Change the notation from pointer-to-array to pointer-to-pointer.
With this, we avoid the compiler complaining about trying
to access a region of size zero as an argument during function
calls.
This is a workaround to prevent the compiler complaining about
accessing an array of size zero when evaluating the arguments
of a couple of function calls. See below:
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c: In function 'find_css_set':
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1206:16: warning: 'find_existing_css_set' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
1206 | cset = find_existing_css_set(old_cset, cgrp, template);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1206:16: note: referencing argument 3 of type 'struct cgroup_subsys_state *[0]'
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1071:24: note: in a call to function 'find_existing_css_set'
1071 | static struct css_set *find_existing_css_set(struct css_set *old_cset,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the change to pointer-to-pointer, the functions are not prevented
from being executed, and they will do what they have to do when
CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT == 0.
Address the following -Wstringop-overflow warnings seen when
built with ARM architecture and aspeed_g4_defconfig configuration
(notice that under this configuration CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT == 0):
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1208:16: warning: 'find_existing_css_set' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1258:15: warning: 'css_set_hash' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:6089:18: warning: 'css_set_hash' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:6153:18: warning: 'css_set_hash' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
This results in no differences in binary output.
