[PATCH] [next] drm/amdgpu: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

[PATCH] [next] drm/amdgpu: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

[Paulo Miguel Almeida]

One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with
flexible array members instead. So, replace one-element array with
flexible-array member in struct _ATOM_FAKE_EDID_PATCH_RECORD 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].

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. We had multiple attempts to refactor 
this now and it always caused a regression.

Additional to that the header in question came from our BIOS team and 
isn't following Linux styles in general.

Alex what do you think?

Christian.

Fake flexible arrays (i.e. 1-element arrays) are deprecated in Linux[1]
(and, frankly, deprecated in C since 1999 and even well before then given
the 0-sized extension that was added in GCC), so we can't continue to
bring them into kernel sources. Their use breaks both compile-time and
run-time bounds checking efforts, etc.

All that said, converting away from them can be tricky, and I think such
conversions need to explicitly show how they were checked for binary
differences[2].

Paulo, can you please check for deltas and report your findings in the
commit log? Note that add struct_size() use in the same patch may result
in binary differences, so for more complex cases, you may want to split
the 1-element conversion from the struct_size() conversions.

I'm perfectly aware of that. The issue is that we have tried to fix this 
multiple times now and reverted back to the original behavior because 
some user with a 10-15 year old hardware complained that it broke his 
system.

We can't really test every hw generation of the last 15 years for 
regressions.

Oh, that's a great idea! Yes, if this can be guaranteed then the change 
is obviously perfectly ok.

I'm perfectly aware of that. The issue is that we have tried to fix this 
multiple times now and reverted back to the original behavior because 
some user with a 10-15 year old hardware complained that it broke his 
system.

We can't really test every hw generation of the last 15 years for 
regressions.

Oh, that's a great idea! Yes, if this can be guaranteed then the change 
is obviously perfectly ok.

Thanks,
Christian.

Noted. I will reporting my findings on commit logs from now onwards. 

Given that I split the if-ternary to avoid checking "fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength"
twice then (for the current patch), yes, there will be changes to *.o|ko files.

Knowing that Christian would feel more confident with no binary changes
at this point, I will send a different patch aiming solely on the
replacement of 1-elem array without incurring binary changes.

[PATCH v2] [next] drm/amdgpu: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

[Paulo Miguel Almeida]

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

Important to mention is that doing a build before/after this patch
results in no binary output differences.

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].
