fortify: Capture __bos() results in const temp vars
In two recent run-time memcpy() bound checking bug reports (NFS[1] and JFS[2]), the _detection_ was working correctly (in the sense that the requested copy size was larger than the destination field size), but the _warning text_ was showing the destination field size as SIZE_MAX ("unknown size"). This should be impossible, since the detection function will explicitly give up if the destination field size is unknown. For example, the JFS warning was: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 132) of single field "ip->i_link" at fs/jfs/namei.c:950 (size 18446744073709551615) Other cases of this warning (e.g.[3]) have reported correctly, and the reproducer only happens under GCC (at least 10.2 and 12.1), so this currently appears to be a GCC bug. Explicitly capturing the __builtin_object_size() results in const temporary variables fixes the report. For example, the JFS reproducer now correctly reports the field size (128): memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 132) of single field "ip->i_link" at fs/jfs/namei.c:950 (size 128) Examination of the .text delta (which is otherwise identical), shows the literal value used in the report changing: - mov $0xffffffffffffffff,%rcx + mov $0x80,%ecx [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y0zEzZwhOxTDcBTB@codemonkey.org.uk/ [2] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=23d613df5259b977dac1696bec77f61a85890e3d [3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/202210110948.26b43120-yujie.liu@intel.com/ Cc: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@treblig.org> Cc: llvm@lists.linux.dev Cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
