      greybus: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array · 84c1e51d
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
      extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
      variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
      introduced in C99:
      
      struct foo {
              int stuff;
              struct boo array[];
      };
      
      By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
      in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
      will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
      inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
      
      Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
      this change:
      
      "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
      may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
      zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
      
      sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
      members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
      which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
      zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
      some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
      help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
      
      This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A set of fixes for x86:
      
         - Ensure that direct mapping alias is always flushed when changing
           page attributes. The optimization for small ranges failed to do so
           when the virtual address was in the vmalloc or module space.
      
         - Unbreak the trace event registration for syscalls without arguments
           caused by the refactoring of the SYSCALL_DEFINE0() macro.
      
         - Move the printk in the TSC deadline timer code to a place where it
           is guaranteed to only be called once during boot and cannot be
           rearmed by clearing warn_once after boot. If it's invoked post boot
           then lockdep rightfully complains about a potential deadlock as the
           calling context is different.
      
         - A series of fixes for objtool and the ORC unwinder addressing
           variety of small issues:
      
             - Stack offset tracking for indirect CFAs in objtool ignored
               subsequent pushs and pops
      
             - Repair the unwind hints in the register clearing entry ASM code
      
             - Make the unwinding in the low level exit to usermode code stop
               after switching to the trampoline stack. The unwind hint is no
               longer valid and the ORC unwinder emits a warning as it can't
               find the registers anymore.
      
             - Fix unwind hints in switch_to_asm() and rewind_stack_do_exit()
               which caused objtool to generate bogus ORC data.
      
             - Prevent unwinder warnings when dumping the stack of a
               non-current task as there is no way to be sure about the
               validity because the dumped stack can be a moving target.
      
             - Make the ORC unwinder behave the same way as the frame pointer
               unwinder when dumping an inactive tasks stack and do not skip
               the first frame.
      
             - Prevent ORC unwinding before ORC data has been initialized
      
             - Immediately terminate unwinding when a unknown ORC entry type
               is found.
      
             - Prevent premature stop of the unwinder caused by IRET frames.
      
             - Fix another infinite loop in objtool caused by a negative
               offset which was not catched.
      
             - Address a few build warnings in the ORC unwinder and add
               missing static/ro_after_init annotations"
