Subject: [PATCH 5/5] [RFC] mm: annotate memory allocation functions with their sizes

gcc and clang support the alloc_size attribute. Quoting
<https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html#Common-Function-Attributes>:

  alloc_size (position)
  alloc_size (position-1, position-2)

    The alloc_size attribute may be applied to a function that returns a
    pointer and takes at least one argument of an integer or enumerated
    type. It indicates that the returned pointer points to memory whose
    size is given by the function argument at position-1, or by the product
    of the arguments at position-1 and position-2. Meaningful sizes are
    positive values less than PTRDIFF_MAX. GCC uses this information to
    improve the results of __builtin_object_size.

gcc supports this back to at least 4.3.6 [1], and clang has supported it
since December 2016 [2]. I think this is sufficent to make it always-on.

Annotate the kmalloc and vmalloc family: where a memory allocation has a
size knowable at compile time, allow the compiler to use that for
__builtin_object_size() calculations.

There are a couple of limitations:

 * only functions that return a single pointer can be directly annotated

 * only functions that take the size as a parameter (or as the product of
   two parameters) can be directly annotated.

These could possibly be addressed in future with some hackery.

This is useful for two things:

  * __builtin_object_size() is used in fortify and copy_to/from_user to
    find bugs at compile time and run time.

  * knowing the size allows the compiler to inline things when using
    __builtin_* functions. With my config with FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled
    I see a number of strlcpys being converted into a strlen and inline
    memcpy. This leads to an overall size increase of 0.04% (per
    bloat-o-meter) when compiled with -O2.
