Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "The end goal of the current buffer overflow detection work[0] is to
  gain full compile-time and run-time coverage of all detectable buffer
  overflows seen via array indexing or memcpy(), memmove(), and
  memset(). The str*() family of functions already have full coverage.

  While much of the work for these changes have been on-going for many
  releases (i.e. 0-element and 1-element array replacements, as well as
  avoiding false positives and fixing discovered overflows[1]), this
  series contains the foundational elements of several related buffer
  overflow detection improvements by providing new common helpers and
  FORTIFY_SOURCE changes needed to gain the introspection required for
  compiler visibility into array sizes. Also included are a handful of
  already Acked instances using the helpers (or related clean-ups), with
  many more waiting at the ready to be taken via subsystem-specific
  trees[2].

  The new helpers are:

   - struct_group() for gaining struct member range introspection

   - memset_after() and memset_startat() for clearing to the end of
     structures

   - DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for using flex arrays in unions or alone in
     structs

  Also included is the beginning of the refactoring of FORTIFY_SOURCE to
  support memcpy() introspection, fix missing and regressed coverage
  under GCC, and to prepare to fix the currently broken Clang support.
  Finishing this work is part of the larger series[0], but depends on
  all the false positives and buffer overflow bug fixes to have landed
  already and those that depend on this series to land.

  As part of the FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring, a set of both a
  compile-time and run-time tests are added for FORTIFY_SOURCE and the
  mem*()-family functions respectively. The compile time tests have
  found a legitimate (though corner-case) bug[6] already.

  Please note that the appearance of "panic" and "BUG" in the
  FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring are the result of relocating existing code,
  and no new use of those code-paths are expected nor desired.

  Finally, there are two tree-wide conversions for 0-element arrays and
  flexible array unions to gain sane compiler introspection coverage
  that result in no known object code differences.

  After this series (and the changes that have now landed via netdev and
  usb), we are very close to finally being able to build with
  -Warray-bounds and -Wzero-length-bounds.

  However, due corner cases in GCC[3] and Clang[4], I have not included
  the last two patches that turn on these options, as I don't want to
  introduce any known warnings to the build. Hopefully these can be
  solved soon"
