Merge tag 'overflow-v5.8-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull flex-array size helper from Kees Cook:
 "During the treewide clean-ups of zero-length "flexible arrays", the
  struct_size() helper was heavily used, but it was noticed that many
  times it would have been nice to have an additional helper to get the
  size of just the flexible array itself.

  This need appears to be even more common when cleaning up the 1-byte
  array "flexible arrays", so Gustavo implemented it.

  I'd love to get this landed early so it can be used during the v5.9
  dev cycle to ease the 1-byte array cleanups."

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.
