It made the code clearer, # and it seemed to make gcc happy. # # However, Arnd points to a gcc bug, where despite using two different # members of a union, gcc then gets confused, and uses the size of one of # the members to decide if a string overrun happens. And not necessarily # the rigth one. # # End result: with some configurations, gcc-11 will still complain about # the source buffer size being overread: # # fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function 'qnx4_readdir': # fs/qnx4/dir.c:76:32: error: 'strnlen' specified bound [16, 48] exceeds source size 1 [-Werror=stringop-overread] # 76 | size = strnlen(name, size); # | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # fs/qnx4/dir.c:26:22: note: source object declared here # 26 | char de_name; # | ^~~~~~~ # # because gcc will get confused about which union member entry is actually # getting accessed, even when the source code is very clear about it. Gcc # internally will have combined two "redundant" pointers (pointing to # different union elements that are at the same offset), and takes the # size checking from one or the other - not necessarily the right one. # # This is clearly a gcc bug, but we can work around it fairly easily. The # biggest thing here is the big honking comment about why we do what we # do. # # Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99578#c6 # Reported-and-tested-by: Arnd Bergmann # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 d5f6545934c47e97c0b48a645418e877b452a992 # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- ppc44x_defconfig # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:01:11.541215
