[PATCH v2 0/7] KVM: selftests: Fix "fix hypercall test" build errors

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Sep 28 2022 - 19:37:02 EST


After a toolchain upgrade, the x86 fix_hypercall_test started throwing
warnings due to -Werror=array-bounds rightly complaining that the test is
generating an out-of-bounds array access.

The "obvious" fix is to replace the memcpy() with a memcmp() and compare
only the exact size of the hypercall instruction. That worked, until I
fiddled with the code a bit more and suddenly the test started jumping into
the weeds due to gcc generating a call to the external memcmp() through the
PLT, which isn't supported in the selftests.

To fix that mess, which has been a pitfall for quite some time, provide
implementations of memcmp(), memcpy(), and memset() to effectively override
the compiler built-ins. My thought is to start with the helpers that are
most likely to be used in guest code, and then add more as needed.

v2:
- Revert a patch that avoided memset(). [Jim]
- Collect reviews. [Oliver]
- Rename kvm_string.c => string_overrides.c. [David]
- Tweak the "fix hypercall" test to verify that the original opcode
is preserved exactly. [Oliver]
- Further dedup code in the "fix hypercall" test.
