Merge tag 'hardening-v6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "One notable addition is the creation of the 'transitional' keyword for
  kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly.

  This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of
  CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI
  support), this came up again.

  The breadth of the diffstat is mainly this renaming.

   - Clean up usage of TRAILING_OVERLAP() (Gustavo A. R. Silva)

   - lkdtm: fortify: Fix potential NULL dereference on kmalloc failure
     (Junjie Cao)

   - Add str_assert_deassert() helper (Lad Prabhakar)

   - gcc-plugins: Remove TODO_verify_il for GCC >= 16

   - kconfig: Fix BrokenPipeError warnings in selftests

   - kconfig: Add transitional symbol attribute for migration support

   - kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI"
