GCC 14.1 complains about the argument usage of kmemdup_array():

  drivers/soc/tegra/fuse/fuse-tegra.c:130:65: error: 'kmemdup_array' sizes specified with 'sizeof' in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Werror=calloc-transposed-args]
    130 |         fuse-&gt;lookups = kmemdup_array(fuse-&gt;soc-&gt;lookups, sizeof(*fuse-&gt;lookups),
        |                                                                 ^
  drivers/soc/tegra/fuse/fuse-tegra.c:130:65: note: earlier argument should specify number of elements, later size of each element

The annotation introduced by commit 7d78a7773355 ("string: Add
additional __realloc_size() annotations for "dup" helpers") lets the
compiler think that kmemdup_array() follows the same format as calloc(),
with the number of elements preceding the size of one element. So we
could simply swap the arguments to __realloc_size() to get rid of that
warning, but it seems cleaner to instead have kmemdup_array() follow the
same format as krealloc_array(), memdup_array_user(), calloc() etc.

     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"

     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

<title>string: Add additional __realloc_size() annotations for "dup" helpers</title>

Several other "dup"-style interfaces could use the __realloc_size()
attribute. (As a reminder to myself and others: "realloc" is used here
instead of "alloc" because the "alloc_size" attribute implies that the
memory contents are uninitialized. Since we're copying contents into the
resulting allocation, it must use "realloc_size" to avoid confusing the
compiler's optimization passes.)

Add KUnit test coverage where possible. (KUnit still does not have the
ability to manipulate userspace memory.)

<title>string.h: Introduce memtostr() and memtostr_pad()</title>

Another ambiguous use of strncpy() is to copy from strings that may not
be NUL-terminated. These cases depend on having the destination buffer
be explicitly larger than the source buffer's maximum size, having
the size of the copy exactly match the source buffer's maximum size,
and for the destination buffer to get explicitly NUL terminated.

This usually happens when parsing protocols or hardware character arrays
that are not guaranteed to be NUL-terminated. The code pattern is
effectively this:

	char dest[sizeof(src) + 1];

	strncpy(dest, src, sizeof(src));
	dest[sizeof(dest) - 1] = '\0';

In practice it usually looks like:

struct from_hardware {
	...
	char name[HW_NAME_SIZE] __nonstring;
	...
};

	struct from_hardware *p = ...;
	char name[HW_NAME_SIZE + 1];

	strncpy(name, p-&gt;name, HW_NAME_SIZE);
	name[NW_NAME_SIZE] = '\0';

This cannot be replaced with:

	strscpy(name, p-&gt;name, sizeof(name));

because p-&gt;name is smaller and not NUL-terminated, so FORTIFY will
trigger when strnlen(p-&gt;name, sizeof(name)) is used. And it cannot be
replaced with:

	strscpy(name, p-&gt;name, sizeof(p-&gt;name));

because then "name" may contain a 1 character early truncation of
p-&gt;name.

Provide an unambiguous interface for converting a maybe not-NUL-terminated
string to a NUL-terminated string, with compile-time buffer size checking
so that it can never fail at runtime: memtostr() and memtostr_pad(). Also
add KUnit tests for both.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "As is pretty normal for this tree, there are changes all over the
  place, especially for small fixes, selftest improvements, and improved
  macro usability.

  Some header changes ended up landing via this tree as they depended on
  the string header cleanups. Also, a notable set of changes is the work
  for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
  so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to
  make this sanitizer a more viable future security hardening option.

  Summary:

   - string.h and related header cleanups (Tanzir Hasan, Andy
     Shevchenko)

   - VMCI memcpy() usage and struct_size() cleanups (Vasiliy Kovalev,
     Harshit Mogalapalli)

     (Michael Ellerman)

   - hardened Kconfig fragment updates (Marco Elver, Lukas Bulwahn)

   - Handle tail call optimization better in LKDTM (Douglas Anderson)

   - Use long form types in overflow.h (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add flags param to string_get_size() (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add Coccinelle script for potential struct_size() use (Jacob
     Keller)

   - Fix objtool corner case under KCFI (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - Drop 13 year old backward compat CAP_SYS_ADMIN check (Jingzi Meng)

   - Add str_plural() helper (Michal Wajdeczko, Kees Cook)

   - Ignore relocations in .notes section

   - Add comments to explain how __is_constexpr() works

   - Fix m68k stack alignment expectations in stackinit Kunit test

   - Convert string selftests to KUnit

   - Add KUnit tests for fortified string functions

   - Improve reporting during fortified string warnings

   - Allow non-type arg to type_max() and type_min()

   - Allow strscpy() to be called with only 2 arguments

   - Add binary mode to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Various small cleanups to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Adding wrapping_*() arithmetic helper

   - Annotate initial signed integer wrap-around in refcount_t

   - Add explicit UBSAN section to MAINTAINERS

   - Fix UBSAN self-test warnings

   - Simplify UBSAN build via removal of CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL

   - Reintroduce UBSAN's signed overflow sanitizer"

The lib/cmdline.c is basically a set of some small string parsers
which are wide used in the kernel. Their prototypes belong to the
string.h rather then kernel.h.

Similar to strscpy(), update strscpy_pad()'s 3rd argument to be
optional when the destination is a compile-time known size array.

Using sizeof(dst) for the "size" argument in strscpy() is the
overwhelmingly common case. Instead of requiring this everywhere, allow a
2-argument version to be used that will use the sizeof() internally. There
are other functions in the kernel with optional arguments[1], so this
isn't unprecedented, and improves readability. Update and relocate the
kern-doc for strscpy() too, and drop __HAVE_ARCH_STRSCPY as it is unused.

Adjust ARCH=um build to notice the changed export name, as it doesn't
do full header includes for the string helpers.

This could additionally let us save a few hundred lines of code:
 1177 files changed, 2455 insertions(+), 3026 deletions(-)
with a treewide cleanup using Coccinelle:

@needless_arg@
expression DST, SRC;
@@

        strscpy(DST, SRC
-, sizeof(DST)
        )

In preparation for making strscpy_pad()'s 3rd argument optional, redefine
it as a macro. This also has the benefit of allowing greater FORITFY
introspection, as it couldn't see into the strscpy() nor the memset()
within strscpy_pad().
