lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy()
strscpy() performs the word-at-a-time optimistic reads. So it may may access the memory past the end of the object, which is perfectly fine since strscpy() doesn't use that (past-the-end) data and makes sure the optimistic read won't cross a page boundary. Use new read_word_at_a_time() to shut up the KASAN. Note that this potentially could hide some bugs. In example bellow, stscpy() will copy more than we should (1-3 extra uninitialized bytes): char dst[8]; char *src; src = kmalloc(5, GFP_KERNEL); memset(src, 0xff, 5); strscpy(dst, src, 8); Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
