Linus Torvalds d0989d01c6 hardening updates for v6.1-rc1
Various fixes across several hardening areas:
 
 - loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).
 
 - zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill Wendling).
 
 - CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van Assche).
 
 - Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes (Sami
   Tolvanen, Kees Cook).
 
 - fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.
 
 Improvements to existing features:
 
 - testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
   add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).
 
 - overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.
 
 New features:
 
 - string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
   strncpy() replacement needs.
 
 - um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.
 
 - fortify: Enable run-time struct member memcpy() overflow warning.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
  various hardening features (details noted below).

  The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
  overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
  on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
  buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
  time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
  years (e.g. BleedingTooth).

  This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
  positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
  reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
  All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
  either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.

  The commit message in commit 54d9469bc5 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
  for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
  I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
  actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
  and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
  finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.

  Summary:

  Various fixes across several hardening areas:

   - loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).

   - zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill
     Wendling).

   - CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van
     Assche).

   - Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes
     (Sami Tolvanen, Kees Cook).

   - fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.

  Improvements to existing features:

   - testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
     add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).

   - overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.

  New features:

   - string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
     strncpy() replacement needs.

   - um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.

   - fortify: Enable run-time struct member memcpy() overflow warning"
