[PATCH 05/15] bpf: avoid gcc-10 stringop-overflow warning
From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Thu Apr 30 2020 - 17:32:55 EST
gcc-10 warns about accesses to zero-length arrays:
kernel/bpf/core.c: In function 'bpf_patch_insn_single':
cc1: warning: writing 8 bytes into a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
In file included from kernel/bpf/core.c:21:
include/linux/filter.h:550:20: note: at offset 0 to object 'insnsi' with size 0 declared here
550 | struct bpf_insn insnsi[0];
| ^~~~~~
In this case, we really want to have two flexible-array members,
but that is not possible. Removing the union to make insnsi a
flexible-array member while leaving insns as a zero-length array
fixes the warning, as nothing writes to the other one in that way.
This trick only works on linux-3.18 or higher, as older versions
had additional members in the union.
Fixes: 60a3b2253c41 ("net: bpf: make eBPF interpreter images read-only")
