Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 3080ea5553cc909b000d1f1d964a9041962f2c5b upstream.
There are many places where kernel code wants to have several different typed trailing flexible arrays. This would normally be done with multiple flexible arrays in a union, but since GCC and Clang don't (on the surface) allow this, there have been many open-coded workarounds, usually involving neighboring 0-element arrays at the end of a structure. For example, instead of something like this:
struct thing { ... union { struct type1 foo[]; struct type2 bar[]; }; };
code works around the compiler with:
struct thing { ... struct type1 foo[0]; struct type2 bar[]; };
Another case is when a flexible array is wanted as the single member within a struct (which itself is usually in a union). For example, this would be worked around as:
union many { ... struct { struct type3 baz[0]; }; };
These kinds of work-arounds cause problems with size checks against such zero-element arrays (for example when building with -Warray-bounds and -Wzero-length-bounds, and with the coming FORTIFY_SOURCE improvements), so they must all be converted to "real" flexible arrays, avoiding warnings like this:
fs/hpfs/anode.c: In function 'hpfs_add_sector_to_btree': fs/hpfs/anode.c:209:27: warning: array subscript 0 is outside the bounds of an interior zero-length array 'struct bplus_internal_node[0]' [-Wzero-length-bounds] 209 | anode->btree.u.internal[0].down = cpu_to_le32(a); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~ In file included from fs/hpfs/hpfs_fn.h:26, from fs/hpfs/anode.c:10: fs/hpfs/hpfs.h:412:32: note: while referencing 'internal' 412 | struct bplus_internal_node internal[0]; /* (internal) 2-word entries giving | ^~~~~~~~

However, it _is_ entirely possible to have one or more flexible arrays in a struct or union: it just has to be in another struct. And since it cannot be alone in a struct, such a struct must have at least 1 other named member -- but that member can be zero sized. Wrap all this nonsense into the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() in support of having flexible arrays in unions (or alone in a struct).
As with struct_group(), since this is needed in UAPI headers as well, implement the core there, with a non-UAPI wrapper.
Additionally update kernel-doc to understand its existence.
