kbuild: Move -Wenum-enum-conversion to W=2

2025-03-13T11:43:09Z

commit 8f6629c004b193d23612641c3607e785819e97ab upstream. -Wenum-enum-conversion was strengthened in clang-19 to warn for C, which caused the kernel to move it to W=1 in commit 75b5ab134bb5 ("kbuild: Move -Wenum-{compare-conditional,enum-conversion} into W=1") because there were numerous instances that would break builds with -Werror. Unfortunately, this is not a full solution, as more and more developers, subsystems, and distributors are building with W=1 as well, so they continue to see the numerous instances of this warning. Since the move to W=1, there have not been many new instances that have appeared through various build reports and the ones that have appeared seem to be following similar existing patterns, suggesting that most instances of this warning will not be real issues. The only alternatives for silencing this warning are adding casts (which is generally seen as an ugly practice) or refactoring the enums to macro defines or a unified enum (which may be undesirable because of type safety in other parts of the code). Move the warning to W=2, where warnings that occur frequently but may be relevant should reside.

kbuild: Move -Wenum-{compare-conditional,enum-conversion} into W=1

2024-04-13T10:51:26Z

[ Upstream commit 75b5ab134bb5f657ef7979a59106dce0657e8d87 ] Clang enables -Wenum-enum-conversion and -Wenum-compare-conditional under -Wenum-conversion. A recent change in Clang strengthened these warnings and they appear frequently in common builds, primarily due to several instances in common headers but there are quite a few drivers that have individual instances as well. include/linux/vmstat.h:508:43: warning: arithmetic between different enumeration types ('enum zone_stat_item' and 'enum numa_stat_item') [-Wenum-enum-conversion] 508 | return vmstat_text[NR_VM_ZONE_STAT_ITEMS + | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ 509 | item]; | ~~~~ drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac-ctxt.c:955:24: warning: conditional expression between different enumeration types ('enum iwl_mac_beacon_flags' and 'enum iwl_mac_beacon_flags_v1') [-Wenum-compare-conditional] 955 | flags |= is_new_rate ?

Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there are many instances of this warning in many different configurations, which can break the build when CONFIG_WERROR is enabled. To avoid introducing new instances of the warnings while cleaning up the disruption for the majority of users, disable these warnings for the default build while leaving them on for W=1 builds.

Makefile.extrawarn: Move -Wcast-function-type-strict to W=1

2022-10-07T07:16:57Z

commit 2120635108b35ecad9c59c8b44f6cbdf4f98214e upstream. We enable -Wcast-function-type globally in the kernel to warn about mismatching types in function pointer casts. Compilers currently warn only about ABI incompability with this flag, but Clang 16 will enable a stricter version of the check by default that checks for an exact type match. This will be very noisy in the kernel, so disable -Wcast-function-type-strict without W=1 until the new warnings have been addressed.

Makefile.extrawarn: Move -Wunaligned-access to W=1

2022-02-23T10:59:54Z

commit 1cf5f151d25fcca94689efd91afa0253621fb33a upstream. -Wunaligned-access is a new warning in clang that is default enabled for arm and arm64 under certain circumstances within the clang frontend (see LLVM commit below). On v5.17-rc2, an ARCH=arm allmodconfig build shows 1284 total/70 unique instances of this warning (most of the instances are in header files), which is quite noisy. To keep a normal build green through CONFIG_WERROR, only show this warning with W=1, which will allow automated build systems to catch new instances of the warning so that the total number can be driven down to zero eventually since catching unaligned accesses at compile time would be generally useful.

kbuild: Disable -Wpointer-to-enum-cast

2020-03-25T07:25:54Z

commit 82f2bc2fcc0160d6f82dd1ac64518ae0a4dd183f upstream. Clang's -Wpointer-to-int-cast deviates from GCC in that it warns when casting to enums. The kernel does this in certain places, such as device tree matches to set the version of the device being used, which allows the kernel to avoid using a gigantic union. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/drivers/ata/ahci_brcm.c#L428 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/drivers/ata/ahci_brcm.c#L402 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h#L264 To avoid a ton of false positive warnings, disable this particular part of the warning, which has been split off into a separate diagnostic so that the entire warning does not need to be turned off for clang. It will be visible under W=1 in case people want to go about fixing these easily and enabling the warning treewide.

kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline functions for W=1 build

