The size of fields within a structure is needed in a few places in the kernel already, and will be needed for the usercopy whitelisting when declaring whitelist regions within structures. This creates a dedicated macro and redefines offsetofend() to use it. Existing usage, ignoring the 1200+ lustre assert uses: $ git grep -E 'sizeof\(\(\((struct )?[a-zA-Z_]+ \*\)0\)->' | \ grep -v staging/lustre | wc -l 65 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <redacted> --- include/linux/stddef.h | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
