Subject: [PATCH 0/2] randstruct: fix container_of() false positives after __mptr removal
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 16:24:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903232428.i.323-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi,
The GCC randstruct implementation specifically keyed on the __mptr temp
variable name. With that removed, we need to check via a struct walk or
a void * cast (which is what Clang already does).
I'm hoping to get these into v7.3 before release, but I want to put this
through -next for a bit first.
-Kees
