[PATCH v2 17/24] kcov: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Tue Jun 27 2023 - 10:46:47 EST


Use vmalloc_array and vcalloc to protect against
multiplication overflows.

The changes were done using the following Coccinelle
semantic patch:

// <smpl>
@initialize:ocaml@
@@

let rename alloc =
match alloc with
"vmalloc" -> "vmalloc_array"
| "vzalloc" -> "vcalloc"
| _ -> failwith "unknown"

typedef __u8;
type t = {u8,__u8,char,unsigned char};
identifier alloc = {vmalloc,vzalloc};
fresh identifier realloc = script:ocaml(alloc) { rename alloc };

v2: Use vmalloc_array and vcalloc instead of array_size.
This also leaves a multiplication of a constant by a sizeof
as is. Two patches are thus dropped from the series.
