treewide: Fix GENMASK misuses

This macro is easy to misuse as it's odd argument order.

If specified with simple decimal values, make sure the arguments are ordered high then low.

Also check if any argument is > 32 where instead of GENMASK, GENMASK_ULL should be used.

This hardly needs a review, it needs to be applied. There's a nominal git tree for aspeed here:

This is a DRM patch, so it goes through the DRM tree. I am a co-maintainer there and can apply it once I remember how to drive the tools.

(FYI, this macro is not used by the current driver).

This mask is used in an init function called from a probe.

I don't have this hardware but it looks as if it could never have worked so I doubt the driver and the hardware have ever been tested.

Does anyone have this device in actual use?

I don't see it in v5.3-rc2, has it been collected or are we still in time for an additional fix?

Because it turns out this is 2 times embarrassing. The mask definition is indeed wrong, as Joe reported and fixed, but also this line

Quoted 2 lines

	regval = ret & MAX9611_TEMP_MASK;  

is very wrong as regval is read as:

        ret = max9611_read_single(max9611, CONF_TEMP, &regval);

So that should actually be:

        regval &= MAX9611_TEMP_MASK;

not
regval = ret & MAX9611_TEMP_MASK;
Ups...

Yes, it worked by chance, as regval was always 0, which is in the range of acceptable temperatures :/

Quoted 4 lines

	if ((regval > MAX9611_TEMP_MAX_POS &&
	     regval < MAX9611_TEMP_MIN_NEG) ||
	     regval > MAX9611_TEMP_MAX_NEG) {  

Also reading this condition and how I had defined the temperature calculation formula makes me wonder if this it totally correct, but for the moment:

1) if Joe's patch has been collected, I can send an additional patch to fix how regval is computed.
2) If Joe's patch still have to be collected, the regval computation might be fixed there.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you and thanks for noticing.

Thanks

My personal take on this is that GENMASK() is really not useful, it's just pure obfuscation and leads to exactly these kinds of mistakes.

Yes, I fully understand the argument that you can just specify the start and end bits, and it _in theory_ makes the code more readable.

However, the problem is when writing code. GENMASK(a, b). Is a the starting bit or ending bit? Is b the number of bits? It's confusing and causes mistakes resulting in incorrect code. A BUILD_BUG_ON() can catch some of the cases, but not all of them.

I tried that.

It'd can't be done as it's used in declarations
and included in asm files and it uses the UL()
macro.

I also tried just making it do the right thing
whatever the argument order.

Oh well.

Can the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() macro be used instead? It works in declarations. I don't know if it works in asm-files, but the below changes builds an x86-64 allyesconfig without problems (after the rest of this series have been applied.

GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL() are supposed to be called with the high bit as the first argument and the low bit as the second argument. Mixing them will return a mask with zero bits set.

Recent commits show getting this wrong is not uncommon, see e.g. commit aa4c0c9091b0 ("net: stmmac: Fix misuses of GENMASK macro") and commit 9bdd7bb3a844 ("clocksource/drivers/npcm: Fix misuse of GENMASK macro").

To prevent such mistakes from appearing again, add compile time sanity checking to the arguments of GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL(). If both the arguments are known at compile time, and the low bit is higher than the high bit, break the build to detect the mistake immediately.

Since GENMASK() is used in declarations, BUILD_BUG_OR_ZERO() must be used instead of BUILD_BUG_ON(), and __is_constexpr() must be used instead of __builtin_constant_p().

Commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and friends available in assembly") made the macros in linux/bits.h available in assembly. Since neither BUILD_BUG_OR_ZERO() or __is_constexpr() are asm compatible, disable the checks if the file is included in an asm file.

A few things:

o Reading the final code is a bit confusing. Perhaps add a comment description saying it's not checked in asm .h uses.

o Maybe use:
#define GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(h, l) UL(0)

o The compiler error message when the arguments are in the wrong order isn't obvious. Is there some way to improve the compiler error output, maybe by using BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG or some other mechanism?

