ipc/sem.c: remove sem_base, embed struct sem
sma->sem_base is initialized with sma->sem_base = (struct sem *) &sma[1]; The current code has four problems: - There is an unnecessary pointer dereference - sem_base is not needed. - Alignment for struct sem only works by chance. - The current code causes false positive for static code analysis. - This is a cast between different non-void types, which the future randstruct GCC plugin warns on. And, as bonus, the code size gets smaller: Before: 0 .text 00003770 After: 0 .text 0000374e [manfred@colorfullife.com: s/[0]/[]/, per hch] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170525185107.12869-2-manfred@colorfullife.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170515171912.6298-2-manfred@colorfullife.com Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: <1vier1@web.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
