malloc: make malloc fail with requests larger than PTRDIFF_MAX (BZ#23741)
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.

(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.
