[PATCH v6 06/11] target/arm: Factor out code for setting MTE TCF0 field
Posted by Gustavo Romero 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Factor out the code used for setting the MTE TCF0 field from the prctl
code into a convenient function. Other subsystems, like gdbstub, need to
set this field as well, so keep it as a separate function to avoid
duplication and ensure consistency in how this field is set across the
board.

Aside from missing the osdep Phillipe pointed out including prctl.h here
is very suspect as its a system header. I assume if we need
PR_MTE_TCF_SYNC we should hoist the definition that linux-user uses into
a common header.

Other .c files include <sys/prctl.h> for other PR_ definitions. For example,
syscall.c and elfload.c. Is this really a problem? I see that would be a
problem when trying to build, for instance, aarch64-linux-user target on a
BSD host, but we don't support it. Building *-linux-user target is only
supported on Linux host, no?


Cheers,
Gustavo

If your building on an arch that doesn't natively have MTE but you'll
run an aarch64 linux-user guest.

True, but multiple libcs. Anyway I've fixed up and posted the maintainer
tree.

Yes, I saw your comment in v5 about it, I haven't ignored it, I just wanted to
publish v6 updating the parts we reached out a consensus.

I thought you meant osdep.h should not be included _at all_ in my case, either
in mte_user_helper.h or in mte_user_helper.c. Maybe the wording in the docs
should be "Do not include "qemu/osdep.h" from header files. Include it from .c
files, when necessary.".

I think we agree osdep.h is necessary and must be put in mte_user_helper.c. But
that left me wondering how it would work for sources including mte_user_helper.h,
because it can be the case they don't have the declarations for the types used in
the function prototypes, in this case, for CPUArchState and abi_long types in
arm_set_mte_tcf0. It just happens that gdbstub64.c, that includes this header file,
actually includes osdep.h at the top of includes, so all good, but how about other
types not provided by the osdep.h, they would have to be included in the .c that
defines the function (in this case mte_user_helper.c) and also in the .h that
includes the function prototype (in this case gdbstub64.c) anyways, which is the
case of abi_long type, which is not provided by osdep.h, for instance. Luckily,
gdbstub64.c also includes cpu.h, so for abi_long it's fine also, but is a tad odd
to me. Anyways, see my code suggestion below.

It resolves the abi_long declaration, yes, but then it fails to resolve MMU_USER_IDX.
I think one level up of include works, so how about cpu.h? cpu.h works.

So, how about:

Not "when necessary", always, and always first.

See the "Include directives" section of docs/devel/style.rst, which does explicitly say 
'Do not include "qemu/osdep.h" from header files'.

CPUArchState will come from qemu/typedefs.h via osdep.h.

For this particular function, 'int' would have been enough,
since we only care about the low two bits.

Got it!

Yep, Phil pointed out this doc when we were discussing it in v5.
I was actually referring to it about the wording. Maybe then it should
be more explicitly that osdep.h _always_ has to be present.

Re-reading it after your clarifications makes it clear, but the first time
Phil pointed it out the phrases:

"[...] since the .c file will have already included it." and
"Headers should normally include everything they need beyond osdep.h."

weren't enough to me to make it clear that osdep.h must always be included
(present) in the .c files. "will have already included" sounded ambiguous to
me, more like, if necessary it would have already be included in .c (but not
always). But, well, that can be a falt in my interpretation..

Thanks a lot for the clarification.

hmm, right. I'll send a follow up patch to improve it since Alex already picked up
the series to gdbstub/next. Thanks!

Yeah, the rule is simple:
 * .c files always include osdep.h, and it comes first
 * .h files never include osdep.h

but the wording in the developer docs doesn't manage to
state that exactly.
