  • On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this avoids VLAs
    by just using the maximum allocation size (4 bytes) for stack arrays.
    All the VLAs in ecc were either 3 or 4 bytes (or a multiple), so just
    make it 4 bytes all the time. Initialization routines are adjusted to
    check that ndigits does not end up larger than the arrays.

    This includes a removal of the earlier attempt at this fix from
    commit a963834b4742 ("crypto/ecc: Remove stack VLA usage")
