| 2020-05-22 | treewide: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array | Gustavo A. R. Silva | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

| 2013-01-03 | powerpc, dma: move bestcomm driver from arch/powerpc/sysdev to drivers/dma | Philippe De Muyter | 6 | -0/+761 | |
| The bestcomm dma hardware, and some of its users like the FEC ethernet component, is used in different FreeScale parts, including non-powerpc parts like the ColdFire MCF547x & MCF548x families. Don't keep the driver hidden in arch/powerpc where it is inaccessible for other arches. .c files are moved to drivers/dma/bestcomm, while .h files are moved to include/linux/fsl/bestcomm. Makefiles, Kconfigs and #include directives are updated for the new file locations. Tested by recompiling for MPC5200 with all bestcomm users enabled.
