[PATCH] bpf: Replace 0-length arrays with flexible arrays

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Jan 05 2023 - 14:32:36 EST


Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct bpf_array's
union of 0-length arrays with flexible arrays. (How are the
sizes of these arrays verified?) Detected with GCC 13, using
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c: In function 'bpf_tail_call_direct_fixup':
arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:606:37: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of 'void *[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
606 | target = array->ptrs[poke->tail_call.key];
| ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

include/linux/bpf.h:1527:23: note: while referencing 'ptrs'
1527 | void *ptrs[0] __aligned(8);
| ^~~~
