Subject: [PATCH RESEND] powerpc/rtas: Replace one-element array with flexible array member
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 12:30:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813103101.163698-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace the deprecated one-element array with a modern flexible array
member in the struct rtas_error_log and add the __counted_by_be()
compiler attribute to improve access bounds-checking via
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
