[PATCH] lib/crypto: sha1: Explicitly specify alignment of sha1_ctx::buf

From: Eric Biggers

Date: Fri Mar 20 2026 - 19:14:44 EST


__sha1_final() writes a __be64 to &ctx->buf[56] using a plain write.
That assumes that the alignment of buf is at least that of __be64. It
is, since it immediately follows a u64 field. However, to make this
assumption explicit it's best to specify the field alignment explicitly
too, like what is done in the corresponding SHA-2 and MD5 structs.
