tracepoint: Use struct_size() in kmalloc()
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct tp_probes {
...
struct tracepoint_func probes[0];
};
instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct tp_probes) +
sizeof(struct tracepoint_func) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, probes, count) GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
