After an innocuous optimization change in LLVM main (19.0.0), x86_64
allmodconfig (which enables CONFIG_KCSAN / -fsanitize=thread) fails to
build due to the checks in check_copy_size():

include/linux/thread_info.h:244:4: error: call to '__bad_copy_from'
declared with 'error' attribute: copy source size is too small
244 | __bad_copy_from();
| ^
The same exact error occurs in l2cap_sock.c. The copy_to_user()
statements that are failing come from l2cap_sock_getsockopt_old() and
sco_sock_getsockopt_old(). This does not occur with GCC with or without
KCSAN or Clang without KCSAN enabled.
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 official recommendation from LLVM developers is to consistently use
long types for all size variables to avoid the unnecessary casting in
the first place. Change the type of len to size_t in both
l2cap_sock_getsockopt_old() and sco_sock_getsockopt_old(). This clears
up the error while allowing min_t() to be replaced with min(), resulting
in simpler code with no casts and fewer implicit conversions. While len
is a different type than optlen now, it should result in no functional
change because the result of sizeof() will clamp all values of optlen in
the same manner as before.

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.
