With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled, string functions will also perform dynamic checks using __builtin_object_size(ptr), which when failed will panic the kernel. Because the KASAN test deliberately performs out-of-bounds operations, the kernel panics with FORTIFY_SOURCE, for example: | kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:910! | invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI | CPU: 1 PID: 137 Comm: kunit_try_catch Tainted: G B 5.16.0-rc3+ #3 | Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014 | RIP: 0010:fortify_panic+0x19/0x1b | ... | Call Trace: | kmalloc_oob_in_memset.cold+0x16/0x16 | ... Fix it by also hiding `ptr` from the optimizer, which will ensure that __builtin_object_size() does not return a valid size, preventing fortified string functions from panicking.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
