and
kfree() are always called.
