    tracing: Silence GCC 9 array bounds warning · 0c97bf86
    Miguel Ojeda authored
    Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
    starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
    writing over further members.
    
    Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
    after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:
    
        In function 'memset',
            inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
        ./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset
        [8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of
        referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
        4368 [-Warray-bounds]
          344 |  return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
              |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
    ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
    directly to the member.
    
    Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
    take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
    the internal header.
