To work around a misbehavior of the compiler's ability to see into composite flexible array structs (as detailed in the coming memcpy() hardening series[1]), use unsafe_memcpy(), as the sizing, bounds-checking, and allocation are all very tightly coupled here. This silences the false-positive reported by syzbot: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 80) of single field "&n->sel" at net/sched/cls_u32.c:1043 (size 16) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hardening/20220901065914.1417829-2-keescook@chromium.org Cc: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Reported-by: syzbot+a2c4601efc75848ba321@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/000000000000a96c0b05e97f0444@google.com/ Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220927153700.3071688-1-keescook@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@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.
