Nathan Chancellor 379cca2ad9 staging: rtl8723bs: Avoid memset() in aes_cipher() and aes_decipher() 
commit a55bc4ffc0 upstream.

After commit 6f110a5e4f ("Disable SLUB_TINY for build testing"), which
causes CONFIG_KASAN to be enabled in allmodconfig again, arm64
allmodconfig builds with older versions of clang (15 through 17) show an
instance of -Wframe-larger-than (which breaks the build with
CONFIG_WERROR=y):

  drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_security.c:1287:5: error: stack frame size (2208) exceeds limit (2048) in 'rtw_aes_decrypt' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
   1287 | u32 rtw_aes_decrypt(struct adapter *padapter, u8 *precvframe)
        |     ^

This comes from aes_decipher() being inlined in rtw_aes_decrypt().
Running the same build with CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=128 shows aes_cipher()
also uses a decent amount of stack, just under the limit of 2048:

  drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_security.c:864:19: warning: stack frame size (1952) exceeds limit (128) in 'aes_cipher' [-Wframe-larger-than]
    864 | static signed int aes_cipher(u8 *key, uint      hdrlen,
        |                   ^

-Rpass-analysis=stack-frame-layout only shows one large structure on the
stack, which is the ctx variable inlined from aes128k128d(). A good
number of the other variables come from the additional checks of
fortified string routines, which are present in memset(), which both
aes_cipher() and aes_decipher() use to initialize some temporary
buffers. In this case, since the size is known at compile time, these
additional checks should not result in any code generation changes but
allmodconfig has several sanitizers enabled, which may make it harder
for the compiler to eliminate the compile time checks and the variables
that come about from them.

The memset() calls are just initializing these buffers to zero, so use
'= {}' instead, which is used all over the kernel and does the exact
same thing as memset() without the fortify checks, which drops the stack
usage of these functions by a few hundred kilobytes.

  drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_security.c:864:19: warning: stack frame size (1584) exceeds limit (128) in 'aes_cipher' [-Wframe-larger-than]

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
