As we continue to narrow the scope of what the FORTIFY memcpy() will accept and build alternative APIs that give the compiler appropriate visibility into more complex memcpy scenarios, there is a need for "unfortified" memcpy use in rare cases where combinations of compiler behaviors, source code layout, etc, result in cases where the stricter memcpy checks need to be bypassed until appropriate solutions can be developed (i.e. fix compiler bugs, code refactoring, new API, etc). The intention is for this to be used only if there's no other reasonable solution, for its use to include a justification that can be used to assess future solutions, and for it to be temporary. Example usage included, based on analysis and discussion from: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CANn89iLS_2cshtuXPyNUGDPaic=sJiYfvTb_wNLgWrZRyBxZ_g@mail.gmail.com Cc: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: "David S.
