One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible array members instead. So, replace one-element arrays with flexible-array member in structs negotiate_req and extended_response, and refactor the rest of the code, accordingly. Also, make use of the DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper to declare flexible array member EncryptionKey in union u. This new helper allows for flexible-array members in unions. Change pointer notation to proper array notation in a call to memcpy() where flexible-array member DialectsArray is being used as destination argument. Important to mention is that doing a build before/after this patch results in no binary output differences. This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

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.
