You're not testing negative numbers, though. memmove() takes an unsigned
type, so you're testing a very large number.

Casting negative numbers to size_t would indeed turn up as a "large"
size_t and its value will be larger than ULONG_MAX/2. We mainly want to
express this case. Maybe we can add some descriptions. Thanks for your
reminder.

Test negative size in memmove in order to verify whether it correctly
get KASAN report.

Casting negative numbers to size_t would indeed turn up as a 'large'
size_t, so it will have out-of-bounds bug and detected by KASAN.

Changes in v2:
Add some descriptions for clarity the testcase.
