gcc points out a buffer that is clearly too small to be used
in a meaningful way, as the 'sizeof(*args) + argc > sizeof(stack)'
will always fail:
In function 'memcpy',
inlined from 'nvif_vmm_map' at drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvif/vmm.c:55:2:
include/linux/string.h:353:9: error: '__builtin_memcpy' offset 40 is out of the bounds [0, 16] of object 'stack' with type 'u8[16]' {aka 'unsigned char[16]'} [-Werror=array-bounds]
return __builtin_memcpy(p, q, size);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvif/vmm.c: In function 'nvif_vmm_map':
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvif/vmm.c:40:5: note: 'stack' declared here
This makes the buffer large enough so it should serve the purpose
that the author presumably had in mind. Alternatively we could
just get rid of it completely and simplify the code at the cost
of always doing the kmalloc (as we do in the current version).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
