[ Upstream commit 1ad8237e971630c66a1a6194491e0837b64d00e0 ]
When compiling with gcc 13.1 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y,
I've noticed the following:
In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
inlined from ‘wil_rx_crypto_check_edma’ at drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/txrx_edma.c:566:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:529:25: warning: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
529 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
where the compiler complains on:
const u8 *pn;
...
pn = (u8 *)&st->ext.pn_15_0;
...
memcpy(cc->pn, pn, IEEE80211_GCMP_PN_LEN);
and:
In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
inlined from ‘wil_rx_crypto_check’ at drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/txrx.c:684:2:

where the compiler complains on:
const u8 *pn = (u8 *)&d->mac.pn_15_0;
...
memcpy(cc->pn, pn, IEEE80211_GCMP_PN_LEN);
In both cases, the fortification logic interprets 'memcpy()' as 6-byte
overread of 2-byte field 'pn_15_0' of 'struct wil_rx_status_extension'
and 'pn_15_0' of 'struct vring_rx_mac', respectively. To silence
these warnings, last two fields of the aforementioned structures
are grouped using 'struct_group_attr(pn, __packed' quirk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
