Subject: kasan/test: avoid gcc warning for intentional overflow
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:15:52 +0100
The out-of-bounds test allocates an object that is three bytes too short
in order to validate the bounds checking. Starting with gcc-14, this
causes a compile-time warning as gcc has grown smart enough to understand
the sizeof() logic:
mm/kasan/kasan_test.c: In function 'kmalloc_oob_16':
mm/kasan/kasan_test.c:443:14: error: allocation of insufficient size '13' for type 'struct <anonymous>' with size '16' [-Werror=alloc-size]
443 | ptr1 = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr1) - 3, GFP_KERNEL);
| ^
Hide the actual computation behind a RELOC_HIDE() that ensures
the compiler misses the intentional bug.
