Description copied from Linux kernel commit from Gustavo A. R. Silva
(see [3]):
--v-- description start --v--
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to
declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible
array member [1], introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler
warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the
structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined
behavior bugs from being unadvertenly introduced [2] to the
Linux codebase from now on.
--^-- description end --^--
Do the similar housekeeping in the QEMU codebase (which uses
C99 since commit 7be41675f7).
All these instances of code were found with the help of the
following Coccinelle script:
@@
identifier s, m, a;
type t, T;
@@
struct s {
...
t m;
- T a[0];
+ T a[];
};
@@
identifier s, m, a;
type t, T;
@@
struct s {
...
t m;
- T a[0];
+ T a[];
} QEMU_PACKED;

Loadparm is defined by the s390 architecture to be 8 bytes
in length. Let's define this size in the s390-ccw bios.

Obtain the loadparm value stored in SCP Read Info by performing
a SCLP Read Info request.
Rename sclp-ascii.c to sclp.c to reflect the changed scope of
the file.

In order to communicate with the user, we need an I/O mechanism that he
can read. Implement SCLP ASCII support, which happens to be the default
in the s390 ccw machine.
This file is missing read support for now. It can only print messages.
