The call to kmalloc_obj(observed.lines) returns "char (*)[3][512]",
a pointer to the whole 2D array. But "expect" wants to be "char (*)[512]",
the decayed pointer type, as if it were observed.lines itself (though
without the "3" bounds). This produces the following build error:
../kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c: In function '__report_matches':
../kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:171:16: error: assignment to 'char (*)[512]' from incompatible pointer type 'char (*)[3][512]'
[-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
171 | expect = kmalloc_obj(observed.lines);
| ^
Instead of changing the "expect" type to "char (*)[3][512]" and
requiring a dereference at each use (e.g. "(expect*)[0]"), just
explicitly cast the return to the desired type.
Note that I'm intentionally not switching back to byte-based "kmalloc"
here because I cannot find a way for the Coccinelle script (which will
be used going forward to catch future conversions) to exclude this case.
Tested with:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
--kconfig_add CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y \
--kconfig_add CONFIG_KCSAN=y \
--kconfig_add CONFIG_KCSAN_KUNIT_TEST=y \
--arch=x86_64 --qemu_args '-smp 2' kcsan
