Since 113a61863ecb ("Makefile: Enable -Wstringop-overflow globally") string overflow checking is enabled by default. Unfortunately the compiler still isn't smart enough to always see that the size will never overflow. Specifically, in stackdepot, we have this before memcpy()'ing a stacktrace: if (nr_entries > CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_MAX_FRAMES) nr_entries = CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_MAX_FRAMES; ... memcpy(stack->entries, entries, flex_array_size(stack, entries, nr_entries)); Where 'entries' is an array of unsigned long, and STACKDEPOT_MAX_FRAMES is 64 by default (configurable up to 256), thus the maximum size in bytes (on 32-bit) would be 1024. For some reason the compiler (GCC 13.2.0) assumes that an overflow may be possible and flex_array_size() can return SIZE_MAX (4294967295 on 32-bit), resulting in this warning: In function 'depot_alloc_stack', inlined from 'stack_depot_save_flags' at lib/stackdepot.c:688:4: arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:150:25: error: '__builtin_memcpy' specified bound 4294967295 exceeds maximum object size 2147483647 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] 150 | #define memcpy(t, f, n) __builtin_memcpy(t, f, n) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lib/stackdepot.c:459:9: note: in expansion of macro 'memcpy' 459 | memcpy(stack->entries, entries, flex_array_size(stack, entries, nr_entries)); | ^~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Silence the false positive warning by inlining the multiplication ourselves.
