commit 68920c973254c5b71a684645c5f6f82d6732c5d6 upstream.
With upcoming CONFIG_UBSAN the following BUILD_BUG_ON in
net/mac80211/debugfs.c starts to trigger:
BUILD_BUG_ON(hw_flag_names[NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS] != (void *)0x1);
It seems, that compiler instrumentation causes some code
deoptimizations. Because of that GCC is not being able to resolve
condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() at compile time.
We could make size of hw_flag_names array unspecified and replace the
condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() with following:
ARRAY_SIZE(hw_flag_names) != NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS
That will have the same effect as before (adding new flag without
updating array will trigger build failure) except it doesn't fail with
CONFIG_UBSAN. As a bonus this patch slightly decreases size of
hw_flag_names array.

Hi,
The only stable tree which is missing this fix is 4.4. 4.1 doesn't
have 30686bf7f5b3 ("mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long
bitmap") which makes gcc unhappy with allmodconfig. 4.9 contains the
fix.
Thanks,
Daniel
