Subject: [PATCH] kasan: add KUnit tests for __counted_by and __counted_by_ptr
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 23:17:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928231737.2092716-1-morbo@google.com> (raw)
The '__counted_by' and '__counted_by_ptr' attributes associate a
flexible array member or pointer member with a struct field that holds
its element count. Supporting compilers use these annotations to
compute dynamic object sizes via '__builtin_dynamic_object_size()' and
perform runtime bounds checking with KASAN.
Add KUnit tests ('counted_by_flex_oob_access' and
'counted_by_ptr_oob_access', guarded by CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY and
CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY_PTR respectively) to verify that:
- '__builtin_dynamic_object_size()' returns the expected byte size for
annotated flexible array and pointer members.
- KASAN detects out-of-bounds read and write accesses beyond the
annotated count.
Allocate the test structures in 'noinline' helpers and hide the
returned pointers with OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() so allocation-size
attributes and compiler optimizations do not mask the '__counted_by'
and '__counted_by_ptr' checks.
