gcc-11 warns about using string operations on pointers that are
defined at compile time as offsets from a NULL pointer. Unfortunately
that also happens on the result of fix_to_virt(), which is a
compile-time constant for a constant input:
arch/x86/kernel/tboot.c: In function 'tboot_probe':
arch/x86/kernel/tboot.c:70:13: error: '__builtin_memcmp_eq' specified bound 16 exceeds source size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
70 | if (memcmp(&tboot_uuid, &tboot->uuid, sizeof(tboot->uuid))) {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this can get addressed in gcc-11 before the release.
As a workaround, split up the tboot_probe() function in two halves
to separate the pointer generation from the usage. This is a bit
ugly, and hopefully gcc understands that the code is actually correct
before it learns to peek into the noinline function.
