commit2bac084468upstream. Work for __counted_by on generic pointers in structures (not just flexible array members) has started landing in Clang 19 (current tip of tree). During the development of this feature, a restriction was added to __counted_by to prevent the flexible array member's element type from including a flexible array member itself such as: struct foo { int count; char buf[]; }; struct bar { int count; struct foo data[] __counted_by(count); }; because the size of data cannot be calculated with the standard array size formula: sizeof(struct foo) * count This restriction was downgraded to a warning but due to CONFIG_WERROR, it can still break the build. The application of __counted_by on the states member of 'struct _StateArray' triggers this restriction, resulting in: drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/pptable.h:442:5: error: 'counted_by' should not be applied to an array with element of unknown size because 'ATOM_PPLIB_STATE_V2' (aka 'struct _ATOM_PPLIB_STATE_V2') is a struct type with a flexible array member. This will be an error in a future compiler version [-Werror,-Wbounds-safety-counted-by-elt-type-unknown-size] 442 | ATOM_PPLIB_STATE_V2 states[] __counted_by(ucNumEntries); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated. Remove this use of __counted_by to fix the warning/error. However, rather than remove it altogether, leave it commented, as it may be possible to support this in future compiler releases.

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.
