[PATCH 4/4] fortify: Use __builtin_dynamic_object_size() when available

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Sep 20 2022 - 15:22:35 EST


Since the commits starting with c37495d6254c ("slab: add __alloc_size
attributes for better bounds checking"), the compilers have runtime
allocation size hints available in some places. This was immediately
available to CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS, but CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE needed
updating to explicitly make use the hints via the associated
__builtin_dynamic_object_size() helper. Detect and use the builtin when
it is available, increasing the accuracy of the mitigation. When runtime
sizes are not available, __builtin_dynamic_object_size() falls back to
__builtin_object_size(), leaving the existing bounds checking unchanged.

Additionally update the VMALLOC_LINEAR_OVERFLOW LKDTM test to make the
hint invisible, otherwise the architectural defense is not exercised
(the buffer overflow is detected in the memset() rather than when it
crosses the edge of the allocation).
