Looks like this was "'__builtin_memcpy' offset [0, 127] is out of the bounds
[0, 0]" before.
Thanks for reporting. Of course this doesn't happen with gcc-12, and
this code will be rewritten with the next merge window anyway.
But to workaround this with gcc-11, we could go with the below:
This is because of
#define S390_lowcore (*((struct lowcore *) 0))
and is fixed with something like
#define S390_lowcore (*((struct lowcore *) absolute_pointer(0)))
See commit f6b5f1a56987 ("compiler.h: Introduce absolute_pointer macro").
Yes, I'm aware of that. However absolute_pointer() is not an option for
S390_lowcore. See also commit f0be87c42cbd ("gcc-12: disable
'-Warray-bounds' universally for now") and the referenced s390 commit.
Interesting. It works (builds) just fine for me after the above suggested
change.

The problem is only seen with gcc 11.2. I don't see it with 11.3 or 12.2.
FWIW, the compile warning is seen with gcc 11.1 and 11.2, but not with any
other compiler. Given that this isn't the first report, I'm tempted to
workaround this now.
