[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kasan/test: avoid gcc warning for intentional overflow
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kasan-test-avoid-gcc-warning-for-intentional-overflow.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kasan/test: avoid gcc warning for intentional overflow
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:15:52 +0100

The out-of-bounds test allocates an object that is three bytes too short
in order to validate the bounds checking.  Starting with gcc-14, this
causes a compile-time warning as gcc has grown smart enough to understand
the sizeof() logic:

mm/kasan/kasan_test.c: In function 'kmalloc_oob_16':
mm/kasan/kasan_test.c:443:14: error: allocation of insufficient size '13' for type 'struct <anonymous>' with size '16' [-Werror=alloc-size]
  443 |         ptr1 = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr1) - 3, GFP_KERNEL);
      |              ^

Hide the actual computation behind a RELOC_HIDE() that ensures
the compiler misses the intentional bug.
