Subject: [PATCH] binfmt_elf: dynamically allocate note.data in parse_elf_properties
Date: Wed,  7 Jun 2023 16:42:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230607144227.8956-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com> (raw)

Dynamically allocate note.data in parse_elf_properties to fix
compilation warning on some arch.

On some arch note.data exceed the stack limit for a single function and
this cause the following compilation warning:
fs/binfmt_elf.c: In function 'parse_elf_properties.isra':
fs/binfmt_elf.c:821:1: error: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
  821 | }
      | ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Fix this by dynamically allocating the array.
Update the sizeof of the union to the biggest element allocated.

Fixes: 00e19ceec80b ("ELF: Add ELF program property parsing support")
