Subject: [PATCH] lib/crypto: aes: Fix missing MMU protection for AES S-box
Date: Tue,  6 Jan 2026 21:20:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260107052023.174620-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)

__cacheline_aligned puts the data in the ".data..cacheline_aligned"
section, which isn't marked read-only i.e. it doesn't receive MMU
protection.  Replace it with ____cacheline_aligned which does the right
thing and just aligns the data while keeping it in ".rodata".

Fixes: b5e0b032b6c3 ("crypto: aes - add generic time invariant AES cipher")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Reported-by: Qingfang Deng <dqfext@gmail.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260105074712.498-1-dqfext@gmail.com/
