With the addition of -fstrict-flex-arrays=3, struct sha256_state's trailing array is no longer ignored by CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE: struct sha256_state { u32 state[SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE / 4]; u64 count; u8 buf[SHA256_BLOCK_SIZE]; }; This means that the memcpy() calls with "buf" as a destination in sha256.c's code will attempt to perform run-time bounds checking, which could lead to calling missing functions, specifically a potential WARN_ONCE, which isn't callable from purgatory.
