The compiler doesn't know that `32` is an offset into the Hash table: 56 struct Hash_ctx { 57 u8 H[16]; /* subkey */ 58 u8 Htable[256]; /* Xi, Hash table(offset 32) */ 59 }; So, it legitimately complains about a potential out-of-bounds issue if `256 bytes` are accessed in `htable` (this implies going `32 bytes` beyond the boundaries of `Htable`): arch/powerpc/crypto/aes-gcm-p10-glue.c: In function 'gcmp10_init': arch/powerpc/crypto/aes-gcm-p10-glue.c:120:9: error: 'gcm_init_htable' accessing 256 bytes in a region of size 224 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] 120 | gcm_init_htable(hash->Htable+32, hash->H); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ arch/powerpc/crypto/aes-gcm-p10-glue.c:120:9: note: referencing argument 1 of type 'unsigned char[256]' arch/powerpc/crypto/aes-gcm-p10-glue.c:120:9: note: referencing argument 2 of type 'unsigned char[16]' arch/powerpc/crypto/aes-gcm-p10-glue.c:40:17: note: in a call to function 'gcm_init_htable' 40 | asmlinkage void gcm_init_htable(unsigned char htable[256], unsigned char Xi[16]); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Address this by avoiding specifying the size of `htable` in the function prototype; and just for consistency, do the same for parameter `Xi`.
