Merge tag 'hardening-v6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

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

   - copy_struct_from_user(): Add minimum bounds check on kernel buffer
     size"
