As reported by Mahesh & Aneesh, opal_prd_msg_notifier() triggers a
FORTIFY_SOURCE warning:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field "&item->msg" at arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-prd.c:355 (size 4)
WARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 660 at arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-prd.c:355 opal_prd_msg_notifier+0x174/0x188 [opal_prd]
NIP opal_prd_msg_notifier+0x174/0x188 [opal_prd]
LR opal_prd_msg_notifier+0x170/0x188 [opal_prd]
Call Trace:
opal_prd_msg_notifier+0x170/0x188 [opal_prd] (unreliable)
notifier_call_chain+0xc0/0x1b0
atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x2c/0x40
opal_message_notify+0xf4/0x2c0
This happens because the copy is targeting item->msg, which is only 4
bytes in size, even though the enclosing item was allocated with extra
space following the msg.
To fix the warning define struct opal_prd_msg with a union of the header
and a flex array, and have the memcpy target the flex array.
