[PATCH v2 10/11] crypto: ahash: Remove VLA usage for AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 17:11:48 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 huge. Looking
at all callers of crypto_ahash_set_reqsize(), the largest appears to be
664 bytes, based on a combination of manual inspection and pahole output:

4 dcp_sha_req_ctx
40 crypto4xx_ctx
52 hash_req_ctx
80 ahash_request
88 rk_ahash_rctx
104 sun4i_req_ctx
200 mcryptd_hash_request_ctx
216 safexcel_ahash_req
228 sha1_hash_ctx
228 sha256_hash_ctx
248 img_hash_request_ctx
252 mtk_sha_reqctx
276 sahara_sha_reqctx
304 mv_cesa_ahash_req
316 iproc_reqctx_s
320 caam_hash_state
320 qce_sha_reqctx
356 sha512_hash_ctx
384 ahash_req_ctx
400 chcr_ahash_req_ctx
416 stm32_hash_request_ctx
432 talitos_ahash_req_ctx
462 atmel_sha_reqctx
496 ccp_aes_cmac_req_ctx
616 ccp_sha_req_ctx
664 artpec6_hash_request_context

So, this chooses 720 as a larger "round" number for the max.
