commit 7a19afee6fb39df63ddea7ce78976d8c521178c6 upstream.

Similar to commit 09c6304e38e4 ("kasan: test: fix compatibility with
FORTIFY_SOURCE") the kernel is panicing in kasan_string().

This is due to the `src` and `ptr` not being hidden from the optimizer
which would disable the runtime fortify string checker.

<title>kasan/test: avoid gcc warning for intentional overflow</title>

[ Upstream commit e10aea105e9ed14b62a11844fec6aaa87c6935a3 ]

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 &lt;anonymous&gt;' 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.

<title>kasan: test: add memcpy test that avoids out-of-bounds write</title>

<id>urn:sha1:76645e0f5a2a5cda920c0edce599558ae9f499cd</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 758cabae312d3aded781aacc6d0c946b299c52df ]

With HW tag-based KASAN, error checks are performed implicitly by the
load and store instructions in the memcpy implementation.  A failed
check results in tag checks being disabled and execution will keep
going.  As a result, under HW tag-based KASAN, prior to commit
1b0668be62cf ("kasan: test: disable kmalloc_memmove_invalid_size for
HW_TAGS"), this memcpy would end up corrupting memory until it hits an
inaccessible page and causes a kernel panic.

This is a pre-existing issue that was revealed by commit 285133040e6c
("arm64: Import latest memcpy()/memmove() implementation") which changed
the memcpy implementation from using signed comparisons (incorrectly,
resulting in the memcpy being terminated early for negative sizes) to
using unsigned comparisons.

It is unclear how this could be handled by memcpy itself in a reasonable
way.  One possibility would be to add an exception handler that would
force memcpy to return if a tag check fault is detected -- this would
make the behavior roughly similar to generic and SW tag-based KASAN.
However, this wouldn't solve the problem for asynchronous mode and also
makes memcpy behavior inconsistent with manually copying data.

This test was added as a part of a series that taught KASAN to detect
negative sizes in memory operations, see commit 8cceeff48f23 ("kasan:
detect negative size in memory operation function").  Therefore we
should keep testing for negative sizes with generic and SW tag-based
KASAN.  But there is some value in testing small memcpy overflows, so
let's add another test with memcpy that does not destabilize the kernel
by performing out-of-bounds writes, and run it in all modes.

[ Upstream commit aaf50b1969d7933a51ea421b11432a7fb90974e3 ]

GCC 12 continues to get smarter about array accesses. The KASAN tests
are expecting to explicitly test out-of-bounds conditions at run-time,
so hide the variable from GCC, to avoid warnings like:

../lib/test_kasan.c: In function 'ksize_uaf':
../lib/test_kasan.c:790:61: warning: array subscript 120 is outside array bounds of 'void[120]' [-Warray-bounds]

<content type='text'>
Some KASAN tests use global variables to store function returns values so
that the compiler doesn't optimize away these functions.

ksize_uaf() doesn't call any functions, so it doesn't need to use
kasan_int_result.  Use volatile accesses instead, to be consistent with
other similar tests.

kmalloc_uaf_memset() writes to freed memory, which is only safe with the
GENERIC mode (as it uses quarantine).  For other modes, this test corrupts
kernel memory, which might result in a crash.

Only enable kmalloc_uaf_memset() for the GENERIC mode.

kmalloc_oob_memset_*() tests do writes past the allocated objects.  As the
result, they corrupt memory, which might lead to crashes with the HW_TAGS
mode, as it neither uses quarantine nor redzones.

Adjust the tests to only write memory within the aligned kmalloc objects.

Also add a comment mentioning that memset tests are designed to touch both
valid and invalid memory.
