lkdtm: hide stack overflow warning for corrupt-stack test
After the latest change to make sure the compiler actually does a memset, it is now smart enough to flag the stack overflow at compile time, at least with gcc-7.0: drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c: In function 'lkdtm_CORRUPT_STACK': drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:88:144: warning: 'memset' writing 64 bytes into a region of size 8 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=] To outsmart the compiler again, this moves the memset into a noinline function where (for now) it doesn't see that we intentionally write broken code here. Fixes: c55d240003ae ("lkdtm: Prevent the compiler from optimising lkdtm_CORRUPT_STACK()") Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
