sys-limits.h: new file for crypto and safe I/O * lib/af_alg.c: Include sys-limits.h. (MAX_RW_COUNT): Remove. Use replaced by SYS_BUFSIZE_MAX. (afalg_stream): Also reject negative sizes for sendfile; they should not happen and the code is a bit cleaner and faster this way. * lib/safe-read.c: Include sys-limits.h. (BUGGY_READ_MAXIMUM): Remove. All uses replaced by SYS_BUFSIZE_MAX. * lib/sys-limits.h: New file, with values and commentary derived from the old safe-read.c and from GNU Emacs sysdep.c. * modules/crypto/md5, modules/crypto/sha1, modules/crypto/sha256: * modules/crypto/sha512, modules/safe-read, modules/safe-write: Add lib/sys-limits.h to Files section.

/* Maximum number of bytes to read or write in a single system call.
This can be useful for system calls like sendfile on GNU/Linux,
which do not handle more than MAX_RW_COUNT bytes correctly.
The Linux kernel MAX_RW_COUNT is at least INT_MAX >> 20 << 20,
where the 20 comes from the Hexagon port with 1 MiB pages; use that
as an approximation, as the exact value may not be available to us.
Using this also works around a serious Linux bug before 2.6.16; see
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612839>.
Using this also works around a Tru64 5.1 bug, where attempting
to read INT_MAX bytes fails with errno == EINVAL. See
<https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnu-utils/2002-04/msg00010.html>.
Using this is likely to work around similar bugs in other operating
systems. */
