Subject: [PATCH] m68k: Avoid VLA use in mangle_kernel_stack()
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2019 10:29:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190107092935.14617-1-geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
With gcc 7.3.0:
arch/m68k/kernel/signal.c: In function ‘mangle_kernel_stack’:
arch/m68k/kernel/signal.c:654:3: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘buf’ [-Wvla]
unsigned long buf[fsize / 2]; /* yes, twice as much */
^~~~~~~~
Replace the variable size by the upper limit, which is 168 bytes.
