gcc gets confused by the comparison of a pointer to an integer listeral,
with the assumption that this is an offset from a NULL pointer and that
dereferencing it is invalid:
In file included from arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c:18:
In function ‘parse_elf’,
inlined from ‘extract_kernel’ at arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c:442:2:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/../string.h:15:23: error: ‘__builtin_memcpy’ reading 64 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
15 | #define memcpy(d,s,l) __builtin_memcpy(d,s,l)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c:283:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘memcpy’
283 | memcpy(&ehdr, output, sizeof(ehdr));
| ^~~~~~
I could not find any good workaround for this, but as this is only
a warning for a failure during early boot, removing the line entirely
works around the warning.
This should probably get addressed in gcc instead, before 11.1 gets
released.
