However, this warning is overly pessimistic, in that # it is only happy with stack array sizes that are declared as constant # expressions, and not constant values. One case of this is the # evaluation of the max() macro which, due to its construction, ends up # converting constant expression arguments into a constant value result. # # All attempts to rewrite this macro with __builtin_constant_p() failed # with older compilers (e.g. gcc 4.4)[2]. However, Martin Uecker, # constructed[3] a mind-shattering solution that works everywhere. # Cthulhu fhtagn! # # This patch updates the min()/max() macros to evaluate to a constant # expression when called on constant expression arguments. This removes # several false-positive stack VLA warnings from an x86 allmodconfig build # when -Wvla is added: # # $ diff -u before.txt after.txt | grep ^- # -drivers/input/touchscreen/cyttsp4_core.c:871:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘ids’ [-Wvla] # -fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c:344:4: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘namebuf’ [-Wvla] # -lib/vsprintf.c:747:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘sym’ [-Wvla] # -net/ipv4/proc.c:403:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘buff’ [-Wvla] # -net/ipv6/proc.c:198:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘buff’ [-Wvla] # -net/ipv6/proc.c:218:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘buff64’ [-Wvla] # # This also updates two cases where different enums were being compared # and explicitly casts them to int (which matches the old side-effect of # the single-evaluation code): one in tpm/tpm_tis_core.h, and one in # drm/drm_color_mgmt.c. # # [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 # [2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/10/170 # [3] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/845 # # Co-Developed-by: Linus Torvalds # Co-Developed-by: Martin Uecker # Signed-off-by: Kees Cook # Acked-by: Ingo Molnar # Acked-by: Miguel Ojeda # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 3c8ba0d61d04ced9f8d9ff93977995a9e4e96e91 # < make -s -j 10 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- defconfig # make -s -j 10 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- /kisskb/src/kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1229:12: warning: 'bpf_prog_attach_check_attach_type' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] static int bpf_prog_attach_check_attach_type(const struct bpf_prog *prog, ^ FIT description: Linux 4.16.0-g3c8ba0d Created: Fri Apr 6 09:53:16 2018 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 4.16.0-g3c8ba0d Created: Fri Apr 6 09:53:16 2018 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 4413336 Bytes = 4309.90 kB = 4.21 MB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x8087e660 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 99fa1efecff8f4322e488c14d057dd3d530ba97f Image 1 (fdt@boston) Description: img,boston Device Tree Created: Fri Apr 6 09:53:16 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 3602 Bytes = 3.52 kB = 0.00 MB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: dabc84017c5ea1c23fdb5a4b25d185bdf81faa6a Image 2 (fdt@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 device tree Created: Fri Apr 6 09:53:16 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 1871 Bytes = 1.83 kB = 0.00 MB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 51b89b31605ee62038c8468c429af091dfc75ec7 Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Configuration 1 (conf@boston) Description: Boston Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@boston Configuration 2 (conf@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 Linux Kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@ni169445 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mipsel # Build took: 0:02:05.512642
