Arnd Bergmann efe967cdec tcp: avoid bogus gcc-7 array-bounds warning
When using CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, the TCP code produces a
false-positive warning:

net/ipv4/tcp_output.c: In function 'tcp_connect':
net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
   tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start;
                                        ^~
net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
   tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start;
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have opened a gcc bug for this, but distros have already shipped
compilers with this problem, and it's not clear yet whether there is
a way for gcc to avoid the warning. As the problem is related to the
bitfield access, this introduces a temporary variable to store the old
enum value.

I did not notice this warning earlier, since UBSAN is disabled when
building with COMPILE_TEST, and that was always turned on in both
allmodconfig and randconfig tests.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
