powerpc/bug: Cast to unsigned long before passing to inline asm
In commit 1e688dd2a3d6 ("powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto") we changed WARN_ON(). Previously it would take the warning condition, x, and double negate it before converting the result to int, and passing that int to the underlying inline asm. ie: #define WARN_ON(x) ({ int __ret_warn_on = !!(x); if (__builtin_constant_p(__ret_warn_on)) { ... } else { BUG_ENTRY(PPC_TLNEI " %4, 0", BUGFLAG_WARNING | BUGFLAG_TAINT(TAINT_WARN), "r" (__ret_warn_on)); The asm then does a full register width comparison with zero and traps if it is non-zero (PPC_TLNEI). The new code instead passes the full expression, x, with some arbitrary type, to the inline asm: #define WARN_ON(x) ({ ... do { if (__builtin_constant_p((x))) { ... } else { ... WARN_ENTRY(PPC_TLNEI " %4, 0", BUGFLAG_WARNING | BUGFLAG_TAINT(TAINT_WARN), __label_warn_on, "r" (x)); As reported[1] by Nathan, when building with clang this can cause spurious warnings to fire repeatedly at boot: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at lib/klist.c:62 .klist_add_tail+0x3c/0x110 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G W 5.14.0-rc7-next-20210825 #1 NIP: c0000000007ff81c LR: c00000000090a038 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c0000000073c32a0 TRAP: 0700 Tainted: G W (5.14.0-rc7-next-20210825) MSR: 8000000002029032 <SF,VEC,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI> CR: 22000a40 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c00000000090a034 IRQMASK: 0 GPR00: c00000000090a038 c0000000073c3540 c000000001be3200 0000000000000001 GPR04: c0000000072d65c0 0000000000000000 c0000000091ba798 c0000000091bb0a0 GPR08: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 c000000008581918 fffffffffffffc00 GPR12: 0000000044000240 c000000001dd0000 c000000000012300 0000000000000000 GPR16: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 GPR20: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 GPR24: 0000000000000000 c0000000017e3200 0000000000000000 c000000001a0e778 GPR28: c0000000072d65b0 c0000000072d65a8 c000000007de72c8 c0000000073c35d0 NIP .klist_add_tail+0x3c/0x110 LR .bus_add_driver+0x148/0x290 Call Trace: 0xc0000000073c35d0 (unreliable) .bus_add_driver+0x148/0x290 .driver_register+0xb8/0x190 .__hid_register_driver+0x70/0xd0 .redragon_driver_init+0x34/0x58 .do_one_initcall+0x130/0x3b0 .do_initcall_level+0xd8/0x188 .do_initcalls+0x7c/0xdc .kernel_init_freeable+0x178/0x21c .kernel_init+0x34/0x220 .ret_from_kernel_thread+0x58/0x60 Instruction dump: fba10078 7c7d1b78 38600001 fb810070 3b9d0008 fbc10080 7c9e2378 389d0018 fb9d0008 fb9d0010 90640000 fbdd0000 <0b1e0000> e87e0018 28230000 41820024 The instruction dump shows that we are trapping because r30 is not zero: tdnei r30,0 Where r30 = c000000007de72c8 The WARN_ON() comes from: static void knode_set_klist(struct klist_node *knode, struct klist *klist) { knode->n_klist = klist; /* no knode deserves to start its life dead */ WARN_ON(knode_dead(knode)); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Where: #define KNODE_DEAD 1LU static bool knode_dead(struct klist_node *knode) { return (unsigned long)knode->n_klist & KNODE_DEAD; } The full disassembly shows that clang has not generated any code to apply the "& KNODE_DEAD" to the n_klist pointer, which is surprising. Nathan filed an LLVM bug [2], in which Eli Friedman explained that clang believes it is only passing a single bit to the asm (ie. a bool) and so the mask of bit 0 with 1 can be omitted, and suggested that if we want the full 64-bit value passed to the inline asm we should cast to a 64-bit type (or 32-bit on 32-bits). In fact we already do that for BUG_ENTRY(), which was added to fix a possibly similar bug in 2005 in commit 32818c2eb6b8 ("[PATCH] ppc64: Fix issue with gcc 4.0 compiled kernels"). So cast the value we pass to the inline asm to long. For GCC this appears to have no effect on code generation, other than causing sign extension in some cases.
