glib-compat: Introduce g_memdup2() wrapper
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When experimenting raising GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to 2.68
(Fedora 34 provides GLib 2.68.1) we get:

  hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c:245:24: error: 'g_memdup' is deprecated: Use 'g_memdup2' instead [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
  ...

g_memdup() has been updated by g_memdup2() to fix eventual security
issues (size argument is 32-bit and could be truncated / wrapping).
GLib recommends to copy their static inline version of g_memdup2():
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/port-your-module-from-g-memdup-to-g-memdup2-now/5538

Our glib-compat.h provides a comment explaining how to deal with
these deprecated declarations (see commit e71e8cc
"glib: enforce the minimum required version and warn about old APIs").

Following this comment suggestion, implement the g_memdup2_qemu()
wrapper to g_memdup2(), and use the safer equivalent inlined when
we are using pre-2.68 GLib.

* g_memdup2_qemu:

* @byte_size: the number of bytes to copy.
*
* Allocates @byte_size bytes of memory, and copies @byte_size bytes into it
* from @mem. If @mem is %NULL it returns %NULL.

* This replaces g_memdup(), which was prone to integer overflows when
* converting the argument from a #gsize to a #guint.

* This static inline version is a backport of the new public API from
* GLib 2.68, kept internal to GLib for backport to older stable releases.

* Returns: (nullable): a pointer to the newly-allocated copy of the memory,
* or %NULL if @mem is %NULL.
