[PATCH 01/11] crypto: shash: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Jun 20 2018 - 15:07:49 EST


In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the VLAs in SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK (via crypto_shash_descsize())
by using the maximum allowable size (which is now more clearly captured
in a macro). Similar limits are turned into macros as well.
