Subject: [PATCH][next] platform/chrome: Fix -Warray-bounds warnings
GCC-13 (and Clang) does not like having a partially allocated object,
since it cannot reason about it for bounds checking.
Notice that the compiler is legitimately complaining about accessing
an object (params, in this case) for which not enough memory was
allocated.
The object is of size 20 bytes:
struct ec_params_vbnvcontext {
uint32_t op; /* 0 4 */
uint8_t block[16]; /* 4 16 */
/* size: 20, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 20 bytes */
};
but only 16 bytes are allocated:
sizeof(struct ec_response_vbnvcontext) == 16
In this case, as only enough space for the op field is allocated,
we can use an object of type uint32_t instead of a whole
struct ec_params_vbnvcontext (for which not enough memory is
allocated).
Fix the following warning seen under GCC 13:
drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_vbc.c: In function ‘vboot_context_read’:
drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_vbc.c:36:15: warning: array subscript ‘struct ec_params_vbnvcontext[1]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[36]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
36 | params->op = EC_VBNV_CONTEXT_OP_READ;
