net/ipv4/ipv6: Replace one-element arraya with flexible-array members

Browse source 
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Use an anonymous union with a couple of anonymous structs in order to
keep userspace unchanged and refactor the related code accordingly:

$ pahole -C group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct group_filter {
	union {
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface_aux;     /*     0     4 */

			/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux; /*     8   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode_aux;         /*   136     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc_aux;        /*   140     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1]; /*   144   128 */
		};                                       /*     0   272 */
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface;         /*     0     4 */

			/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group; /*     8   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode;             /*   136     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc;            /*   140     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0]; /*   144     0 */
		};                                       /*     0   144 */
	};                                               /*     0   272 */

	/* size: 272, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};

$ pahole -C compat_group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct compat_group_filter {
	union {
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface_aux;     /*     0     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*     4   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode_aux;         /*   132     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc_aux;        /*   136     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*   140   128 */
		} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));                     /*     0   268 */
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface;         /*     0     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*     4   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode;             /*   132     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc;            /*   136     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*   140     0 */
		} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));                     /*     0   140 */
	} __attribute__((__aligned__(1)));               /*     0   268 */

	/* size: 268, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */
	/* forced alignments: 1 */
	/* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().
