Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 11/15] ubsan: Fix panic from test_ubsan_out_of_bounds

From: Mostafa Saleh <smostafa@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 9b044614be12d78d3a93767708b8d02fb7dfa9b0 ]

Running lib_ubsan.ko on arm64 (without CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP) panics the
kernel:

[   31.616546] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: test_ubsan_out_of_bounds+0x158/0x158 [test_ubsan]
[   31.646817] CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 179 Comm: insmod Not tainted 6.15.0-rc2 #1 PREEMPT

[   31.655680]  do_init_module+0x58/0x2b4

That happens because the test corrupts other data in the stack:
400:   d5384108        mrs     x8, sp_el0
404:   f9426d08        ldr     x8, [x8, #1240]
408:   f85f83a9        ldur    x9, [x29, #-8]
40c:   eb09011f        cmp     x8, x9
410:   54000301        b.ne    470 <test_ubsan_out_of_bounds+0x154>  // b.any

As there is no guarantee the compiler will order the local variables
as declared in the module:
        volatile char above[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */
        volatile int arr[4];
        volatile char below[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */

There is another problem where the out-of-bound index is 5 which is larger
than the extra surrounding memory for protection.

So, use a struct to enforce the ordering, and fix the index to be 4.
Also, remove some of the volatiles and rely on OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR()
