Subject: [PATCH] randstruct: deal with char array casts
In continuing to poke at upstreaming randstruct, I noticed build warnings
that exist even under a normal grsecurity build:
fs/nfs/namespace.c: In function ‘nfs_do_submount’:
fs/nfs/namespace.c:261:6: note: found mismatched struct pointer types: ‘struct vfsmount’ and ‘char’
mnt = (struct vfsmount *)devname;
^
devname is a char *:
devname = nfs_devname(dentry, page, PAGE_SIZE);
mnt = (struct vfsmount *)devname;
net/unix/af_unix.c: In function ‘unix_skb_scm_eq’:
net/unix/af_unix.c:1634:31: note: found mismatched struct pointer types: ‘struct unix_skb_parms’ and ‘char’
const struct unix_skb_parms *u = &UNIXCB(skb);
^
UNIXCB is:
#define UNIXCB(skb) (*(struct unix_skb_parms *)&((skb)->cb))
And ->cb is:
char cb[48] __aligned(8);
Both of these are kind of crazy casts, but it looks like they'd always be
"safe" under randomized structure layout (in that it's being cast out of a
character array). This silences the specific case and updates the warnings
to be more specific.
