Linus Torvalds 48ea09cdda hardening updates for v6.2-rc1
- Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings,
   and fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by
   maintainers (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook).
 
 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(),
   add more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing
   of all allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect
   so that each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without
   exceptions.
 
 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off)
   to provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook).
 
 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for
   cleaner overflow checking.
 
 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc.
 
 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy
   tests.
 
 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred().
 
 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell).
 
 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR
   (Xin Li).
 
 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu).
 
 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments.
