gcc-11 warns about what appears to be an out-of-range array access but stop the build due to -Werror added to cflags: arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c: In function 'mdesc_node_by_name': arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:647:22: error: 'strcmp' reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 647 | if (!strcmp(names + ep[ret].name_offset, name)) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:77:33: note: at offset 16 into source object 'mdesc' of size 16 77 | struct mdesc_hdr mdesc; | ^~~~~ arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c: In function 'mdesc_get_property': arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:692:22: error: 'strcmp' reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 692 | if (!strcmp(names + ep->name_offset, name)) { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:77:33: note: at offset 16 into source object 'mdesc' of size 16 77 | struct mdesc_hdr mdesc; | ^~~~~ arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c: In function 'mdesc_next_arc': arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:719:21: error: 'strcmp' reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 719 | if (strcmp(names + ep->name_offset, arc_type)) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:77:33: note: at offset 16 into source object 'mdesc' of size 16 77 | struct mdesc_hdr mdesc; | ^~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors The issue was initially reported to gcc [1] where it was analized. As suggested, change the struct mdesc_elem * accesses from the end of mdesc to those from the beginning of the data array. Update the prototype of node_block(), name_block() and data_block() since the code really seems to want to do is to compute the address somewhere into the chunk pointed to by hp.
