+Subject: [PATCH] malloc: Check for excessive values to malloc
+
+with whole program optimizers like lto smalloc()
+is inlined the excessive constant argument is propagated to
+malloc() and ultimately triggers the warning.
+
+malloc.c:15:9: error: argument 1 range [18446744065119617024, 18446744073709551580] exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Werror=alloc-size-larger-than=]
+
+therefore add a check before excessive constant argument before calling
+malloc
+
+Note that this will not happen with normal compile since they happen to
+be in different translation units and compiler can not semantically
+analyze as much
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
+
