From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 08ae3e5f5fc8edb9bd0c7ef9696ff29ef18b26ef ] Commit 38aa3f5ac6d2 ("integrity: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings") introduced tagged `struct evm_ima_xattr_data_hdr` and `struct ima_digest_data_hdr`. We want to ensure that when new members need to be added to the flexible structures, they are always included within these tagged structs. So, we use `static_assert()` to ensure that the memory layout for both the flexible structure and the tagged struct is the same after any changes. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
