[PATCH v3 0/8] Add __alloc_size()

[Kees Cook]

Hi Andrew,

This is a refresh of the __alloc_size series you have in -mm
currently. This addresses the issues[1] Linus had with attribute
location and the redundant use of __malloc. These are meant to replace
the following patches:

compiler-attributes-add-__alloc_size-for-better-bounds-checking.patch
compiler-attributes-add-__alloc_size-for-better-bounds-checking-fix.patch
checkpatch-add-__alloc_size-to-known-attribute.patch
slab-clean-up-function-declarations.patch
slab-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch
mm-page_alloc-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch
percpu-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch
mm-vmalloc-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch
rapidio-avoid-bogus-__alloc_size-warning.patch

Thanks!

-Kees

v3:
- move attribute logic around to better handle GCC's weird behavior
- merge __malloc into the __alloc_size macro (Linus)
- refactor attribute positions (Linus)

Original cover letter:

GCC and Clang both use the "alloc_size" attribute to assist with bounds
checking around the use of allocation functions. Add the attribute,
adjust the Makefile to silence needless warnings, and add the hints to
the allocators where possible. These changes have been in use for a
while now in GrapheneOS.
