From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c834f0e8a8bb3025aac38e802fca2e686720f544 ] If a structure is marked with __attribute__((designated_init)) from GCC or Sparse, it needs to have all static initializers using designated initialization. Fail the build for any missing cases. This attribute will be used by the randstruct plugin to make sure randomized structures are being correctly initialized.
