[PATCH -next v3 0/2] Remove unused variables in x86/boot
Posted by Li Zetao 3 years, 6 months ago
This series removes some unused variables in x86/boot, and add the
"-Wall" flag to Makefile, which is the old problem of x86 not sharing
makefiles.

Changes since v2:
- Add "frame-address" flag and "-std=gnu11" to 
  x86/boot/compressed/Makefile to fix warnings when "-Wall" flag added.
- Declare the variable "i" within the for loop to reslove unused 
  variable warning.
- Delete __efi_get_rsdp_addr function when CONFIG_EFI is disabled to 
  resolve unused function warning.

v2 at:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220927081512.2456624-1-lizetao1@huawei.com/

Changes since v1:
- Add "-Wall" flag to x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
- Remove unused variables "et" in efi_get_system_table() and "ret" in
  efi_get_conf_table()
- Remove unused variables "ret" in __efi_get_rsdp_addr() and
  "nr_tables" in efi_get_rsdp_addr()

Nathan suggested earlier (and I agree): please re-order these patches so
the fixes for the new warnings are first, and then turn on the compiler
flags in a final patch. This will keep the build "warning free" at all
steps.

Just a thought but you could initialize attrs now on the same line.

I also ended up testing the whole series, so:

[PATCH -next v4 2/2] x86/boot/compressed: Add "-Wall" flag to Makefile
Posted by Li Zetao 3 years, 5 months ago
Compressed/Makefile does not have "-Wall" flag, this is the old problem of
x86 not sharing makefiles. Fix by adding "-Wall" flag to Makefile. But when
"-Wall" flag added to Makefile, a few extra warnings were found.

1.
In file included from arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c:15:
  In file included from arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.h:24:
  In file included from ./include/linux/elf.h:6:
  In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/elf.h:8:
  In file included from ./include/linux/thread_info.h:60:
  ./arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:175:13: warning: calling
  "__builtin_frame_address" with a nonzero argument is unsafe
  [-Wframe-address]
    oldframe = __builtin_frame_address(1);
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

./arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:177:11: warning: calling
  "__builtin_frame_address" with a nonzero argument is unsafe
  [-Wframe-address]
    frame = __builtin_frame_address(2);
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This warning is disabled in the main Makefile for this reason so we
should just be able to disable it, adding "frame-address" flag to
Makefile.

2.
arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr.c:627:6: warning: unused variable
  "i" [-Wunused-variable]
    int i;
        ^

This happens when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE or CONFIG_ACPI are "n".
Fix by adding "-std=gnu11" flag to Makefile, and we should put
the variable "i" within the for loop.

3.
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:23:1: warning: unused function
  "__efi_get_rsdp_addr" [-Wunused-function]

This happens when CONFIG_EFI is disabled for the reason that
function "__efi_get_rsdp_addr" is only called in efi_get_rsdp_addr
when CONFIG_EFI enable. So function "__efi_get_rsdp_addr" should
not be defined when CONFIG_EFI is disabled.

Who's "we"?

Please use passive voice in your commit message: no "we" or "I", etc,
and describe your changes in imperative mood.

Also, pls read section "2) Describe your changes" in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for more details.

Also, see section "Changelog" in
Documentation/process/maintainer-tip.rst

Bottom line is: personal pronouns are ambiguous in text, especially with
so many parties/companies/etc developing the kernel so let's avoid them
please.

In any case, it is getting there but this is not how you structure a
patchset like this. The proper order is:

1st patch: Remove unused variables

2nd patch: Fix -Wframe-address warning and explain why

3rd patch: Fix arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:23:1: warning: unused function "__efi_get_rsdp_addr" [-Wunused-function]

Btw, I also get with -Wall

In function ‘find_trampoline_placement’,
    inlined from ‘paging_prepare’ at arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.c:135:35:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.c:60:30: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘short unsigned int[0]’ [-Warray-bounds]
   60 |                 ebda_start = *(unsigned short *)0x40e << 4;
      |                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.c:61:30: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘short unsigned int[0]’ [-Warray-bounds]
   61 |                 bios_start = *(unsigned short *)0x413 << 10;
      |                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In function ‘bios_get_rsdp_addr’,
    inlined from ‘get_rsdp_addr’ at arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:163:8:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:130:19: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘u16[0]’ {aka ‘short unsigned int[]’} [-Warray-bounds]
  130 |         address = *(u16 *)ACPI_EBDA_PTR_LOCATION;

That should be a separate patch too.

Nth patch(es): Fix more warnings after building at least

	"allnoconfig" "defconfig" "allmodconfig" "allyesconfig"

for both 32-bit and 64-bit. A bunch of randconfigs on a big machine
would help a lot.

N + kth patch: Add -std=gnu11

X. Final patch: Add -Wall to compressed/Makefile.

In that order so that no warnings are seen when doing random builds.

Thx.

I gave this a quick spin with clang to ensure that I didn't observe
new warnings produced via -Wall:

$ make LLVM=1 -j128 -s defconfig all
$ make LLVM=1 ARCH=i386 -j128 -s defconfig all
