The memcpy() of the data following a coreboot_table_entry couldn't be evaluated by the compiler under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. To make it easier to reason about, add an explicit flexible array member to struct coreboot_device so the entire entry can be copied at once. Additionally, validate the sizes before copying. Avoids this run-time false positive warning: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 168) of single field "&device->entry" at drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.c:103 (size 8) Reported-by: Paul Menzel <pmenzel@molgen.mpg.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/03ae2704-8c30-f9f0-215b-7cdf4ad35a9a@molgen.mpg.de/ Cc: Jack Rosenthal <jrosenth@chromium.org> Cc: Guenter Roeck <groeck@chromium.org> Cc: Julius Werner <jwerner@chromium.org> Cc: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> Cc: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@chromium.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Julius Werner <jwerner@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <groeck@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230107031406.gonna.761-kees@kernel.org Reviewed-by: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Jack Rosenthal <jrosenth@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230112230312.give.446-kees@kernel.org
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.
