One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with
flexible array members instead. So, replace one-element array with
flexible-array member in struct RXBUF and refactor the rest of the code
accordingly. While at it, fix an edge case which could cause
rx_buf_count to be 0 when max_frame_size was set to the maximum
allowed value (65535).

It's worth mentioning that struct RXBUF was allocating 1 byte "too much"
for what is required (ignoring bytes added by padding).

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

Changelog:

- v3:
  fix size calculation mistakes using overflow.h macros: (Req: Andy
  Shevchenko, Kees Cook)
  add notes struct RXBUF size (Kees Cook)

- v2: removed changes to how the size of RXBUF was calculated. I
  changed my mind after thinking about the existing padding in the
  struct. Happy to discuss it if anyone sees it differently.

What was the result of using __packed to make sure there wasn't a sizing
error?

With or without __packed__ attribute, sufficient space would be
allocated which is good :-)

In both cases there is still some "extra space" (1 byte on __packed and
4 bytes on non-packed) but that should be negligible. OTOH, if I'm asked
to cull those bytes I am happy to do it too.

pahole -C RXBUF non-packed/drivers/char/pcmcia/synclink_cs.o
typedef struct {
	int                        count;                /*     0     4 */
	unsigned char              status;               /*     4     1 */
	char                       data[];               /*     5     0 */

	/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
	/* padding: 3 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
} RXBUF;

pahole -C RXBUF packed/drivers/char/pcmcia/synclink_cs.o
typedef struct {
	int                        count;                /*     0     4 */
	unsigned char              status;               /*     4     1 */
	char                       data[];               /*     5     0 */

	/* size: 5, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
	/* last cacheline: 5 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__)) RXBUF;

This check is implied by kcalloc(). But to make it effective we
probably need to get a count first.

If max_frame_size > 8192 - sizeof(RXBUF), we bump into this condition...

>         info->rx_buf_count = info->rx_buf_total_size / info->rx_buf_size;

...which means that rx_buf_count < 8...
(and if max_frame_size > RXBUF_MAX_SIZE - sizeof(RXBUF), count becomes
0, I don't know if below clamp_val() is the only place to guarantee
that)

...hence rx_buf size will be less than rx_buf_total_size.

That is probably not an issue per se, but I'm wondering if the
(bigger) value of rx_buf_total_size is the problem further in the
code.

Maybe something like

static int rx_alloc_buffers(MGSLPC_INFO *info)
{
    /* Prevent count from being 0 */
    if (->max_frame_size > MAX_FRAME_SIZE)
        return -EINVAL;
    ...
   count = ...;
   ...
   rx_total_size = ...
   rx_buf = kcalloc(...);

Then you don't need to check overflow with check_add_overflow() and
check_mul_overflow() will be inside the kcalloc.

You can use clamp_val() macro here.

that's correct. My reading of what the original author intended is the
following:

- rx_buf_count can be < 8 if max_frame_size needs to be > 8192 so that
  userspace tools don't need to collate the different packets together
  then again, SyncLink_CS supports a variety of protocols.

- the more circular buffers, the better, but it looks perfectly acceptable
  to have 1 big rx_buf (max_frame_size possible) if the communication is
  orchestrated nicely (which part sends what and when) especially for
  RS-232-based communications.

I can confirm that the clamp_val() below is the only place that
guarantees the max_frame_size isn't greater than RXBUF_MAX_SIZE. That
happens at the device probing stage: 

( mgslpc_probe > mgslpc_add_device > clamp_val-like routine )

As max_frame_size can only be set as a module parameter and no other way
is exposed to userspace to tweak that afterwards, my 2 cents is that 
clamp_val() routine should be fine as rx_buf_count will always be > 0 
after this fix.

rx_buf_total_size isn't used outside of this function so it
could be a local variable IMO.. so I would say that this wouldn't be a
problem.

I had noticed that rx_buf_total_size could be moved into a local
variable before but I thought that removing it from MGSLPC struct
should be part of a separate patch instead.

This boils down to whether having the clamp_val() on the probe method is
sufficient in your point of view. You make the final call on this :-)

check_mul_overflow point -> agreed.

check_add_overflow -> similar suggestion as my previous point, if the
clamp_val on probe is sufficient for you, I would say that we don't need
it as of now too. But if you still think that we need it, I'm flexible
with that too.

Nice, I didn't know about this macro. I will make that change for v4.

All really nice points you've made Andy, I'm learning heaps of new
things with this patch :-)

thanks!
