Subject: [PATCH][next] xen: privcmd: Replace zero-length array with flex-array member and use __counted_by
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2023 12:54:59 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZVZlg3tPMPCRdteh@work> (raw)
Fake flexible arrays (zero-length and one-element arrays) are deprecated,
and should be replaced by flexible-array members. So, replace
zero-length array with a flexible-array member in `struct
privcmd_kernel_ioreq`.
Also annotate array `ports` with `__counted_by()` to prepare for the
coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the `__counted_by` attribute.
Flexible array members annotated with `__counted_by` can have their
accesses bounds-checked at run-time via `CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS` (for array
indexing) and `CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE` (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions).
This fixes multiple -Warray-bounds warnings:
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1239:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1240:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1241:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1245:33: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1258:67: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
This results in no differences in binary output.
