Pull hardening fixes and cleanups from Gustavo A. R. Silva:
"Various hardening fixes and cleanups that I've been collecting during
the last development cycle:
Fix -Wcast-function-type error:
- firewire: Remove function callback casts (Oscar Carter)
Fix application of sizeof operator:
- firmware/psci: fix application of sizeof to pointer (jing yangyang)
Replace open coded instances with size_t saturating arithmetic
helpers:
- assoc_array: Avoid open coded arithmetic in allocator arguments
(Len Baker)
- writeback: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic (Len
Baker)
- aio: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic (Len Baker)
- dmaengine: pxa_dma: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
(Len Baker)
Flexible array transformation:
- KVM: PPC: Replace zero-length array with flexible array member (Len
Baker)
Use 2-factor argument multiplication form:
- nouveau/svm: Use kvcalloc() instead of kvzalloc() (Gustavo A. R.
Silva)
- xfs: Use kvcalloc() instead of kvzalloc() (Gustavo A. R. Silva)"

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.
