commit e23e50e7acc8d8f16498e9c129db33e6a00e80eb upstream.
The sizeof(struct whitehat_dr_info) can be 4 bytes under CONFIG_AEABI=n due to "-mabi=apcs-gnu", even though it has a single u8:
whiteheat_private { __u8 mcr; /* 0 1 */
/* size: 4, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */ /* padding: 3 */ /* last cacheline: 4 bytes */ };
The result is technically harmless, as both the source and the destinations are currently the same allocation size (4 bytes) and don't use their padding, but if anything were to ever be added after the "mcr" member in "struct whiteheat_private", it would be overwritten. The structs both have a single u8 "mcr" member, but are 4 bytes in padded size. The memcpy() destination was explicitly targeting the u8 member (size 1) with the length of the whole structure (size 4), triggering the memcpy buffer overflow warning:

Instead, just assign the one byte directly.
