Commit 2209c1e35b47 ("xen/arm: Introduce a generic way to access memory
bank structures") introduced a MISRA regression for Rule 1.1 because a
flexible array member is introduced in the middle of a struct, furthermore
this is using a GCC extension that is going to be deprecated in GCC 14 and
a warning to identify such cases will be present
(-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end) to identify such cases.

In order to fix this issue, use the macro __struct_group to create a
structure 'struct membanks_hdr' which will hold the common data among
structures using the 'struct membanks' interface.

Modify the 'struct shared_meminfo' and 'struct meminfo' to use this new
structure, effectively removing the flexible array member from the middle
of the structure and modify the code accessing the .common field to use
the macro container_of to maintain the functionality of the interface.

Given this change, container_of needs to be supplied with a type and so
the macro 'kernel_info_get_mem' inside arm/include/asm/kernel.h can't be
an option since it uses const and non-const types for struct membanks, so
introduce two static inline, one of which will keep the const qualifier.

Given the complexity of the interface, which carries a lot of benefit but
on the other hand could be prone to developer confusion if the access is
open-coded, introduce two static inline helper for the
'struct kernel_info' .shm_mem member and get rid the open-coding
shm_mem.common access.

I'm afraid I can't spot why __struct_group() is needed here. Why would just
one of the two more straightforward

struct membanks {
    struct membanks_hdr {
        unsigned int nr_banks;
        unsigned int max_banks;
    );
    struct membank bank[];
};

struct membanks {
    struct membanks_hdr {
        unsigned int nr_banks;
        unsigned int max_banks;
    ) common;
    struct membank bank[];
};

not do? (Perhaps the latter, seeing that you need the field name in ...

... container_of() uses.)

 From a MISRA perspective the regression on R1.1 is resolved (see [1]).

At the first sight I thought this solution could have worked, however GCC brought me back down to earth
remembering me that flexible array members can’t be left alone in an empty structure:

/data_sdc/lucfan01/gitlab_mickledore_xen/xen/xen/arch/arm/include/asm/setup.h:70:6: error: declaration does not declare anything [-Werror]
70 | };
| ^
/data_sdc/lucfan01/gitlab_mickledore_xen/xen/xen/arch/arm/include/asm/setup.h:71:20: error: flexible array member in a struct with no named members
71 | struct membank bank[];
| ^~~~
[...]

Since for patch 1 you looked at Linux'es uapi/linux/stddef.h, the solution
to this lies there, in __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(). Alongside or instead of
borrowing __struct_group(), we could consider borrowing this as well. Or
open-code it just here, for the time being (perhaps my preference). Yet
it's not clear to me that doing so will actually be enough to make things
work for you.

I looked also into __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(), but then decided __struct_group()
was enough for my purpose, can I ask the technical reasons why it would be your
preference? Is there something in that construct that is a concern for you?

I don't like either construct very much, but of the two __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY()
looks slightly more "natural" for what is wanted and how it's done.
__struct_group() introducing twice the (effectively) same structure feels
pretty odd, for now at least. It's not even entirely clear to me whether there
aren't pitfalls, seeing that the C spec differentiates named and unnamed
struct fields in a few cases. For __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(), otoh, I can't
presently see any reason to suspect possible corner cases.

Yet as said before - I'm not sure __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() alone would be enough
for what you want to achieve.

Mmm yes, I think I would still have problems because container_of wants a named member,
so __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() doesn’t help much alone, if I’m not missing something obvious.
If you believe however that importing __struct_group() only for this instance is not enough to justify
its presence in the codebase, I could open-code it, provided that maintainers are ok with that.

In any case it would be used soon also for other architectures using bootinfo.

I'm afraid I've even more strongly against open-coding. If you can get an
ack from another maintainer for the introduction of struct_group(), that
would still allow it to go in. I didn't NAK the change, I merely have
reservations.

Oh, would it?

PPC people have plans on putting that interface in common:

I guess v5 of that patch will have that, because it would be rebased on the latest state of
xen/arch/arm/include/asm/setup.h, moving that interface in xen/include/xen/bootfdt.h, in
order to use part of the code taken out from xen/arch/arm/setup.c and put in
xen/common/device-tree/bootinfo.c
