kasan/test: avoid gcc warning for intentional overflow
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit e10aea1 ]

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.
