gcc-7 produces a mysterious warning about the size argument being potentially out
of range:
drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/verbs.c: In function 'init_cntr_names':
drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/verbs.c:1644:2: error: 'memcpy': specified size between 18446744071562067968 and 18446744073709551615 exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
This seems to refer to a the case where an 64-bit size_t gets truncated
into a negative 'int' and subsequently turned into a high 64-bit number
again.
The fix is clearly to use size_t here, which matches the type that gets
used for this value elsewhere.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
