And the initial fix was just to # add a "default" case that had a single "unreachable()", just to tell the # compiler that that situation cannot happen. # # However, that doesn't actually fix the fundamental reason for the # problem: the compiler still doesn't see that the existing case # statements enumerate all possibilities, so the compiler will still # generate code to jump to that unreachable case statement. It just won't # complain about an uninitialized variable any more. # # So now the compiler generates code to our inline asm marker that we told # it would not fall through, and end end result is basically random. We # have created a bridge to nowhere. # # And then, depending on the random details of just exactly what the # compiler ends up doing, 'objtool' might end up complaining about the # conditional branches (for conditions that cannot happen, and that thus # will never be taken - but if the compiler was not smart enough to figure # that out, we can't expect objtool to do so) going off in the weeds. # # So depending on how the compiler has laid out the result, you might see # something like this: # # drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.o: warning: objtool: do_cvt_mode() falls through to next function drm_mode_detailed.isra.0() # # and now you have a truly inscrutable warning that makes no sense at all # unless you start looking at whatever random code the compiler happened # to generate for our bare "unreachable()" statement. # # IOW, don't use "unreachable()" unless you have an _active_ operation # that generates code that actually makes it obvious that something is not # reachable (ie an UD instruction or similar). # # Solve the "compiler isn't smart enough" problem by just marking one of # the cases as "default", so that even when the compiler doesn't otherwise # see that we've enumerated all cases, the compiler will feel happy and # safe about there always being a valid case that initializes the 'width' # variable. # # This also generates better code, since now the compiler doesn't generate # comparisons for five different possibilities (the four real ones and the # one that can't happen), but just for the three real ones and "the rest" # (which is that last one). # # A smart enough compiler that sees that we cover all the cases won't care. # # Cc: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> # Cc: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin@alum.mit.edu> # Cc: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> # Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 d652d5f1eeeb06046009f4fcb9b4542249526916 # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=nds32 O=/kisskb/build/linus_nds32-allmodconfig_nds32le-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux- allmodconfig # make -s -j 120 ARCH=nds32 O=/kisskb/build/linus_nds32-allmodconfig_nds32le-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux- <stdin>:1511:2: warning: #warning syscall clone3 not implemented [-Wcpp] /kisskb/src/arch/nds32/kernel/setup.c: In function 'setup_memory': /kisskb/src/arch/nds32/kernel/setup.c:247:26: warning: unused variable 'region' [-Wunused-variable] struct memblock_region *region; ^~~~~~ /kisskb/src/drivers/input/joystick/analog.c:160:2: warning: #warning Precise timer not defined for this architecture.
