Subject: cpufreq: brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: Fix -Warray-bounds bug
From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavoars@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e520d0b6be950ce3738cf4b9bd3b392be818f1dc upstream.
Allocate extra space for terminating element at:
drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:
449 table[i].frequency = CPUFREQ_TABLE_END;
and add code comment to make this clear.
This fixes the following -Warray-bounds warning seen after building
ARM with multi_v7_defconfig (GCC 13):
In function 'brcm_avs_get_freq_table',
inlined from 'brcm_avs_cpufreq_init' at drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:623:15:
drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:449:28: warning: array subscript 5 is outside array bounds of 'void[60]' [-Warray-bounds=]
449 | table[i].frequency = CPUFREQ_TABLE_END;
In file included from include/linux/node.h:18,
from include/linux/cpu.h:17,
from include/linux/cpufreq.h:12,
from drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:44:
In function 'devm_kmalloc_array',
inlined from 'devm_kcalloc' at include/linux/device.h:328:9,
inlined from 'brcm_avs_get_freq_table' at drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:437:10,
inlined from 'brcm_avs_cpufreq_init' at drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:623:15:
include/linux/device.h:323:16: note: at offset 60 into object of size 60 allocated by 'devm_kmalloc'
323 | return devm_kmalloc(dev, bytes, flags);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -Warray-bounds.
