The problem is when array is passed as function parameter it'll be treated as a
simple pointer and thus sizeof will return the length of a pointer. This is the
warning is about.
But this doesn't apply to the above case since it passes array directly to
sizeof.

I did a quick test piggybacking print_unknown_bootoptions in init/main.c
static inline char* test_decay(char *buf) {
printk("sizeof(buf) is %lu", sizeof(buf));
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "test_decay");
return buf;
}
static void __init print_unknown_bootoptions(void)
{
char *unknown_options;
char *end;
const char *const *p;
size_t len;
char buf[16];
test_decay(buf);
...
During build we got:
build/tmp-glibc/work-shared/qemux86-64/kernel-source/init/main.c:895:29:
warning: argument to 'sizeof' in 'snprintf' call is the same expression as the
destination; did you mean to provide an explicit length?
[-Wsizeof-pointer-memaccess]
895 | snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "test_decay");
|
During boot we got:
...
[ 0.000000] sizeof(buf) is 8
...
I'll send a patch later.
