Commitdf8fc4e934("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3") started applying strict rules to standard string functions. It does not work well with conventional socket code around each protocol- specific sockaddr_XXX struct, which is cast from sockaddr_storage and has a bigger size than fortified functions expect. See these commits: commit06d4c8a808("af_unix: Fix fortify_panic() in unix_bind_bsd().") commitecb4534b6a("af_unix: Terminate sun_path when bind()ing pathname socket.") commita0ade8404c("af_packet: Fix warning of fortified memcpy() in packet_getname().") We must cast the protocol-specific address back to sockaddr_storage to call such functions. However, in the case of getsockaddr(SO_PEERNAME), the rationale is a bit unclear as the buffer is defined by char[128] which is the same size as sockaddr_storage. Let's use sockaddr_storage explicitly.

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.