Would you prefer to add GENMASK_ULL_INPUT_CHECK?

Or replace UL(0) with
0 and then probably move the cast of BUILD_BUG_OR_ZERO (to avoid GENMASK be of type size_t) to GENMASK and GENMASK_ULL?

BTW, v2 is already inconsistent.
If you wanted GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK() to return 'unsigned long',, you would have to cast (low) > (high) as well:

               (unsigned long)((low) > (high)), UL(0))))

This is totally redundant, and weird.

You added (unsigned long) to the beginning of this macro. So, the type is consistent, but I believe all casts should be removed.

Maybe you're right. BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO returns size_t regardless of inputs. I was worried that on some platform, size_t would be larger than unsigned long (as far as I could see, the standard does not give any guarantees), and thus all of a sudden GENMASK would be 8 bytes instead of 4, but perhaps that is not a problem?

BTW, v2 is already inconsistent.
If you wanted GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK() to return 'unsigned long',, you would have to cast (low) > (high) as well:

               (unsigned long)((low) > (high)), UL(0))))

This is totally redundant, and weird.

I found a more important problem in this patch.

You used __is_constexpr(), which is defined in <linux/kernel.h>.

This header does not include <linux/kernel.h>,
so this header is not self-contained anymore.

The following test code fails to build:

#include <linux/bits.h>
unsigned long foo(unsigned long in_bits)

{
        return in_bits & GENMASK(5, 3);
}

However, you cannot include <linux/kernel.h> from <linux/bits.h>. See the log of 8bd9cb51daac89337295b6f037b0486911e1b408

This header was split out to not pull in <linux/bitops.h> Including <linux/kernel.h> pulls in <linux/bitops.h> again.

In summary, please use __builtin_constant_p()
instead of __is_constexpr().

You can shorten __builtin_constant_p(high) && __builtin_constant_p(low) into __builtin_constant_p((low) > (high)).

How about this?

#define GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(high, low) \
       BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(__builtin_choose_expr( \
              __builtin_constant_p((low) > (high)), (low) > (high), 0))

Thanks for the feedback, your version looks much cleaner than mine. I *think* I had a reason for using __is_constexpr() instead of __builtin_constant_p but I'll try a full rebuild to see if something comes up.

Perhaps a statement expression so high and low aren't possibly evaluated multiple times?

#define GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(high, low) \

({								\
	typeof(high) _high = high;				\
	typeof(low) _low = low;					\
	BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(__builtin_constant_p(_low > _high,	\
					       _low > _high,	\
					       0))		\
})

GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL() are supposed to be called with the high bit as the first argument and the low bit as the second argument. Mixing them will return a mask with zero bits set.

Recent commits show getting this wrong is not uncommon, see e.g. commit aa4c0c9091b0 ("net: stmmac: Fix misuses of GENMASK macro") and commit 9bdd7bb3a844 ("clocksource/drivers/npcm: Fix misuse of GENMASK macro").

To prevent such mistakes from appearing again, add compile time sanity checking to the arguments of GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL(). If both the arguments are known at compile time, and the low bit is higher than the high bit, break the build to detect the mistake immediately.

Since GENMASK() is used in declarations, BUILD_BUG_OR_ZERO() must be used instead of BUILD_BUG_ON(), and __is_constexpr() must be used instead of __builtin_constant_p().

Commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and friends available in assembly") made the macros in linux/bits.h available in assembly. Since neither BUILD_BUG_OR_ZERO() or __is_constexpr() are asm compatible, disable the checks if the file is included in an asm file.

Joe Perches sent a series to fix the existing misuses of GENMASK() that needs to be merged before this to avoid build failures. Currently, 7 of the patches were not in Linus tree, and 2 were not in linux-next.

Also, there's currently no asm users of bits.h, but since it was made asm-compatible just two weeks ago it would be a shame to break it right away...

This is getting cluttered with so many parentheses.

