After an innocuous optimization change in LLVM main (19.0.0), x86_64 allmodconfig (which enables CONFIG_KCSAN / -fsanitize=thread) fails to build due to the checks in check_copy_size():

The same exact error occurs in l2cap_sock.c. The copy_to_user() statements that are failing come from l2cap_sock_getsockopt_old() and sco_sock_getsockopt_old(). This does not occur with GCC with or without KCSAN or Clang without KCSAN enabled.
len is defined as an 'int' because it is assigned from '__user int *optlen'. However, it is clamped against the result of sizeof(), which has a type of 'size_t' ('unsigned long' for 64-bit platforms). This is done with min_t() because min() requires compatible types, which results in both len and the result of sizeof() being casted to 'unsigned int', meaning len changes signs and the result of sizeof() is truncated. From there, len is passed to copy_to_user(), which has a third parameter type of 'unsigned long', so it is widened and changes signs again. This excessive casting in combination with the KCSAN instrumentation causes LLVM to fail to eliminate the __bad_copy_from() call, failing the build.
The official recommendation from LLVM developers is to consistently use long types for all size variables to avoid the unnecessary casting in the first place. Change the type of len to size_t in both l2cap_sock_getsockopt_old() and sco_sock_getsockopt_old(). This clears up the error while allowing min_t() to be replaced with min(), resulting in simpler code with no casts and fewer implicit conversions. While len is a different type than optlen now, it should result in no functional change because the result of sizeof() will clamp all values of optlen in the same manner as before.
