[PATCH v6 10/18] x86/power/64: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jul 24 2018 - 12:51:37 EST


In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK by switching to
shash directly and allocating the descriptor in heap memory (which should
be fine: the tfm has already been allocated there too).
