Kees Cook 4b21d25bf5 overflow: Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type()
Implement a robust overflows_type() macro to test if a variable or
constant value would overflow another variable or type. This can be
used as a constant expression for static_assert() (which requires a
constant expression[1][2]) when used on constant values. This must be
constructed manually, since __builtin_add_overflow() does not produce
a constant expression[3].

Additionally adds castable_to_type(), similar to __same_type(), but for
checking if a constant value would overflow if cast to a given type.

Add unit tests for overflows_type(), __same_type(), and castable_to_type()
to the existing KUnit "overflow" test:

README

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.
