[PATCH] copy_{to,from}_user(): fix compile-time sanity checks with gcc -Og

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Nov 02 2018 - 11:57:25 EST


When CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING is set, we get countless warnings
like

In function 'check_copy_size',
inlined from 'copy_from_user' at include/linux/uaccess.h:146:6,
inlined from '__copy_siginfo_from_user' at kernel/signal.c:3032:6:
include/linux/thread_info.h:147:4: error: call to '__bad_copy_to' declared with attribute error: copy destination size is too small

It seems that constant propagation doesn't work well enough to make
this code reliable, so turn it off for that configuration.
