If the constants are visible they need better names.
Maybe CRYPTO_MAX_xxx.
You can also do much better than allocating MAX_BLOCKSIZE + MAX_ALIGNMASK
bytes by requesting 'long' aligned on-stack memory.
The easiest way is to define a union like:
union crypto_tmp {
u8 buf[CRYPTO_MAX_TMP_BUF];
long buf_align;
};
Then in each function:
union tmp crypto_tmp;
u8 *keystream = PTR_ALIGN(tmp.buf, alignmask + 1);
I think CRYPTO_MAX_TMP_BUF needs to be MAX_BLOCKSIZE + MAX_ALIGNMASK - sizeof
(long).
