[PATCH v2] ACPICA: Replace fake flexible arrays with flexible array members
Posted by Kees Cook 3 years ago 
One-element arrays (and multi-element arrays being treated as
dynamically sized) are deprecated[1] and are being replaced with
flexible array members in support of the ongoing efforts to tighten the
FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(), correctly instrument array indexing
with UBSAN_BOUNDS, and to globally enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3.

Replace one-element array with flexible-array member in struct
acpi_resource_extended_irq. Replace 4-byte fixed-size array with 4-byte
padding in a union with a flexible-array member in struct
acpi_pci_routing_table.

This results in no differences in binary output.

This patch results in boot failures of 32-bit images.
Reverting it fixes the problem.

On the failing boot tests, I see messages such as

ACPI: \_SB_.GSIA: Enabled at IRQ 117440528
ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 117440528
ahci 0000:00:1f.2: PCI INT A: failed to register GSI

ACPI: \_SB_.GSIG: Enabled at IRQ 117440534
ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 117440534
8139cp 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A: failed to register GSI

Given that 117440534 == 0x7000016, that looks quite suspicious.
Indeed, after reverting this patch, the messages are different.

ACPI: \_SB_.GSIA: Enabled at IRQ 16
ahci 0000:00:1f.2: AHCI 0001.0000 32 slots 6 ports 1.5 Gbps 0x3f impl SATA mode

Weird -- I didn't see any binary differences. I'll investigate. What compiler and arch?

Yeah, seems like a high byte not getting cleared. Hmm.

gcc 11.3, binutils 2.39, x86 (32-bit build). This is pretty much defconfig
with ARCH=i386 and various debug options enabled.

64-bit builds do not have the problem.

Thanks for the report, I have reverted this commit from my linux-next 
branch and will not include it into my 6.3-rc1 pull requests at all.

Thanks!

I think a "make clean" is needed first? It builds for me...
