Merge tag 'hardening-v6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook: - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook) - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook) - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner overflow checking - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred() - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell) - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin Li) - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu) - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments * tag 'hardening-v6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: (31 commits) ksmbd: replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members hpet: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member um: virt-pci: Avoid GCC non-NULL warning signal: Initialize the info in ksignal lib: fortify_kunit: build without structleak plugin panic: Expose "warn_count" to sysfs panic: Introduce warn_limit panic: Consolidate open-coded panic_on_warn checks exit: Allow oops_limit to be disabled exit: Expose "oops_count" to sysfs exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops panic: Separate sysctl logic from CONFIG_SMP mm/pgtable: Fix multiple -Wstringop-overflow warnings mm: Make ksize() a reporting-only function kunit/fortify: Validate __alloc_size attribute results drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid() drm/fsl-dcu: Fix return type of fsl_dcu_drm_connector_mode_valid() driver core: Add __alloc_size hint to devm allocators overflow: Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() coredump: Proactively round up to kmalloc bucket size ...
