I have observed this on x86 and powerpc. When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the operands. However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo() once they have performed the fortify check. This breaks things in 2 ways: - the three function calls are technically dead code, and can be eliminated. When __builtin_ versions are used, the compiler can detect this. - Using __builtins may bypass KASAN checks if the compiler decides to inline it's own implementation as sequence of instructions, rather than emit a function call that goes out to a KASAN-instrumented implementation. The patches address each reason in turn. Finally, test_memcmp used a stack array without explicit initialisation, which can sometimes break too, so fix that up. v3: resend with Reviewed-bys, hopefully for inclusion in 5.8. v2: - some cleanups, don't mess with arch code as I missed some wrinkles. - add stack array init (patch 3) Daniel Axtens (3): kasan: stop tests being eliminated as dead code with FORTIFY_SOURCE string.h: fix incompatibility between FORTIFY_SOURCE and KASAN kasan: initialise array in kasan_memcmp test include/linux/string.h | 60 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- lib/test_kasan.c | 32 +++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
