From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e3128a9d482cff9cc2a826adec5e1f7acb922b8f upstream. In builds with -Warray-bounds, casts from smaller objects to larger objects will produce warnings. These can be overly conservative, but since -Warray-bounds has been finding legitimate bugs, it is desirable to turn it on globally. Instead of casting a u32 to a larger object, redefine the u32 portion of the header to a separate struct that can be used for both u32 operations and the distinct header fields. Silences this warning: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/htc_mbox.c: In function 'htc_wait_for_ctrl_msg': drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/htc_mbox.c:2275:20: error: array subscript 'struct htc_frame_hdr[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'u32[1]' {aka 'unsigned int[1]'} [-Werror=array-bounds] 2275 | if (htc_hdr->eid != ENDPOINT_0) | ^~ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/htc_mbox.c:2264:13: note: while referencing 'look_ahead' 2264 | u32 look_ahead; | ^~~~~~~~~~ This change results in no executable instruction differences.
