[PATCH][next] media: venus: hfi_cmds: Replace fake flex-array with flexible-array member

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Tue May 16 2023 - 21:02:59 EST


One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element arrays with flexible-array
members in struct hfi_sys_set_resource_pkt, and refactor the rest of
the code, accordingly.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

The only binary differences seen before/after changes are the
following:

17ba: mov %rbx,%rdi
17bd: call 17c2 <pkt_sys_set_resource+0x42>
17be: R_X86_64_PLT32 __tsan_write4-0x4
- 17c2: movl $0x14,(%rbx)
+ 17c2: movl $0x10,(%rbx)
17c8: lea 0x4(%rbx),%rdi
17cc: call 17d1 <pkt_sys_set_resource+0x51>
17cd: R_X86_64_PLT32 __tsan_write4-0x4

which is expected once this accounts for the following line of code
at drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_cmds.c:73

73 pkt->hdr.size = sizeof(*pkt);

and as *pkt is of type struct hfi_sys_set_resource_pkt, sizeof(*pkt) is
reduced by 4 bytes, due to the flex-array transformation.
