From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> The helper functions like crypto_skcipher_blocksize() take in a pointer to a tfm object, but they actually return properties of the algorithm. As the Linux kernel is compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing, the compiler has to assume that the writes to struct skcipher_walk could clobber the tfm's pointer to its algorithm. Thus it gets repeatedly reloaded in the generated code. Therefore, replace the use of these helper functions with staightforward accesses to the struct fields.
