[PATCH 0/6] slab: Provide full coverage for __alloc_size attribute

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This is a series to work around a deficiency in GCC (>=11) and Clang
(<16) where the __alloc_size attribute does not apply to inlines. :(
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=96503

This manifests as reduced overflow detection coverage for many allocation
sites under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, where the allocation size was
not actually being propagated to __builtin_dynamic_object_size(). In
addition to working around the issue, expand use of __alloc_size (and
__realloc_size) to more places and provide KUnit tests to validate all
the covered allocator APIs.
