tracepoint: Use struct_size() in kmalloc()
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct tp_probes { ... struct tracepoint_func probes[0]; }; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct tp_probes) + sizeof(struct tracepoint_func) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, probes, count) GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
