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 gvt_firmware_header and refactor the
rest of the code accordingly.
Additionally, previous implementation was allocating 8 bytes more than
required to represent firmware_header + cfg_space data + mmio data.
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].
To make reviewing this patch easier, I'm pasting before/after struct
sizes.
pahole -C gvt_firmware_header before/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/firmware.o
struct gvt_firmware_header {
u64 magic; /* 0 8 */
u32 crc32; /* 8 4 */
u32 version; /* 12 4 */
u64 cfg_space_size; /* 16 8 */
u64 cfg_space_offset; /* 24 8 */
u64 mmio_size; /* 32 8 */
u64 mmio_offset; /* 40 8 */
unsigned char data[1]; /* 48 1 */
/* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */
/* padding: 7 */
/* last cacheline: 56 bytes */
};
pahole -C gvt_firmware_header after/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/firmware.o
struct gvt_firmware_header {
u64 magic; /* 0 8 */
u32 crc32; /* 8 4 */
u32 version; /* 12 4 */
u64 cfg_space_size; /* 16 8 */
u64 cfg_space_offset; /* 24 8 */
u64 mmio_size; /* 32 8 */
u64 mmio_offset; /* 40 8 */
unsigned char data[]; /* 48 0 */
/* size: 48, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */
};
As you can see the additional byte of the fake-flexible array (data[1])
forced the compiler to pad the struct but those bytes aren't actually used
as first & last bytes (of both cfg_space and mmio) are controlled by the
<>_size and <>_offset members present in the gvt_firmware_header struct.
