[ Upstream commit a4947e84f23474803b62a2759b5808147e4e15f9 ]

The various array_size functions use SIZE_MAX define, but missed limits.h
causes to failure to compile code that needs overflow.h.

 In file included from drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_std_types_device.c:6:
 ./include/linux/overflow.h: In function 'array_size':
 ./include/linux/overflow.h:258:10: error: 'SIZE_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)
   258 |   return SIZE_MAX;
       |          ^~~~~~~~

Fixes: 610b15c50e86 ("overflow.h: Add allocation size calculation helpers")

commit 610b15c50e86eb1e4b77274fabcaea29ac72d6a8 upstream.

In preparation for replacing unchecked overflows for memory allocations,
this creates helpers for the 3 most common calculations:

array_size(a, b): 2-dimensional array
array3_size(a, b, c): 3-dimensional array
struct_size(ptr, member, n): struct followed by n-many trailing members

Each of these return SIZE_MAX on overflow instead of wrapping around.

(Additionally renames a variable named "array_size" to avoid future
collision.)

commit 0c66847793d1982d1083dc6f7adad60fa265ce9c upstream.

Add shift_overflow() helper to assist driver authors in ensuring that
shift operations don't cause overflows or other odd conditions.

<title>compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1777fa9611fcf295e72f030ca4900c5356cb8bd3</id>

commit f0907827a8a9152aedac2833ed1b674a7b2a44f2 upstream.

This adds wrappers for the __builtin overflow checkers present in gcc
5.1+ as well as fallback implementations for earlier compilers. It's not
that easy to implement the fully generic __builtin_X_overflow(T1 a, T2
b, T3 *d) in macros, so the fallback code assumes that T1, T2 and T3 are
the same. We obviously don't want the wrappers to have different
semantics depending on $GCC_VERSION, so we also insist on that even when
using the builtins.

There are a few problems with the 'a+b &lt; a' idiom for checking for
overflow: For signed types, it relies on undefined behaviour and is
not actually complete (it doesn't check underflow;
e.g. INT_MIN+INT_MIN == 0 isn't caught). Due to type promotion it
is wrong for all types (signed and unsigned) narrower than
int. Similarly, when a and b does not have the same type, there are
subtle cases like

  u32 a;

  if (a + sizeof(foo) &lt; a)
    return -EOVERFLOW;
  a += sizeof(foo);

where the test is always false on 64 bit platforms. Add to that that it
is not always possible to determine the types involved at a glance.

The new overflow.h is somewhat bulky, but that's mostly a result of
trying to be type-generic, complete (e.g. catching not only overflow
but also signed underflow) and not relying on undefined behaviour.

Linus is of course right [1] that for unsigned subtraction a-b, the
right way to check for overflow (underflow) is "b &gt; a" and not
"__builtin_sub_overflow(a, b, &amp;d)", but that's just one out of six cases
covered here, and included mostly for completeness.

So is it worth it? I think it is, if nothing else for the documentation
value of seeing

  if (check_add_overflow(a, b, &amp;d))
    return -EGOAWAY;
  do_stuff_with(d);

instead of the open-coded (and possibly wrong and/or incomplete and/or
UBsan-tickling)

  if (a+b &lt; a)
    return -EGOAWAY;
  do_stuff_with(a+b);

While gcc does recognize the 'a+b &lt; a' idiom for testing unsigned add
overflow, it doesn't do nearly as good for unsigned multiplication
(there's also no single well-established idiom). So using
check_mul_overflow in kcalloc and friends may also make gcc generate
slightly better code.
