[BUG] vhost: perf tools build error after syncing vhost.h
Posted by Namhyung Kim 5 months, 3 weeks ago 
Hello,

I was sync'ing perf tools copy of kernel sources to apply recent
changes.  But there's a build error when it converts vhost ioctl
commands due to a conflicting slot like below.

  In file included from trace/beauty/ioctl.c:93:
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/generated/ioctl/vhost_virtio_ioctl_array.c: In function ‘ioctl__scnprintf_vhost_virtio_cmd’:
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/generated/ioctl/vhost_virtio_ioctl_array.c:36:18: error: initialized field overwritten [-Werror=override-init]
     36 |         [0x83] = "SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER",
        |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/generated/ioctl/vhost_virtio_ioctl_array.c:36:18: note: (near initialization for ‘vhost_virtio_ioctl_cmds[131]’)
  
I think the following changes both added entries to 0x83.

  7d9896e9f6d02d8a vhost: Reintroduce kthread API and add mode selection
  333c515d189657c9 vhost-net: allow configuring extended features

The below patch fixes it for me.

Thanks,
Namhyung

Would you want to send a formal patch for this?

[PATCH] vhost: Fix ioctl # for VHOST_[GS]ET_FORK_FROM_OWNER
Posted by Namhyung Kim 5 months, 3 weeks ago 
The VHOST_[GS]ET_FEATURES_ARRAY ioctl already took 0x83 and it would
result in a build error when the vhost uapi header is used for perf tool
build like below.

  In file included from trace/beauty/ioctl.c:93:
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/generated/ioctl/vhost_virtio_ioctl_array.c: In function ‘ioctl__scnprintf_vhost_virtio_cmd’:
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/generated/ioctl/vhost_virtio_ioctl_array.c:36:18: error: initialized field overwritten [-Werror=override-init]
     36 |         [0x83] = "SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER",
        |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/generated/ioctl/vhost_virtio_ioctl_array.c:36:18: note: (near initialization for ‘vhost_virtio_ioctl_cmds[131]’)

I haven't looked at this specific case in detail, but in the past the
synchronization of tools/ copies did catch things like this, yes :-)
