[PATCH] firmware: coreboot: Check size of table entry and split memcpy

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Jan 05 2023 - 23:54:15 EST


The memcpy() of the data following a coreboot_table_entry couldn't be
evaluated by the compiler under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. To make it easier
to reason about, add an explicit flexible array member to struct
coreboot_table_entry, and validate the sizes before copying. Avoids this
run-time false positive warning:

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 168) of single field "&device->entry" at drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.c:103 (size 8)
