compiler_types: Move unused static inline functions warning to W=2

2025-12-06T21:08:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9818af18db4bfefd320d0fef41390a616365e6f7 ]

Per Nathan, clang catches unused "static inline" functions in C files
since commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static
inline functions for W=1 build").

Linus said:

> So I entirely ignore W=1 issues, because I think so many of the extra

Here is the change to bump the warning from W=1 to W=2.

compiler_attributes.h: move __compiletime_{error|warning}

2022-10-15T05:55:51+00:00

commit b83a908498d68fafca931e1276e145b339cac5fb upstream.

Clang 14 will add support for __attribute__((__error__(""))) and
__attribute__((__warning__(""))). To make use of these in
__compiletime_error and __compiletime_warning (as used by BUILD_BUG and
friends) for newer clang and detect/fallback for older versions of
clang, move these to compiler_attributes.h and guard them with
__has_attribute preprocessor guards.

kcov: add __no_sanitize_coverage to fix noinstr for all architectures

2021-07-20T14:05:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 540540d06e9d9b3769b46d88def90f7e7c002322 ]

Until now no compiler supported an attribute to disable coverage
instrumentation as used by KCOV.

To work around this limitation on x86, noinstr functions have their
coverage instrumentation turned into nops by objtool.  However, this
solution doesn't scale automatically to other architectures, such as
arm64, which are migrating to use the generic entry code.

Clang [1] and GCC [2] have added support for the attribute recently.
[1] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/280333021e9550d80f5c1152a34e33e81df1e178
[2] https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=cec4d4a6782c9bd8d071839c50a239c49caca689
The changes will appear in Clang 13 and GCC 12.

Add __no_sanitize_coverage for both compilers, and add it to noinstr.

Note: In the Clang case, __has_feature(coverage_sanitizer) is only true if
the feature is enabled, and therefore we do not require an additional
defined(CONFIG_KCOV) (like in the GCC case where __has_attribute(..) is
always true) to avoid adding redundant attributes to functions if KCOV is
off.  That being said, compilers that support the attribute will not
generate errors/warnings if the attribute is redundantly used; however,
where possible let's avoid it as it reduces preprocessed code size and
associated compile-time overheads.

bpf: Don't rely on GCC attribute((optimize)) to disable GCSE

2020-10-30T03:01:46+00:00

Commit 3193c0836 ("bpf: Disable GCC -fgcse optimization for
___bpf_prog_run()") introduced a __no_fgcse macro that expands to a
function scope __attribute__((optimize("-fno-gcse"))), to disable a
GCC specific optimization that was causing trouble on x86 builds, and
was not expected to have any positive effect in the first place.

However, as the GCC manual documents, __attribute__((optimize))
is not for production use, and results in all other optimization
options to be forgotten for the function in question. This can
cause all kinds of trouble, but in one particular reported case,
it causes -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to be disregarded,
resulting in .eh_frame info to be emitted for the function.

This reverts commit 3193c0836, and instead, it disables the -fgcse
optimization for the entire source file, but only when building for
X86 using GCC with CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON disabled. Note that the
original commit states that CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n triggers the issue,
whereas CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y performs better without the optimization,
so it is kept disabled in both cases.

sparse: use static inline for __chk_{user,io}_ptr()

2020-08-29T07:29:32+00:00

__chk_user_ptr() & __chk_io_ptr() are dummy extern functions which
only exist to enforce the typechecking of __user or __iomem pointers
in macros when using sparse.

This typechecking is done by inserting a call to these functions.
But the presence of these calls can inhibit some simplifications
and so influence the result of sparse's analysis of context/locking.

Fix this by changing these calls into static inline calls with
an empty body.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

2020-08-03T21:11:08+00:00

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.

  Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
  read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
  translation series from Lorenzo.

  The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
  translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.

  Summary:

   - Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
     barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
     favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
     whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
     provide LOAD -> LOAD/STORE ordering.

     This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
     to convert LOAD -> LOAD address dependencies into control
     dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
     effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
     The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
     LPC.

   - Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
     augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
     bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
     device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.

   - arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
     hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).

   - Time namespace support for arm64.

   - Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
     makedumpfile and crash utilities.

   - CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
     (overlapping bit-fields).

   - ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
     and kernel memory.

   - perf updates for arm64.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
     optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
     relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
     gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.

   - Trivial typos, duplicate words"

compiler.h: Move compiletime_assert() macros into compiler_types.h

The kernel test robot reports that moving READ_ONCE() out into its own
header breaks a W=1 build for parisc, which is relying on the definition
of compiletime_assert() being available:

  | In file included from ./arch/parisc/include/generated/asm/rwonce.h:1,

Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9

2020-07-08T17:48:35+00:00

I realize that we fairly recently raised it to 4.8, but the fact is, 4.9
is a much better minimum version to target.

We have a number of workarounds for actual bugs in pre-4.9 gcc versions
(including things like internal compiler errors on ARM), but we also
have some syntactic workarounds for lacking features.

In particular, raising the minimum to 4.9 means that we can now just
assume _Generic() exists, which is likely the much better replacement
for a lot of very convoluted built-time magic with conditionals on
sizeof and/or __builtin_choose_expr() with same_type() etc.

Using _Generic also means that you will need to have a very recent
version of 'sparse', but thats easy to build yourself, and much less of
a hassle than some old gcc version can be.

The latest (in a long string) of reasons for minimum compiler version
upgrades was commit 5435f73d5c4a ("efi/x86: Fix build with gcc 4").

Ard points out that RHEL 7 uses gcc-4.8, but the people who stay back on
old RHEL versions persumably also don't build their own kernels anyway.
And maybe they should cross-built or just have a little side affair with
a newer compiler?
