Subject: [PATCH] gcc-plugins: randstruct: Only warn about true flexible arrays
Date: Sat,  4 Nov 2023 13:43:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231104204334.work.160-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

The randstruct GCC plugin tried to discover "fake" flexible arrays
to issue warnings about them in randomized structs. In the future
LSM overhead reduction series, it would be legal to have a randomized
struct with a 1-element array, and this should _not_ be treated as a
flexible array, especially since commit df8fc4e934c1 ("kbuild: Enable
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3"). Disable the 0-sized and 1-element array
discovery logic in the plugin, but keep the "true" flexible array check.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202311021532.iBwuZUZ0-lkp@intel.com/
Fixes: df8fc4e934c1 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3")
