------------------------------------------------------ From: Yeoreum Yun yeoreum.yun@arm.com Subject: kunit: kasan_test: disable fortify string checker on kasan_strings() test Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2025 13:02:36 +0100

Similar to commit 09c6304e38e4 ("kasan: test: fix compatibility with FORTIFY_SOURCE") the kernel is panicing in kasan_string().

This is due to the `src` and `ptr` not being hidden from the optimizer which would disable the runtime fortify string checker.
