cover ARM: mostly harmless gcc warnings

In my attempt to weed out all warnings in ARM defconfigs, this is the latest installment of patches. Ideally these could all go through the respective subsystem maintainer trees, but for any patches I don't hear anything back on, I will just merge them through the arm-soc tree.

Arnd Bergmann (16):
ARM: warnings in arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.h
ARM: binfmt_flat: unused variable 'persistent'
SCSI: ARM: ncr5380/oak uses no interrupts
SCSI: ARM: make fas216_dumpinfo function conditional
vfs: bogus warnings in fs/namei.c
mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN
cgroup: fix warning when building without any subsys
ipvs: fix ip_vs_set_timeout debug messages
USB: EHCI: mark ehci_orion_conf_mbus_windows __devinit
clk: don't mark clkdev_add_table as init
pcmcia: sharpsl: don't discard sharpsl_pcmcia_ops
video: mark nuc900fb_map_video_memory as __devinit
ARM: be really quiet when building with 'make -s'
ARM: pxa: armcore: fix PCI PIO warnings spi/s3c64xx: use correct dma_transfer_direction type
ARM: pass -marm to gcc by default for both C and assembler

PATCH 1/16 ARM: warnings in arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.h

On NOMMU ARM, the __addr_ok() and __range_ok() macros do not evaluate their arguments, which may lead to harmless build warnings in some code where the variables are not used otherwise. Adding a cast to void gets rid of the warning and does not make any semantic changes.

Without this patch, building at91x40_defconfig results in:

Well, my idea was that I would prefer the patches go through some other tree besides arm-soc since they are not really the main purpose for this tree.

The core ARM patches in particular should go through Russell's ARM tree. I have a few more that come in during the merge window and plan to send him a pull request for those.

PATCH 2/16 ARM: binfmt_flat: unused variable 'persistent'

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The flat_get_addr_from_rp() macro does not use the 'persistent' argument on ARM, causing a harmless compiler warning. A cast to void removes that warning.

PATCH 3/16 SCSI: ARM: ncr5380/oak uses no interrupts

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The ncr5380 driver is included by multiple board specific drivers, which may or may not use the interrupt handler. The oak variant doesn't, and should set the DONT_USE_INTR macro.

Without this patch, building rpc_defconfig results in:

With my latest compiler, I don't actually see the warnings any more, so maybe someone fixed gcc instead, or this went away after another change. I'll let you know if it comes back so we can discuss about a better fix then.

Update: I could actually reproduce the problem now, but it only happens when building with 'gcc -s' (i.e. CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE). It does happen with both gcc-4.6 and with gcc-4.8, and on both x86-64 and ARM. An alternative patch that would also make it go away is the variant below, but I think that's even worse than the first version I suggested because it makes the binary output slightly worse by adding an unnecessary initialization when building with 'make -s'.

Or alternatively if we unconditionally initialized the variable that would get rid of the warning and made the code more future-proof (that's what I usually end up doing)... I don't really care that much about the chosen solution, Al is the one to decide. But I wanted to point out there are downsides to your solution.

Quoted 8 lines

I'll drop the patch for now and won't send it from my tree then. I agree that uninitialized_var() is not ideal, but none of the alternatives seemed better.

With my latest compiler, I don't actually see the warnings any more, so maybe someone fixed gcc instead, or this went away after another change. I'll let you know if it comes back so we can discuss about a better fix then.

Quoted 7 lines

Update: I could actually reproduce the problem now, but it only happens when building with 'gcc -s' (i.e. CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE). It does happen with both gcc-4.6 and with gcc-4.8, and on both x86-64 and ARM. An alternative patch that would also make it go away is the variant below, but I think that's even worse than the first version I suggested because it makes the binary output slightly worse by adding an unnecessary initialization when building with 'make -s'.

Hum, dumb compiler... I like this patch better and since the extra
initialization is on error path only, I don't think it matters. But whatever Al likes better.

PATCH v2 1/1 vfs: bogus warnings in fs/namei.c

The follow_link() function always initializes its *p argument, or returns an error, but when building with 'gcc -s', the compiler gets confused by the __always_inline attribute to the function and can no longer detect where the cookie was initialized.

The solution is to always initialize the pointer from follow_link, even in the error path. When building with -O2, this has zero impact on generated code and adds a single instruction in the error path for a -Os build on ARM.

Without this patch, building with gcc-4.6 through gcc-4.8 and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE results in:

PATCH 6/16 mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN can cause harmless warnings on platforms where they are different. Since both are always small positive integer numbers, using the size_t type to compare them is safe and gets rid of the warning.

Without this patch, building ARM collie_defconfig results in:

PATCH 7/16 cgroup: fix warning when building without any subsys

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

In a configuration where the base cgroup support is enabled but every single cgroup subsys is turned off, CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT is zero, which causes the sanity check code in cgroup_load_subsys to trigger:

       BUG_ON(ss->subsys_id >= CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT);
       BUG_ON(subsys[ss->subsys_id] != ss);

Gcc first confirms that subsys_id cannot be 0 or larger and consequently warns in the second line.

kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_load_subsys':
kernel/cgroup.c:4326:38: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]

Since the subsys_id can never be less than zero, we can just change the type to an unsigned int, which makes the warning go away.

Found by building ARM cns3420vb_defconfig.

