Commit9bf4e919ccworked around an issue introduced after an innocuous optimisation change in LLVM main: > len is defined as an 'int' because it is assigned from > '__user int *optlen'. However, it is clamped against the result of > sizeof(), which has a type of 'size_t' ('unsigned long' for 64-bit > platforms). This is done with min_t() because min() requires compatible > types, which results in both len and the result of sizeof() being casted > to 'unsigned int', meaning len changes signs and the result of sizeof() > is truncated. From there, len is passed to copy_to_user(), which has a > third parameter type of 'unsigned long', so it is widened and changes > signs again. This excessive casting in combination with the KCSAN > instrumentation causes LLVM to fail to eliminate the __bad_copy_from() > call, failing the build. The same issue occurs in rfcomm in functions rfcomm_sock_getsockopt and rfcomm_sock_getsockopt_old. Change the type of len to size_t in both rfcomm_sock_getsockopt and rfcomm_sock_getsockopt_old and replace min_t() with min().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
