Subject: [PATCH 4.4] net/mac80211/debugfs.c: prevent build failure with CONFIG_UBSAN=y

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@...tuozzo.com>

commit 68920c973254c5b71a684645c5f6f82d6732c5d6 upstream.

With upcoming CONFIG_UBSAN the following BUILD_BUG_ON in
net/mac80211/debugfs.c starts to trigger:

  BUILD_BUG_ON(hw_flag_names[NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS] != (void *)0x1);

It seems, that compiler instrumentation causes some code
deoptimizations.  Because of that GCC is not being able to resolve
condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() at compile time.

We could make size of hw_flag_names array unspecified and replace the
condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() with following:

  ARRAY_SIZE(hw_flag_names) != NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS

That will have the same effect as before (adding new flag without
updating array will trigger build failure) except it doesn't fail with
CONFIG_UBSAN.  As a bonus this patch slightly decreases size of
hw_flag_names array.

Hi,

The only stable tree which is missing this fix is 4.4. 4.1 doesn't
have 30686bf7f5b3 ("mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long
bitmap") which makes gcc unhappy with allmodconfig. 4.9 contains the
fix.

Thanks,
Daniel
