Enabling DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS causes the following warning:

In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:573,
                 from kernel/kprobes.c:55:
In function 'copy_from_user',

warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared with

correct

presumably due to buf_size being signed causing GCC to fail to see that
buf_size can't become negative.
