Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 19/25] platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: Avoid false-positive memcpy() warning

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit fb49d9946f96081f9a05d8f305b3f40285afe4a9 ]

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.

Since all the size checking has already happened, use input.pointer
(void *) so memcpy() doesn't get confused about how much is being
written.

Avoids this false-positive warning when run-time memcpy() strict
bounds checking is enabled:

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 4096) of single field (size 36)
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 357 at drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-smbios-wmi.c:74 run_smbios_call+0x110/0x1e0 [dell_smbios]
