Linus Torvalds 8cd34eb616 qnx4: avoid stringop-overread errors
[ Upstream commit b7213ffa0e585feb1aee3e7173e965e66ee0abaa ]

The qnx4 directory entries are 64-byte blocks that have different
contents depending on the a status byte that is in the last byte of the
block.

In particular, a directory entry can be either a "link info" entry with
a 48-byte name and pointers to the real inode information, or an "inode
entry" with a smaller 16-byte name and the full inode information.

But the code was written to always just treat the directory name as if
it was part of that "inode entry", and just extend the name to the
longer case if the status byte said it was a link entry.

That work just fine and gives the right results, but now that gcc is
tracking data structure accesses much more, the code can trigger a
compiler error about using up to 48 bytes (the long name) in a structure
that only has that shorter name in it:

   fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function ‘qnx4_readdir’:
   fs/qnx4/dir.c:51:32: error: ‘strnlen’ specified bound 48 exceeds source size 16 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
      51 |                         size = strnlen(de->di_fname, size);
         |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   In file included from fs/qnx4/qnx4.h:3,
                    from fs/qnx4/dir.c:16:
   include/uapi/linux/qnx4_fs.h:45:25: note: source object declared here
      45 |         char            di_fname[QNX4_SHORT_NAME_MAX];
         |                         ^~~~~~~~

which is because the source code doesn't really make this whole "one of
two different types" explicit.

Fix this by introducing a very explicit union of the two types, and
basically explaining to the compiler what is really going on.

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.
