Here's a first set of patches for v5.20. This is just a
queue flush, before we get things back from net-next that
are causing conflicts, and then can start merging a lot
of MLO (multi-link operation, part of 802.11be) code.
Lots of cleanups all over.
The only notable change is perhaps wilc1000 being the
first driver to disable WEP (while enabling WPA3).

This is a pure band-aid so that I can continue merging stuff from people
while some of the gcc-12 fallout gets sorted out.
In particular, gcc-12 is very unhappy about the kinds of pointer
arithmetic tricks that netfs does, and that makes the fortify checks
trigger in afs and ceph:
In function ‘fortify_memset_chk’,
inlined from ‘netfs_i_context_init’ at include/linux/netfs.h:327:2,
inlined from ‘afs_set_netfs_context’ at fs/afs/inode.c:61:2,
inlined from ‘afs_root_iget’ at fs/afs/inode.c:543:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:258:25: warning: call to ‘__write_overflow_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
258 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and the reason is that netfs_i_context_init() is passed a 'struct inode'
pointer, and then it does
struct netfs_i_context *ctx = netfs_i_context(inode);
memset(ctx, 0, sizeof(*ctx));
where that netfs_i_context() function just does pointer arithmetic on
the inode pointer, knowing that the netfs_i_context is laid out
immediately after it in memory.
This is all truly disgusting, since the whole "netfs_i_context is laid
out immediately after it in memory" is not actually remotely true in
general, but is just made to be that way for afs and ceph.
See for example fs/cifs/cifsglob.h:
struct cifsInodeInfo {
struct {
/* These must be contiguous */
struct inode vfs_inode; /* the VFS's inode record */
struct netfs_i_context netfs_ctx; /* Netfslib context */
};
[...]
and realize that this is all entirely wrong, and the pointer arithmetic
that netfs_i_context() is doing is also very very wrong and wouldn't
give the right answer if netfs_ctx had different alignment rules from a
'struct inode', for example).
Anyway, that's just a long-winded way to say "the gcc-12 warning is
actually quite reasonable, and our code happens to work but is pretty
disgusting".
This is getting fixed properly, but for now I made the mistake of
thinking "the week right after the merge window tends to be calm for me
as people take a breather" and I did a sustem upgrade. And I got gcc-12
as a result, so to continue merging fixes from people and not have the
end result drown in warnings, I am fixing all these gcc-12 issues I hit.
Including with these kinds of temporary fixes.

In commit 8b202ee21839 ("s390: disable -Warray-bounds") the s390 people
disabled the '-Warray-bounds' warning for gcc-12, because the new logic
in gcc would cause warnings for their use of the S390_lowcore macro,
which accesses absolute pointers.
It turns out gcc-12 has many other issues in this area, so this takes
that s390 warning disable logic, and turns it into a kernel build config
entry instead.
Part of the intent is that we can make this all much more targeted, and
use this conflig flag to disable it in only particular configurations
that cause problems, with the s390 case as an example:
select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS
and we could do that for other configuration cases that cause issues.
Or we could possibly use the CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS thing in a more
targeted way, and disable the warning only for particular uses: again
the s390 case as an example:
KBUILD_CFLAGS_DECOMPRESSOR += $(if $(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS),-Wno-array-bounds)
but this ends up just doing it globally in the top-level Makefile, since
the current issues are spread fairly widely all over:
KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS) += -Wno-array-bounds
We'll try to limit this later, since the gcc-12 problems are rare enough
that *much* of the kernel can be built with it without disabling this
warning.

gcc-12 started warning about 'tracker' being used uninitialized:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lag/lag.c: In function ‘mlx5_do_bond’:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lag/lag.c:786:28: warning: ‘tracker’ is used uninitialized [-Wuninitialized]
786 | struct lag_tracker tracker;
| ^~~~~~~
which seems to be because it doesn't track how the use (and
initialization) is bound by the 'do_bond' flag.
But admittedly that 'do_bond' usage is fairly complicated, and involves
passing it around as an argument to helper functions, so it's somewhat
understandable that gcc doesn't see how that all works.
This function could be rewritten to make the use of that tracker
variable more obviously safe, but for now I'm just adding the forced
initialization of it.

While the concept of checking for dangling pointers to local variables
at function exit is really interesting, the gcc-12 implementation is not
compatible with reality, and results in false positives.
For example, gcc sees us putting things on a local list head allocated
on the stack, which involves exactly those kinds of pointers to the
local stack entry:

But then gcc - understandably - doesn't really understand the big
picture how the doubly linked list works, so doesn't see how we then end
up emptying said list head in a loop and the pointer we added has been
removed.
Gcc also complains about us (intentionally) using this as a way to store
a kind of fake stack trace, eg
drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.c:40:38: warning: storing the address of local variable ‘current_sp’ in ‘acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer’ [-Wdangling-pointer=]
40 | acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer = ¤t_sp;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
which is entirely reasonable from a compiler standpoint, and we may want
to change those kinds of patterns, but not not.
So this is one of those "it would be lovely if the compiler were to
complain about us leaving dangling pointers to the stack", but not this
way.
