From 9e4a617757273a86b560c1ece40c48e4940a3c79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2022 02:24:53 -0700 Subject: string: Add __realloc_size hint to kmemdup() Add __realloc_size() hint to kmemdup() so the compiler can reason about the length of the returned buffer. (These must not use __alloc_size, since those include __malloc which says the contents aren't defined[1]).
