Subject: [PATCH] kmsan: fix memcpy tests
Date: Mon,  5 Dec 2022 14:25:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221205132558.63484-1-glider@google.com> (raw)

Recent Clang changes may cause it to delete calls of memcpy(), if the
source is an uninitialized volatile local.
This happens because passing a pointer to a volatile local into memcpy()
discards the volatile qualifier, giving the compiler a free hand to
optimize the memcpy() call away.

To outsmart the compiler, we call __msan_memcpy() instead of memcpy()
in test_memcpy_aligned_to_aligned(), test_memcpy_aligned_to_unaligned()
and test_memcpy_aligned_to_unaligned2(), because it's the behavior of
__msan_memcpy() we are testing here anyway.
