Since the destination variable of the check_*_overflow() helpers will
contain a wrapped value on failure, it would be best to make sure callers
really did check the return result of the helper. Adjust the macros to use
a bool-wrapping static inline that is marked with __must_check. This means
the macros can continue to have their type-agnostic behavior while gaining
the function attribute (that cannot be applied directly to macros).

Sorry, I meant to send this before your cooking was done but forgot
about it again. Not a big deal, but it occurred to me it might be better
to rename the existing check_*_overflow to __check_*_overflow (in both
branches of the COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW), and then

#define check_*_overflow(a, b, d)
__must_check_bool(__check_*_overflow(a, b, d))

Mostly because it gives less whitespace churn, but it might also be
handy to have the dunder versions available (if nothing else then
perhaps in some test code).

But as I said, no biggie, I'm fine either way. Now I'm just curious if
0-day is going to find some warning introduced by this :)

I'm fine with the concept, but this is a weirdly-generically-named
function that has a very specific unlikely() in it.  So I'd call
this __must_check_overflow() and then it's obvious that overflow is
unlikely(), whereas it's not obvious that __must_check_bool() is going
to be unlikely().

Incidentally, __must_check_overflow was what was actually Suggested-by
me - though I didn't think too hard about that name, I certainly agree
with your reasoning.

I still don't know if (un)likely annotations actually matter when used
this way, but at least the same pattern is used in kernel/sched/, so
probably.

This and the __must_check-bool() renaming now done and sent in v2.
Thanks!

At the end of the day, I'd rather not have a way to ignore the overflow
in this way -- I'd rather have a set of wrap_mul_overflow() helpers
instead. Then we've got proper annotation of the expectation (and a
place for function attributes to be added to tell sanitizers to ignore
overflow).
