PATCH 1/1 drm/virtio: use %llu format string form atomic64_t

The virtgpu driver prints the last_seq variable using the %ld or %lu format string, which does not work correctly on all architectures and causes this compiler warning on ARM:

drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_fence.c: In function 'virtio_timeline_value_str':
drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_fence.c:64:22: warning: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'long long int' [-Wformat=]

  seq_printf(m, "fence %ld %lld\n",
                ^

In order to avoid the warnings, this changes the format strings to %llu and adds a cast to u64, which makes it work the same way everywhere.

You have to wonder why atomic64_* functions do not use u64 types. If they're not reliant on manipulating 64-bit quantities, then what's the point of calling them atomic _64_.

I haven't checked all architectures, but I assume what happens is that 64-bit ones just #define atomic64_t atomic_long_t, so they don't have to provide three sets of functions.

scratch that, I just looked at all the architectures and found that it's just completely arbitrary, even within one architecture you get a mix of 'long' and 'long long', plus this gem from MIPS:

static __inline__ int atomic64_add_unless(atomic64_t *v, long a, long u)

which truncates the result to 32 bit.

Regarding your question of

Instead of sprinkling casts, is there any good reason why atomic64_read() and atomic64_t aren't "long long" everywhere, cfr. u64?

I assume the answer is that some (all?) 64-bit architectures intentionally return 'long' here, in order for atomic_long_read() to return 'long' on all architectures, given the definitions from include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h

We would have to either change those, or we have to pick between atomic_long_* or atomic64_* to have a consistent return type.

I guess the main reason is this comment in include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h, which I hadn't noticed before:

* Casts for parameters are avoided for existing atomic functions in order to
* avoid issues with cast-as-lval under gcc 4.x and other limitations that the
* macros of a platform may have.

Still, it's a pity, as printing atomic_64 is one more place where casts are needed in callers.

Eh... The result is 0/1 so nothing is truncated. Alpha, MIPS, PARISC and PowerPC are using the same prototype and x86 only differs in the use of inline instead __inline__. And anyway, that function on MIPS is only built for CONFIG_64BIT.

What's wrong on MIPS is the comment describing the function's return value which was changed by f24219b4e90cf70ec4a211b17fbabc725a0ddf3c (atomic: move atomic_add_unless to generic code) and I've queued up a patch to fix that since a few days. I guess that was a cut and paste error from __atomic_add_unless which indeed does return the old value.

The virtgpu driver prints the last_seq variable using the %ld or %lu format string, which does not work correctly on all architectures and causes this compiler warning on ARM:

drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_fence.c: In function 'virtio_timeline_value_str':
drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_fence.c:64:22: warning: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'long long int' [-Wformat=]

  snprintf(str, size, "%lu", atomic64_read(&fence->drv->last_seq));

In order to avoid the warnings, this changes the format strings to %llu and adds a cast to u64, which makes it work the same way everywhere.

You have to wonder why atomic64_* functions do not use u64 types. If they're not reliant on manipulating 64-bit quantities, then what's the point of calling them atomic _64_.
