Use offsetof to calculate offset of a field to avoid UBSAN warning like:

Could you be more specific about what exactly is undefined here and
why offsetof is any better. AFAIR it uses the same construct unless a
compiler defines a built in.

I do not object the change itself because it is cleaner to use the
existing helper but I am wondering why this is fixing ubsan. Is ubsan
defining the compiler variant and consider it safe?

The undefined behavior is from trying to accessing a member of NULL,
even not using it value but only use the address.

Since the compiler variant for offsetof is used for recent compiler
(GCC >= 4 has support for it), ubsan would not warn if the compiler
variant is used. For old compiler, I guess ubsan would complain on all
offsetof uses.

Hmm, we've been using this trick for ages and I do not remember any
compiler to complain as there is no real access. I am not sure what the
C standard has to tell about that but I presume reasonable compilers
will not abuse the UB here.

Is this the case for all compilers? If yes then we might want to drop
the non-compiler part. Btw. 
$ git grep "#define offsetof"
drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/mkregtable.c:#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_cmd.c:#define offsetof_after(_struct, _member)                                       \
include/linux/stddef.h:#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER)   __compiler_offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER)
include/linux/stddef.h:#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER)   ((size_t)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
include/linux/stddef.h:#define offsetofend(TYPE, MEMBER) \
samples/bpf/cookie_uid_helper_example.c:#define offsetof(type, member)  __builtin_offsetof(type, member)
scripts/kconfig/list.h:#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
tools/include/linux/kernel.h:#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_select_reuseport_kern.c:#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
tools/usb/usbip/libsrc/list.h:#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)

so there is much more to take care of. Not to mention any open coded
variants.

Some more testing shows that GCC optimize the
((size_t)&((type*)0)->member) to a constant in the result binary, and
never emit any UBSAN checks on the statement.
Clang doesn't optimize it to a constant in -O0, optimize it to a
constant in -O1 or above, and always emit the
__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch check when "-fsanitize=undefined" is
given.
So this UBSAN warning only happens when kernel is compiled by clang, not GCC.

From what I've found, it's a UB from C standard view point
(https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2015/04/20/null-pointer-dereferencing-causes-undefined-behavior),
but I agree that probably no reasonable compilers would abuse the UB
here.

Did a "git grep '(0|NULL)\)->'" and there are about 25 of them that
can be changed to use offsetof.

I really do not want to go and lawyering about the standard here but
getting an address of an offset based on NULL ptr is not really
dereferencing of a NULL ptr. At least this was not the case for ages
and no compiler can afford to change it because there is quite a lot of
userspace to rely on this construct.

But as I've said using offseoff is nicer so I completely support a patch
that get's read of a custom redefinition of it or open code directly.
But calling it an UB is a bit of stretch.

* [PATCH v2] mm/swap: Use offsetof instead of custom __swapoffset macro.

Use offsetof to calculate offset of a field to take advantage of
compiler built-in version when possible, and avoid UBSAN warning when
compiling with Clang:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/swapfile.c:3010:38
member access within null pointer of type 'union swap_header'
CPU: 6 PID: 1833 Comm: swapon Tainted: G S                4.19.23 #43

Yes this makes more sense. I still think the warning is bogus but
whatever. A cleanup is worth it.
