Add DEFINE_FLEX() macro for on-stack allocations of structs with
flexible array member.

Expose __struct_size() macro outside of fortify-string.h, as it could be
used to read size of structs allocated by DEFINE_FLEX().
Move __member_size() alongside it.
-Kees

Using underlying array for on-stack storage lets us to declare
known-at-compile-time structures without kzalloc().

Actual usage for ice driver is in following patches of the series.

Missing __has_builtin() workaround is moved up to serve also assembly
compilation with m68k-linux-gcc, see [1].
Error was (note the .S file extension):

Looks good to me! Thanks for working on this. :)

Isn't DEFINE_FLEX() a bit misleading?
One thing it isn't is 'flexible' since it has a fixed size.

You shouldn't need the _Alignof() it is the default.
I'm not sure you should be forcing the memset() either.

> +	type *name = (type *)&name##_u

How about?
	type *const name = &name_##_u.obj;

You might want to add:
	Static_assert(is_constexpr(count), "DEFINE_FLEX: non-constant count " #count);

It works only on flex array structs, and defines a specific instance. I
think naming is okay here.

In the sense that since "type" is in the union, it's okay?

This already got discussed: better to fail safe.

This is by design (see earlier threads) so that
__builtin_object_size(name, 1) will get the correct size. Otherwise it
doesn't include the FAM elements in the size.

That would be nice, though can Static_assert()s live in the middle of
variable definitions?

The alignment of the union is the larger of the alignments
of all its members.
Which is what you want.

Perhaps call it DEFINE_FLEX_Z() to make this clear and
give the option for a non-zeroing version later.
Not everyone wants the expense of zeroing everything.

I checked and it is fine.
(I double-checked by adding a statement and getting an error.)

per Kees, zeroing should be removed by compiler when not needed:

Thanks for education on alignment!

Static_assert with nice wording definitively would make it better, 
thanks again!

Rust folks, could you please tell me if this is something I should fix, 
or I just uncovered some existing bug in "unstable" thing?

Perhaps it is worth to mention, diff of v3 vs v2 is:
move dummy implementation of __has_builtin() macro to the top of 
compiler_types.h, just before `#ifndef ASSEMBLY`

Expect in the most trivial cases the compiler is pretty much never
going to remove the zeroing of the data[] part.

I'm also not at all sure what happens if there is a function
call between the initialisation and any assignments.

With a bit of effort you should be able to pass the '= {}'
through into an inner #define.
Possibly with the alternative of a caller-provider
 '= { .obj = call_supplied_initialiser }'
The 'not _Z' form would pass an empty argument.

Nothing you need to worry about, it is an issue with old `bindgen` and
LLVM >= 16, fixed in commit 08ab786556ff ("rust: bindgen: upgrade to
0.65.1") which is in `rust-next` at the moment. Sorry about that, and
thanks for pinging us!

LKP / Yujie / Philip: since we got a few reports on this, would it be
possible to avoid LLVM >= 16 for Rust-enabled builds for any branch
that does not include the new `bindgen` or at least 08ab786556ff? Or,
if Greg is OK with that, I guess we could also backport the upgrade,
but perhaps it is a bit too much for stable?

Cheers,
Miguel

Got it, we will update the bot to handle this to avoid further false
positive.

Commit is tiny enough for stable backports if it fixes a real issue that
everyone needs to address, so I have no objection to taking it for
stable releases once it hits Linus's tree.

thanks,

Thanks, makes sense, there could be also DEFINE_FLEX_COUNTED
(or DEFINE_FLEX_BOUNDED) to cover Kees's __counted_by() cases.

Would you like me to cover/convert any existing code/use cases (as with 
other patches in the series, to have some examples/actual usage of newly 
introduced macros)?

I did some manual searches and found no obvious candidate :/
will post next version/RFC without _NOINIT() variant.
