From 2963795122f50b36ed16e3ba880c3ed2de1bda6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Wed, 27 May 2020 12:14:25 -0500 Subject: efi: Replace zero-length array and use struct_size() helper 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. Lastly, make use of the sizeof_field() helper instead of an open-coded version. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited _manually_.
