The out-of-bounds test allocates an object that is three bytes too short
in order to validate the bounds checking. Starting with gcc-14, this
causes a compile-time warning as gcc has grown smart enough to understand
the sizeof() logic:
mm/kasan/kasan_test.c: In function 'kmalloc_oob_16':
mm/kasan/kasan_test.c:443:14: error: allocation of insufficient size '13' for type 'struct <anonymous>' with size '16' [-Werror=alloc-size]
443 | ptr1 = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr1) - 3, GFP_KERNEL);
| ^
Hide the actual computation behind a RELOC_HIDE() that ensures
the compiler misses the intentional bug.

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 Restructured Text 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.
