Linux kernel source tree

The nested loop in iwl_mld_send_proto_offload() confuses Clang into
thinking there could be a final loop iteration past the end of the
"nsc" array (which is only 4 entries). The FORTIFY checking in memcmp()
(via ipv6_addr_cmp()) notices this (due to the available bytes in the
out-of-bounds position of &nsc[4] being 0), and errors out, failing
the build. For some reason (likely due to architectural loop unrolling
configurations), this is only exposed on ARM builds currently. Due to
Clang's lack of inline tracking[1], the warning is not very helpful:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:719:4: error: call to '__read_overflow' declared with 'error' attribute: detected read beyond size of object (1st parameter)
719 | __read_overflow();
| ^
1 error generated.
But this was tracked down to iwl_mld_send_proto_offload()'s
ipv6_addr_cmp() call.
An upstream Clang bug has been filed[2] to track this. For now fix the
build by explicitly bounding the inner loop by "n_nsc", which is what
"c" is already limited to.

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 reStructuredText 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.
