When compiling with gcc 13 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, the following
warning appears:
In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
inlined from ‘size_entry_mwt’ at net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:2118:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:592:25: error: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
592 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The compiler is complaining:
memcpy(&offsets[1], &entry->watchers_offset,
sizeof(offsets) - sizeof(offsets[0]));
where memcpy reads beyong &entry->watchers_offset to copy
{watchers,target,next}_offset altogether into offsets[]. Silence the
warning by wrapping these three up via struct_group().

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.
