As discussed previously on libc-alpha [1], this patch follows up the idea
and add both the __attribute_alloc_size__ on malloc functions (malloc,
calloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc, pvalloc, and memalign) and limit
maximum requested allocation size to up PTRDIFF_MAX (taking into
consideration internal padding and alignment).
This aligns glibc with gcc expected size defined by default warning
-Walloc-size-larger-than value which warns for allocation larger than
PTRDIFF_MAX. It also aligns with gcc expectation regarding libc and
expected size, such as described in PR#67999 [2] and previously discussed
ISO C11 issues [3] on libc-alpha.
From the RFC thread [4] and previous discussion, it seems that consensus
is only to limit such requested size for malloc functions, not the system
allocation one (mmap, sbrk, etc.).
The implementation changes checked_request2size to check for both overflow
and maximum object size up to PTRDIFF_MAX. No additional checks are done
on sysmalloc, so it can still issue mmap with values larger than
PTRDIFF_T depending on the requested size.
The __attribute_alloc_size__ is for functions that return a pointer only,
which means it cannot be applied to posix_memalign (see remarks in GCC
PR#87683 [5]). The runtimes checks to limit maximum requested allocation
size does applies to posix_memalign.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

[BZ #23741]
* malloc/hooks.c (malloc_check, realloc_check): Use
__builtin_add_overflow on overflow check and adapt to
checked_request2size change.
* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_malloc, __libc_realloc, _mid_memalign,
__libc_pvalloc, __libc_calloc, _int_memalign): Limit maximum
allocation size to PTRDIFF_MAX.
(REQUEST_OUT_OF_RANGE): Remove macro.
(checked_request2size): Change to inline function and limit maximum
requested size to PTRDIFF_MAX.
(__libc_malloc, __libc_realloc, _int_malloc, _int_memalign): Limit
maximum allocation size to PTRDIFF_MAX.
(_mid_memalign): Use _int_memalign call for overflow check.
(__libc_pvalloc): Use __builtin_add_overflow on overflow check.
(__libc_calloc): Use __builtin_mul_overflow for overflow check and
limit maximum requested size to PTRDIFF_MAX.
* malloc/malloc.h (malloc, calloc, realloc, reallocarray, memalign,
valloc, pvalloc): Add __attribute_alloc_size__.
* stdlib/stdlib.h (malloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc): Likewise.
* malloc/tst-malloc-too-large.c (do_test): Add check for allocation
larger than PTRDIFF_MAX.
* malloc/tst-memalign.c (do_test): Disable -Walloc-size-larger-than=
around tests of malloc with negative sizes.
* malloc/tst-posix_memalign.c (do_test): Likewise.
* malloc/tst-pvalloc.c (do_test): Likewise.
* malloc/tst-valloc.c (do_test): Likewise.
* malloc/tst-reallocarray.c (do_test): Replace call to reallocarray
with resulting size allocation larger than PTRDIFF_MAX with
reallocarray_nowarn.
(reallocarray_nowarn): New function.
* NEWS: Mention the malloc function semantic change.
When posix_memalign is called with an alignment less than MALLOC_ALIGNMENT
and a requested size close to SIZE_MAX, it falls back to malloc code
(because the alignment of a block returned by malloc is sufficient to
satisfy the call). In this case, an integer overflow in _int_malloc leads
to posix_memalign incorrectly returning successfully.
Upon fixing this and writing a somewhat thorough regression test, it was
discovered that when posix_memalign is called with an alignment larger than
MALLOC_ALIGNMENT (so it uses _int_memalign instead) and a requested size
close to SIZE_MAX, a different integer overflow in _int_memalign leads to
posix_memalign incorrectly returning successfully.
Both integer overflows affect other memory allocation functions that use
_int_malloc (one affected malloc in x86) or _int_memalign as well.
This commit fixes both integer overflows. In addition to this, it adds a
regression test to guard against false successful allocations by the
following memory allocation functions when called with too-large allocation
sizes and, where relevant, various valid alignments:
malloc, realloc, calloc, reallocarray, memalign, posix_memalign,
aligned_alloc, valloc, and pvalloc.
