Subject: [PATCH] fortify: fix warnings in fortify tests with KASAN

When a software KASAN mode is enabled, the fortify tests emit warnings
on some architectures.

For example, for ARCH=arm, the combination of CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y
and CONFIG_KASAN=y produces the following warnings:

    TEST    lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memchr.log
  warning: unsafe memchr() usage lacked '__read_overflow' warning in lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memchr.c
    TEST    lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memchr_inv.log
  warning: unsafe memchr_inv() usage lacked '__read_overflow' symbol in lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memchr_inv.c
    TEST    lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memcmp.log
  warning: unsafe memcmp() usage lacked '__read_overflow' warning in lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memcmp.c
    TEST    lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memscan.log
  warning: unsafe memscan() usage lacked '__read_overflow' symbol in lib/test_fortify/read_overflow-memscan.c
    TEST    lib/test_fortify/read_overflow2-memcmp.log
  warning: unsafe memcmp() usage lacked '__read_overflow2' warning in lib/test_fortify/read_overflow2-memcmp.c
     [ more and more similar warnings... ]

Commit 9c2d1328f88a ("kbuild: provide reasonable defaults for tool
coverage") removed KASAN flags from non-kernel objects by default.
It was an intended behavior because lib/test_fortify/*.c are unit
tests that are not linked to the kernel.

As it turns out, some architectures require -fsanitize=kernel-(hw)address
to define __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ for the fortify tests.

Without __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ defined, arch/arm/include/asm/string.h
defines __NO_FORTIFY, thus excluding <linux/fortify-string.h>.

This issue does not occur on x86 thanks to commit 4ec4190be4cf
("kasan, x86: don't rename memintrinsics in uninstrumented files"),
but there are still some architectures that define __NO_FORTIFY
in such a situation.

Set KASAN_SANITIZE=y explicitly to the fortify tests.

Kees Cook said "I'll try to figure this out", but I have not seen a patch so far,
so I decided to do this myself.
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/202405310908.A5733DF@keescook/)

I will send a pull req with this and some other fixes.
I need to fix this, as v6.10 will be released soon.
