In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
exposes the existing upper bound on crypto block sizes for VLA removal,
and introduces a new check for alignmask (current maximum in the kernel
is 63 from manual inspection of all cra_alignmask settings).

How do these differ from MAX_CIPHER_BLOCKSIZE and MAX_CIPHER_ALIGNMASK, and why
are they declared in different places?

This is what I get for staring at crypto code for so long. I entirely
missed these checks... even though they're 8 line away:

        if (!alg->cra_type && (alg->cra_flags & CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_MASK) ==
                               CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER) {
                if (alg->cra_alignmask > MAX_CIPHER_ALIGNMASK)
                        return -EINVAL;

                if (alg->cra_blocksize > MAX_CIPHER_BLOCKSIZE)
                        return -EINVAL;
        }

However, this is only checking CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER, and
cra_blocksize can be used for all kinds of things.

include/crypto/algapi.h:#define MAX_CIPHER_ALIGNMASK            15
...
drivers/crypto/mxs-dcp.c:                       .cra_flags
 = CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC,
drivers/crypto/mxs-dcp.c:                       .cra_alignmask          = 63,

Is this one broken? It has no CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_... ?

For my CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_BLOCKSIZE, there is:

crypto/xcbc.c:  u8 key1[CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_BLOCKSIZE];
drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_algs.c:       char
ipad[CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_BLOCKSIZE];
drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_algs.c:       char
opad[CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_BLOCKSIZE];

It looks like both xcbc and qat are used with shash, so that needs a
separate max blocksize.

For my CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_ALIGNMASK, there is:

crypto/shash.c: u8 ubuf[CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_ALIGNMASK]
crypto/shash.c:         __aligned(CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_ALIGNMASK + 1);
crypto/shash.c:         __aligned(CRYPTO_ALG_MAX_ALIGNMASK + 1);

which is also shash.

How should I rename these and best apply the registration-time sanity checks?

It's overloaded for different purposes, depending on the type of algorithm.
It's poorly documented, but the uses I see are:

(1) Block size for "ciphers", i.e. what the rest of the world calls "block ciphers".
(2) Minimum input size for "skciphers" -- usually either 1 or the block size of
    the underlying block cipher, in the case that the skcipher is something like
    "cbc(aes)", where a block cipher is wrapped in a mode of operation.
(3) Block size for hash functions that use an internal compression function,
    e.g. SHA-1 has a block size of 64 bytes.

I'm not sure it makes sense to have a single limit for all these uses.  All the
block ciphers supported by Linux have a block size of 16 bytes or less, while
hash functions usually have larger "block sizes".

Actually, xcbc is a 'shash' template (CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SHASH) that wraps a block
cipher (CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER) and sets its own cra_blocksize to the block
cipher's block size.  So the same block size can be gotten from either
'crypto_shash_blocksize(parent)' or 'crypto_cipher_blocksize(ctx->child)'.
It can only be 16 bytes, currently, since xcbc_create() only allows
instantiating the template if that's the block size.

But in the case of qat_alg_do_precomputes(), yes it appears to need the hash
block size.

I'm not sure, but it may make sense to enforce a smaller limit for algorithm
types like CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER and maybe even CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SHASH that
can't be implemented in a hardware driver, as their APIs are not asynchronous
and don't operate on scatterlists.  Only hardware drivers can need very large
alignmasks like 64 bytes, I believe.
