[PATCH] random: vDSO: Fix shadow declarations
Posted by shao.mingyin@zte.com.cn 8 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Peng Jiang <jiang.peng9@zte.com.cn>

Compiling the kernel with gcc12.3 W=2 produces a warning:
In file included from linux-next/lib/vdso/getrandom.c:10,
                 from <command-line>:

note: in expansion of macro 'MEMCPY_AND_ZERO_SRC'

To reproduce the issue before applying the patch:
make defconfig ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-
make vmlinux ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- W=2

The existing implementation of the __get_unaligned_t and __put_unaligned_t
macros in include/vdso/unaligned.h uses a local variable named '__pptr'
which can lead to variable shadowing when these macros are used in
the same scope. This results in a -Wshadow warning during compilation.

To address this issue, we have renamed the local variables within
the macros to ensure uniqueness:
- In __get_unaligned_t, '__pptr' has been renamed to '__get_pptr'.
- In __put_unaligned_t, '__pptr' has been renamed to '__put_pptr'.

These changes prevent variable shadowing and eliminate the
-Wshadow warning, improving code readability and maintainability.

vdso: Address variable shadowing in macros

Compiling the kernel with gcc12.3 W=2 results in shadowing warnings:

warning: declaration of '__pptr' shadows a previous local [-Wshadow]
  const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr);

note: in definition of macro '__put_unaligned_t'
  __pptr->x = (val);

note: in expansion of macro '__get_unaligned_t'
  __put_unaligned_t(type, __get_unaligned_t(type, src), dst);

__get_unaligned_t() and __put_unaligned_t() use a local variable named
'__pptr', which can lead to variable shadowing when these macros are used in
the same scope. This results in a -Wshadow warning during compilation.

To address this issue, rename the local variables within the macros to
ensure uniqueness.
