Miguel Ojeda 0c97bf863e tracing: Silence GCC 9 array bounds warning
Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
writing over further members.

Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:

    In function 'memset',
        inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
    ./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset
    [8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of
    referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
    4368 [-Warray-bounds]
      344 |  return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
          |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
directly to the member.

Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
the internal header.

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.
