Subject: [PATCH] ARM: kprobes: Avoid fortify_panic() when copying optprobe template

Setting both CONFIG_KPROBES=y and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y on ARM leads
to a panic in memcpy() when injecting a kprobe despite the fixes found
in commit e46daee53bb5 ("ARM: 8806/1: kprobes: Fix false positive with
FORTIFY_SOURCE") and commit 0ac569bf6a79 ("ARM: 8834/1: Fix: kprobes:
optimized kprobes illegal instruction").

arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h effectively declares
the target type of the optprobe_template_entry assembly label as a u32,
which leads memcpy()'s __builtin_object_size() call to determine that
the pointed-to object is of size four. In practical terms the symbol is
used as a handle for the optimised probe assembly template that is at
least 96 bytes in size. The symbol's use despite its type blows up the
memcpy() in ARM's arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe() with a false-positive
fortify_panic() when it should instead copy the optimised probe template
into place.

As mentioned, a couple of attempts have been made to address the issue
by casting a pointer to optprobe_template_entry before providing it to
memcpy(), however gccs such as Ubuntu 20.04's arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu1) see through these efforts.

Squash the false-positive by aliasing the template assembly with a new
symbol 'arm_optprobe_template'; declare it as a function object and
pass the function object as the argument to memcpy() such that
__builtin_object_size() cannot immediately determine the object size.

Fixes: 0ac569bf6a79 ("ARM: 8834/1: Fix: kprobes: optimized kprobes illegal instruction")
