In order to gain the bounds-checking coverage that __counted_by provides
to flexible-array members at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array
indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions),
we must make sure that the counter member, in this particular case `num`,
is updated before the first access to the flex-array member, in this
particular case array `hws`. See below:
commit f316cdff8d ("clk: Annotate struct clk_hw_onecell_data with
__counted_by") introduced `__counted_by` for `struct clk_hw_onecell_data`
together with changes to relocate some of assignments of counter `num`
before `hws` is accessed:
include/linux/clk-provider.h:
1380 struct clk_hw_onecell_data {
1381 unsigned int num;
1382 struct clk_hw *hws[] __counted_by(num);
1383 };
However, this structure is used as a member in other structs, in this
case in `struct visconti_pll_provider`:
drivers/clk/visconti/pll.h:
16 struct visconti_pll_provider {
17 void __iomem *reg_base;
18 struct device_node *node;
19
20 /* Must be last */
21 struct clk_hw_onecell_data clk_data;
22 };
Hence, we need to move the assignments to `ctx->clk_data.num` after
allocation for `struct visconti_pll_provider` and before accessing the
flexible array `ctx->clk_data.hws`. And, as assignments for all members
in `struct visconti_pll_provider` are originally adjacent to each other,
relocate all assignments together, so we don't split up
`ctx->clk_data.hws = nr_plls` from the rest. :)

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.
