Laura Abbott 02608e02fb crypto: testmgr - Use heap buffer for acomp test input
Christopher Covington reported a crash on aarch64 on recent Fedora
kernels:

kernel BUG at ./include/linux/scatterlist.h:140!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

The test vectors used for input are part of the kernel image. These
inputs are passed as a buffer to sg_init_one which eventually blows up
with BUG_ON(!virt_addr_valid(buf)). On arm64, virt_addr_valid returns
false for the kernel image since virt_to_page will not return the
correct page. Fix this by copying the input vectors to heap buffer
before setting up the scatterlist.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
