Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "Beyond some specific LoadPin, UBSAN, and fortify features, there are
  other fixes scattered around in various subsystems where maintainers
  were okay with me carrying them in my tree or were non-responsive but
  the patches were reviewed by others:

   - Replace 0-length and 1-element arrays with flexible arrays in
     various subsystems (Paulo Miguel Almeida, Stephen Rothwell, Kees
     Cook)

   - randstruct: Disable Clang 15 support (Eric Biggers)

   - GCC plugins: Drop -std=gnu++11 flag (Sam James)

   - strpbrk(): Refactor to use strchr() (Andy Shevchenko)

   - LoadPin LSM: Allow root filesystem switching when non-enforcing

   - fortify: Use dynamic object size hints when available

   - ext4: Fix CFI function prototype mismatch

   - Nouveau: Fix DP buffer size arguments

   - hisilicon: Wipe entire crypto DMA pool on error

   - coda: Fully allocate sig_inputArgs

   - UBSAN: Improve arm64 trap code reporting

     size"

GCC does not like having a partially allocated object, since it cannot
reason about it for bounds checking when it is passed to other code.
Instead, fully allocate sig_inputArgs. (Alternatively, sig_inputArgs
should be defined as a struct coda_in_hdr, if it is actually not using
any other part of the union.) Seen under GCC 13:

../fs/coda/upcall.c: In function 'coda_upcall':
../fs/coda/upcall.c:801:22: warning: array subscript 'union inputArgs[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'unsigned char[20]' [-Warray-bounds=]
  801 |         sig_inputArgs-&gt;ih.opcode = CODA_SIGNAL;
      |                      ^~

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

This is a straightforward conversion from the page APIs to the folio
APIs.  Symlinks are not allowed to be larger than PAGE_SIZE, so there
is little work to do here.
