[for-next PATCH v2] tracing: wprobe: Fix to use IS_ERR_PCPU() for per-cpu pointer
Posted by Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 2 months, 1 week ago

Since wprobe uses IS_ERR() for per-cpu pointer, it failed to build.

/tmp/next/build/kernel/trace/trace_wprobe.c: In function '__register_trace_wprobe':
/tmp/next/build/kernel/trace/trace_wprobe.c:176:20: error: cast to generic address space pointer from disjoint '__seg_gs' address space pointer [-Werror]
  176 |         if (IS_ERR((void * __force)tw->bp_event)) {
      |                    ^
/tmp/next/build/kernel/trace/trace_wprobe.c:177:35: error: cast to generic address space pointer from disjoint '__seg_gs' address space pointer [-Werror]
  177 |                 int ret = PTR_ERR((void * __force)tw->bp_event);
      |                                   ^

Use IS_ERR_PCPU() instead.

 - Confirmed that `make allmodconfig && make` passed on x86_64 and arm64.
 Changes in v2:
 - Remove unneeded casting.
 - Use PTR_ERR_PCPU() too.

This version LGTM.

Thank you! Let me push it in probes/for-next.
