kunit_driver_create() accepts a name for the driver, but does not copy
it, so if that name is either on the stack, or otherwise freed, we end
up with a use-after-free when the driver is cleaned up.
Instead, strdup() the name, and manage it as another KUnit allocation.
As there was no existing kunit_kstrdup(), we add one. Further, add a
kunit_ variant of strdup_const() and kfree_const(), so we don't need to
allocate and manage the string in the majority of cases where it's a
constant.
However, these are inline functions, and is_kernel_rodata() only works
for built-in code. This causes problems in two cases:
- If kunit is built as a module, __{start,end}_rodata is not defined.
- If a kunit test using these functions is built as a module, it will
suffer the same fate.
This fixes a KASAN splat with overflow.overflow_allocation_test, when
built as a module.
Restrict the is_kernel_rodata() case to when KUnit is built as a module,
which fixes the first case, at the cost of losing the optimisation.
Also, make kunit_{kstrdup,kfree}_const non-inline, so that other modules
using them will not accidentally depend on is_kernel_rodata(). If KUnit
is built-in, they'll benefit from the optimisation, if KUnit is not,
they won't, but the string will be properly duplicated.

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.
