In preparation for replacing __builtin_object_size() with __builtin_dynamic_object_size(), all the compile-time size checks need to check that the bounds comparisons are, in fact, known at compile-time. Enforce what was guaranteed with __bos(). In other words, since all uses of __bos() were constant expressions, it was not required to test for this. When these change to __bdos(), they _may_ be constant expressions, and the checks are only valid when the prior condition holds. This results in no binary differences.

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.
