ACPICA: Replace one-element array with flexible-array
ACPICA commit 7ba2f3d91a32f104765961fda0ed78b884ae193d The current codebase makes use of one-element arrays in the following form: struct something { int length; u8 data[1]; }; struct something *instance; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(*instance) + size, GFP_KERNEL); instance->length = size; memcpy(instance->data, source, size); but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the linux codebase from now on. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited _manually_.