One way of clean-up is to rename the current macros as follows:

   GENMASK()    ->  __GENMASK()
   GENMASK_UL() ->  __GENMASK_ULL()

Then,

#define GENMASK(h, l) (GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(h, l) + __GENMASK(h, l))

Much nicer. It may be better still to use avoid
multiple dereferences of each argument.

Also it'd be useful to rename h and l to something like high_bit and low_bit or high and low.

The same was done with the fallthrough warning in mainline, which still results in all "sh" builds failing there (and in -next, obviously). I don't understand the logic either, but maybe it is the new normal.

I don't think this (from next-20190807):

Build results:

	total: 158 pass: 137 fail: 21
Qemu test results:
	total: 391 pass: 318 fail: 73

is very useful. The situation is bad enough for newly introduced problems. It is all but impossible to get fixes for all problems discovered (or introduced) by adding checks like this one. In some cases, no one will care. In others, no one will pick up patches. Sometimes people won't know or realize that they are expected to fix something. Making the situation worse, the failures introduced by the new checks will hide other accumulating problems.

arch/sh has failed to build in mainline since 7/27 and in -next since next-20190711, due to the added "fallthrough" warning. I don't think that is too useful either. Ok, that situation may be a sign that the architecture isn't maintained as well as it should, but I don't think that this warrants breaking it on purpose in the hope to trigger some kind of reaction.

I don't mind if new checks are introduced, and I agree that it is useful and makes sense. But the checks should only be introduced after a reasonable attempt was made to fix _all_ associated problems. That doesn't mean that the entire work has to be done by the person introducing the check, but I do see that person responsible for making sure (or a reasonable definition of "make sure") that all problems are fixed before actually introducing the check. Yes, I understand, this is a lot of work, but adding checks and letting all hell break loose can not be the answer.

2.22.0

Having BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO produce a value of type size_t leads to awkward casts in cases where the result needs to be signed, or of smaller type than size_t. To avoid this, cast the value to int instead and rely on implicit type conversions when a larger or unsigned type is needed.

2.22.0

GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL() are supposed to be called with the high bit as the first argument and the low bit as the second argument. Mixing them will return a mask with zero bits set.

Recent commits show getting this wrong is not uncommon, see e.g. commit aa4c0c9091b0 ("net: stmmac: Fix misuses of GENMASK macro") and commit 9bdd7bb3a844 ("clocksource/drivers/npcm: Fix misuse of GENMASK macro").

To prevent such mistakes from appearing again, add compile time sanity checking to the arguments of GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL(). If both arguments are known at compile time, and the low bit is higher than the high bit, break the build to detect the mistake immediately.

Since GENMASK() is used in declarations, BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() must be used instead of BUILD_BUG_ON().

__builtin_constant_p does not evaluate is argument, it only checks if it is a constant or not at compile time, and __builtin_choose_expr does not evaluate the expression that is not chosen. Therefore, GENMASK(x++, 0) does only evaluate x++ once.

Commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and friends available in assembly") made the macros in linux/bits.h available in assembly. Since BUILD_BUG_OR_ZERO() is not asm compatible, disable the checks if the file is included in an asm file.

This is now commit 0fd35cd30a2fece1 ("linux/bits.h: add compile time sanity check of GENMASK inputs") in next-20191008.

<[email protected]> reported the following failure in sun3_defconfig, which I managed to reproduce with gcc-4.6.3:

    lib/842/842_compress.c: In function '__split_add_bits':
    lib/842/842_compress.c:164:25: error: first argument to
'__builtin_choose_expr' not a constant
    lib/842/842_compress.c:164:25: error: bit-field '<anonymous>'

width not an integer constant
scripts/Makefile.build:265: recipe for target
'lib/842/842_compress.o' failed

__split_add_bits() calls GENMASK_ULL() with a non-constant. However __split_add_bits() itself is called with constants only. Apparently gcc fails to inline __split_add_bits(). Adding inline or always_inline doesn't help.
