Gustavo A. R. Silva 41d1493760 wifi: wext-core: Fix -Wstringop-overflow warning in ioctl_standard_iw_point()
[ Upstream commit 71e7552c90db2a2767f5c17c7ec72296b0d92061 ]

-Wstringop-overflow is legitimately warning us about extra_size
pontentially being zero at some point, hence potenially ending
up _allocating_ zero bytes of memory for extra pointer and then
trying to access such object in a call to copy_from_user().

Fix this by adding a sanity check to ensure we never end up
trying to allocate zero bytes of data for extra pointer, before
continue executing the rest of the code in the function.

Address the following -Wstringop-overflow warning seen when built
m68k architecture with allyesconfig configuration:
                 from net/wireless/wext-core.c:11:
In function '_copy_from_user',
    inlined from 'copy_from_user' at include/linux/uaccess.h:183:7,
    inlined from 'ioctl_standard_iw_point' at net/wireless/wext-core.c:825:7:
arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h:48:25: warning: '__builtin_memset' writing 1 or more bytes into a region of size 0 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=]
   48 | #define memset(d, c, n) __builtin_memset(d, c, n)
      |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/uaccess.h:153:17: note: in expansion of macro 'memset'
  153 |                 memset(to + (n - res), 0, res);
      |                 ^~~~~~
In function 'kmalloc',
    inlined from 'kzalloc' at include/linux/slab.h:694:9,
    inlined from 'ioctl_standard_iw_point' at net/wireless/wext-core.c:819:10:
include/linux/slab.h:577:16: note: at offset 1 into destination object of size 0 allocated by '__kmalloc'
  577 |         return __kmalloc(size, flags);
      |                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This help with the ongoing efforts to globally enable
-Wstringop-overflow.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
