In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing run-time destination buffer
bounds checking for memcpy(), specify the destination output buffer
explicitly, instead of asking memcpy() to write past the end of what looked
like a fixed-size object.
Notice that raw_frame is a pointer to a structure that contains
flexible-array member rawframe[]:
drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc.h:
190 struct pwc_raw_frame {
191 __le16 type; /* type of the webcam */
192 __le16 vbandlength; /* Size of 4 lines compressed (used by the
193 decompressor) */
194 __u8 cmd[4]; /* the four byte of the command (in case of
195 nala, only the first 3 bytes is filled) */
196 __u8 rawframe[]; /* frame_size = H / 4 * vbandlength */
197 } __packed;

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.
