Linus Torvalds 2dc26d98cf overflow updates for v5.16-rc1
The end goal of the current buffer overflow detection work[0] is to gain
 full compile-time and run-time coverage of all detectable buffer overflows
 seen via array indexing or memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(). The str*()
 family of functions already have full coverage.
 
 While much of the work for these changes have been on-going for many
 releases (i.e. 0-element and 1-element array replacements, as well as
 avoiding false positives and fixing discovered overflows[1]), this series
 contains the foundational elements of several related buffer overflow
 detection improvements by providing new common helpers and FORTIFY_SOURCE
 changes needed to gain the introspection required for compiler visibility
 into array sizes. Also included are a handful of already Acked instances
 using the helpers (or related clean-ups), with many more waiting at the
 ready to be taken via subsystem-specific trees[2]. The new helpers are:
 
 - struct_group() for gaining struct member range introspection.
 - memset_after() and memset_startat() for clearing to the end of structures.
 - DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for using flex arrays in unions or alone in structs.
 
 Also included is the beginning of the refactoring of FORTIFY_SOURCE to
 support memcpy() introspection, fix missing and regressed coverage under
 GCC, and to prepare to fix the currently broken Clang support. Finishing
 this work is part of the larger series[0], but depends on all the false
 positives and buffer overflow bug fixes to have landed already and those
 that depend on this series to land.
 
 As part of the FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring, a set of both a compile-time
 and run-time tests are added for FORTIFY_SOURCE and the mem*()-family
 functions respectively. The compile time tests have found a legitimate
 (though corner-case) bug[6] already.
 
 Please note that the appearance of "panic" and "BUG" in the
 FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring are the result of relocating existing code,
 and no new use of those code-paths are expected nor desired.
 
 Finally, there are two tree-wide conversions for 0-element arrays and
 flexible array unions to gain sane compiler introspection coverage that
 result in no known object code differences.
 
 After this series (and the changes that have now landed via netdev
 and usb), we are very close to finally being able to build with
 -Warray-bounds and -Wzero-length-bounds. However, due corner cases in
 GCC[3] and Clang[4], I have not included the last two patches that turn
 on these options, as I don't want to introduce any known warnings to
 the build. Hopefully these can be solved soon.
