With the recent fixes for flexible arrays and expanded FORTIFY_SOURCE coverage, it is now possible to enable -Warray-bounds. Since both GCC and Clang include -Warray-bounds in -Wall, adjust the Makefile to just stop disabling it. Note that this option can be conservative in its warnings (which is done at casting time rather than access time), but this is reasonable since the cast variables may be accessed out of a scope where the true size of the original object can't be evaluated. These handful of false positives (which are arguably bad casts and can be easily avoided), are worth dealing with because of the many places where this option has helped identify missed bounds checks and even accesses done against cases where a NULL pointer could be reached. https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/109 https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/151 Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Cc: linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org Co-developed-by:
