The use of variable length arrays in structs (VLAIS) in the Linux Kerne=
l code
precludes the use of compilers which don't implement VLAIS (for instanc=
e the
Clang compiler). This patch instead allocates the appropriate amount of=
memory
using an char array.

struct shash_desc contains a flexible array member member ctx declared =
with
CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR, so sizeof(struct shash_desc) aligns the beginning
of the array declared after struct shash_desc with long long.

No trailing padding is required because it is not a struct type that ca=
n
be used in an array.

The CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR is required so that desc is aligned with long =
long
as would be the case for a struct containing a member with
CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR.