PATCH 8/16 ipvs: fix ip_vs_set_timeout debug messages

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The ip_vs_set_timeout function sets timeouts for TCP and UDP, which can be enabled independently at compile time. The debug message always prints both timeouts that are passed into the function, but if one is disabled, the message will show uninitialized data.

This splits the debug message into two separte IP_VS_DBG statements that are in the same #ifdef section to ensure we only print the text about what is actually going on.

There are many __ip_vs_get_timeouts callers but
just one calls memset(&t, 0, sizeof(t)) before that, problem only for ip_vs_genl_set_config and ip_vs_set_timeout.

To be safe, can we move this memset into
__ip_vs_get_timeouts instead of playing games with defines?:

	This debug message will be more precise in showing the

changed values if we replace the __ip_vs_get_timeouts call in ip_vs_genl_set_config with memset(&t, 0, sizeof(t)). Then we will see 0 for values that are not changed/supported.

ipvs: initialize returned data in do_ip_vs_get_ctl

As reported by a gcc warning, the do_ip_vs_get_ctl does not initalize all the members of the ip_vs_timeout_user structure it returns if at least one of the TCP or UDP protocols is disabled for ipvs.

This makes sure that the data is always initialized, before it is returned as a response to IPVS_CMD_GET_CONFIG or printed as a debug message in IPVS_CMD_SET_CONFIG.

Without this patch, building ARM ixp4xx_defconfig results in:

I'd prefer Simon to pick up the patch. He should also decide whether he wants to add it to stable. In theory, this is a small leak of kernel stack data to user space, but as you say in practice it should not happen because it only exists for silly configurations that nobody should be using.

AFAICT, removing the call to __ip_vs_get_timeouts in do_ip_vs_get_ctl would be a semantic change for the case where a user sends a IPVS_CMD_SET_CONFIG message without without the complete set of attributes inside it.

PATCH 9/16 USB: EHCI: mark ehci_orion_conf_mbus_windows __devinit

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The __devinit section is going away soon, but while it's still there, we get a correct warning about ehci_orion_conf_mbus_windows being discarded before its caller, so it should be marked __devinit rather than __init.

Without this patch, building dove_defconfig results in:

WARNING: drivers/usb/host/built-in.o(.devinit.text+0x8a4): Section mismatch in reference from the function ehci_orion_drv_probe() to the function .init.text:ehci_orion_conf_mbus_windows() The function __devinit ehci_orion_drv_probe() references
a function __init ehci_orion_conf_mbus_windows().
If ehci_orion_conf_mbus_windows is only used by ehci_orion_drv_probe then
annotate ehci_orion_conf_mbus_windows with a matching annotation.

s3c2440_clk_add is a subsys_interface method and calls clkdev_add_table, which means we might be calling it after the __init section is discarded.

PATCH 11/16 pcmcia: sharpsl: don't discard sharpsl_pcmcia_ops

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The sharpsl_pcmcia_ops structure gets passed into sa11xx_drv_pcmcia_probe, where it gets accessed at run-time, unlike all other pcmcia drivers that pass their structures into platform_device_add_data, which makes a copy.

This means the gcc warning is valid and the structure must not be marked as __initdata.

PATCH 13/16 ARM: be really quiet when building with 'make -s'

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

Sometimes we want the kernel build process to only print messages on errors, e.g. in automated build testing. This uses the "kecho" macro that the build system provides to hide a few informational messages. Nothing changes for a regular "make" or "make V=1".

Without this patch, building any ARM kernel results in:

Re: [PATCH 13/16] ARM: be really quiet when building with 'make -s'

Quoted 7 lines · Arnd Bergmann

Sometimes we want the kernel build process to only print messages on errors, e.g. in automated build testing. This uses the "kecho" macro that the build system provides to hide a few informational messages. Nothing changes for a regular "make" or "make V=1".

Without this patch, building any ARM kernel results in:

PATCH 14/16 ARM: pxa: armcore: fix PCI PIO warnings

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The it8152 PCI host used on the pxa/cm_x2xx machines uses the old-style I/O window registration. This should eventually get converted to pci_ioremap_io() but for now, let's cast the IT8152_IO_BASE constant to an integer type to get rid of the warnings.

Without this patch, building cm_x2xx_defconfig results in:

PATCH 15/16 spi/s3c64xx: use correct dma_transfer_direction type

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

There is a subtle difference between dma_transfer_direction and
dma_data_direction: the former is used by the dmaengine framework, while the latter is used by the dma-mapping API. Although the purpose is comparable, the actual values are different and must not be mixed. In this case, the driver just wants to use dma_transfer_direction.

Without this patch, building s3c6400_defconfig results in:

drivers/spi/spi-s3c64xx.c: In function 's3c64xx_spi_dmacb':

PATCH 16/16 ARM: pass -marm to gcc by default for both C and assembler

In reply to Arnd Bergmann

The Linaro cross toolchain and probably others nowadays default to building in THUMB2 mode. When building a kernel for a CPU that does not support THUMB2, the compiler complains about incorrect flags. We can work around this by setting -marm for all non-T2 builds.

Without this patch, building assabet_defconfig results in:

I don't think you need "call cc-option" with -marm. Those gcc versions that might not accept -marm have not been able to compile the kernel for a long long time now. Otherwise...
