GCC 10.1 generates a warning in net/ip/csum.c about exceeding a buffer limit in a memcpy operation: ------------------ In function ‘memcpy’, inlined from ‘uip_csum_udp’ at net/uip/csum.c:58:3: /usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/bits/string_fortified.h:34:10: error: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] 34 | return __builtin___memcpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos0 (__dest)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from net/uip/csum.c:1: net/uip/csum.c: In function ‘uip_csum_udp’: include/kvm/uip.h:132:6: note: at offset 0 to object ‘sport’ with size 2 declared here 132 | u16 sport; ------------------ This warning originates from the code taking the address of the "sport" member, then using that with some pointer arithmetic in a memcpy call. GCC now sees that the object is only a u16, so copying 12 bytes into it cannot be any good. It's somewhat debatable whether this is a legitimate warning, as there is enough storage at that place, and we knowingly use the struct and its variabled-sized member at the end. However we can also rewrite the code, to not abuse the "&" operation of some *member*, but take the address of the struct itself. This makes the code less dodgy, and indeed appeases GCC 10.
