[PATCH] x86: Use __builtin_object_size to validate the buffer size for copy_from_user

From: Arjan van de Ven
Date: Sat Sep 26 2009 - 06:36:21 EST


gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which reports the
size of an object that a pointer point to, when known at compile time.
If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a constant -1 is returned.

This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to copy_from_user();
if the target buffer is known to be smaller than the copy size, the copy
is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in memory debug mode.

These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known,
or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.
