In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.
Split the 3 addr memcpy() into 3 memcpy() calls so the compiler doesn't
think an overflowing memcpy() happens against the addr1 field (the
neighbors are intended to be copied as well).
ieee80211_read_qos_param_element() copies a struct ieee80211_info_element
into a struct ieee80211_qos_information_element, but is actually wanting to
copy into the larger struct ieee80211_qos_parameter_info (the contents of
ac_params_record[] is later examined). Refactor the routine to perform
centralized checks, and copy the entire contents directly (since the id
and len members match the elementID and length members):
struct ieee80211_info_element {
u8 id;
u8 len;
u8 data[];
} __packed;
struct ieee80211_qos_information_element {
u8 elementID;
u8 length;
u8 qui[QOS_OUI_LEN];
u8 qui_type;
u8 qui_subtype;
u8 version;
u8 ac_info;
} __packed;
struct ieee80211_qos_parameter_info {
struct ieee80211_qos_information_element info_element;
u8 reserved;
struct ieee80211_qos_ac_parameter ac_params_record[QOS_QUEUE_NUM];
} __packed;
Additionally replace old-style zero-element arrays with flexible arrays.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
