From 4a0772cf0674346f3c1ff1043e440523b7e3131b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 12:40:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Prevent further users of zero size static arrays in trace events A zero size static array has special meaning in the ftrace infrastructure. Trace events are for recording data in the trace buffers that is normally difficult to obtain via probes or function tracing. There is no reason for any trace event to declare a zero size static array. If one does, BUILD_BUG_ON() will trigger and prevent the kernel from compiling.
