Hi,

In preparation for gaining instrumentation for signed[1], unsigned[2], and
pointer[3] wrap-around, expand the overflow header to include wrap-around
helpers that can be used to annotate arithmetic where wrapped calculations
are expected (e.g. atomics).

After spending time getting the unsigned integer wrap-around sanitizer
running warning-free on a basic x86_64 boot[4], I think the add/sub/mul
helpers first argument being the output type makes the most sense (as
suggested by Rasmus).

Kees Cook (3):
  overflow: Adjust check_*_overflow() kern-doc to reflect results
  overflow: Introduce wrapping_add(), wrapping_sub(), and wrapping_mul()
  overflow: Introduce wrapping_assign_add() and wrapping_assign_sub()
