    tcp: avoid bogus gcc-7 array-bounds warning · efe967cd
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    When using CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, the TCP code produces a
    false-positive warning:
    
    net/ipv4/tcp_output.c: In function 'tcp_connect':
    net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
       tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start;
                                            ^~
    net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
       tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start;
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    I have opened a gcc bug for this, but distros have already shipped
    compilers with this problem, and it's not clear yet whether there is
    a way for gcc to avoid the warning. As the problem is related to the
    bitfield access, this introduces a temporary variable to store the old
    enum value.
    
    I did not notice this warning earlier, since UBSAN is disabled when
    building with COMPILE_TEST, and that was always turned on in both
    allmodconfig and randconfig tests.
