[PATCH] ASoC: Intel: Skylake: Replace 1-element array with flex-array

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Feb 10 2023 - 00:15:00 EST


The kernel is globally removing the ambiguous 0-length and 1-element
arrays in favor of flexible arrays, so that we can gain both compile-time
and run-time array bounds checking[1]. In this instance, struct
skl_cpr_cfg contains struct skl_cpr_gtw_cfg, which defined "config_data"
as a 1-element array.

Normally when switching from a 1-element array to a flex-array, any
related size calculations must be adjusted too. However, it seems the
original code was over-allocating space, since 1 extra u32 would be
included by the sizeof():

param_size = sizeof(struct skl_cpr_cfg);
param_size += mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps_size;

But the copy uses caps_size bytes, and cap_size / 4 (i.e. sizeof(u32))
for the length tracking:

memcpy(cpr_mconfig->gtw_cfg.config_data,
mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps,
mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps_size);

cpr_mconfig->gtw_cfg.config_length =
(mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps_size) / 4;

Therefore, no size calculations need adjusting. Change the struct
skl_cpr_gtw_cfg config_data member to be a true flexible array, which
also fixes the over-allocation, and silences this memcpy run-time false
positive:

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 100) of single field "cpr_mconfig->gtw_cfg.config_data" at sound/soc/intel/skylake/skl-messages.c:554 (size 4)