2019-09-09T14:55:43Z

GCC and Clang have different policy for -Wunused-function; GCC does not warn unused static inline functions at all whereas Clang does if they are defined in source files instead of included headers although it has been suppressed since commit abb2ea7dfd82 ("compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions"). We often miss to delete unused functions where 'static inline' is used in *.c files since there is no tool to detect them. Unused code remains until somebody notices. For example, commit 075ddd75680f ("regulator: core: remove unused rdev_get_supply()"). Let's remove __maybe_unused from the inline macro to allow Clang to start finding unused static inline functions. For now, we do this only for W=1 build since it is not a good idea to sprinkle warnings for the normal build (e.g. 35 warnings for arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig). My initial attempt was to add -Wno-unused-function for no W= build (https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1120594/) Nathan Chancellor pointed out that would weaken Clang's checks since we would no longer get -Wunused-function without W=1. It is true GCC would catch unused static non-inline functions, but it would weaken Clang as a standalone compiler, at least. Hence, here is a counter implementation. The current problem is, W=... only controls compiler flags, which are globally effective. There is no way to address only 'static inline' functions. This commit defines KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN[123] corresponding to W=[123]. When KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN1 is defined, __maybe_unused is omitted from the 'inline' macro. The new macro __inline_maybe_unused makes the code a bit uglier, so I hope we can remove it entirely after fixing most of the warnings. If you contribute to code clean-up, please run "make CC=clang W=1" and check -Wunused-function warnings. You will find lots of unused functions. Some of them are false-positives because the call-sites are disabled by #ifdef. I do not like to abuse the inline keyword for suppressing unused-function warnings because it is intended to be a hint for the compiler optimization. I prefer #ifdef around the definition, or __maybe_unused if #ifdef would make the code too ugly. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor

kbuild: rename KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS to KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN

2019-09-06T14:46:52Z

KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS started as a switch to add extra warning options for GCC, but now it is a historical misnomer since we use it also for Clang, DTC, and even kernel-doc. Rename it to more sensible, shorter KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN. For the backward compatibility, KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS is still supported (but not advertised in the documentation). I also fixed up 'make help', and updated the documentation. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Reviewed-by: Sedat Dilek

kbuild: refactor scripts/Makefile.extrawarn

2019-09-06T14:46:52Z

Instead of the warning-[123] magic, let's accumulate compiler options to KBUILD_CFLAGS directly as the top Makefile does. I think this makes it easier to understand what is going on in this file. This commit slightly changes the behavior, I think all of which are OK. [1] Currently, cc-option calls are needlessly evaluated. For example, warning-3 += $(call cc-option, -Wpacked-bitfield-compat) needs evaluating only when W=3, but it is actually evaluated for W=1, W=2 as well. With this commit, only relevant cc-option calls will be evaluated. This is a slight optimization. [2] Currently, unsupported level like W=4 is checked by: $(error W=$(KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS) is unknown) This will no longer be checked, but I do not think it is a big deal. [3] Currently, 4 Clang warnings (Winitializer-overrides, Wformat, Wsign-compare, Wformat-zero-length) are shown by any of W=1, W=2, and W=3. With this commit, they will be warned only by W=1. I think this is a more correct behavior since each warning belongs to only one group. For understanding this commit correctly: We have 3 warning groups, W=1, W=2, and W=3. You may think W=3 has a higher level than W=1, but they are actually independent. If you like, you can combine them like W=13. To enable all the warnings, you can pass W=123. It is shown by 'make help', but not noticed much. Since we support W= combination, there should not exist intersection among the three groups. If we enable Winitializer-overrides for W=1, we do not need to for W=2 or W=3. This is the reason why I think the change [3] makes sense. The documentation says -Winitializer-overrides is enabled by default. (https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#winitializer-overrides) We negate it by passing -Wno-initializer-overrides for the normal build, but we do not do that for W=1. This means, W=1 effectively enables -Winitializer-overrides by the clang's default. The same for the other three. Add comments in case people are confused with the code.

kbuild: Remove unnecessary -Wno-unused-value

2019-06-23T18:43:03Z

This flag turns off several other warnings that would be useful. Most notably -warn_unused_result is disabled. All of the following warnings are currently disabled: UnusedValue |-UnusedComparison |-warn_unused_comparison |-UnusedResult |-warn_unused_result |-UnevaluatedExpression |-PotentiallyEvaluatedExpression |-warn_side_effects_typeid |-warn_side_effects_unevaluated_context |-warn_unused_expr |-warn_unused_voidptr |-warn_unused_container_subscript_expr |-warn_unused_call With this flag removed there are ~10 warnings. Patches have been submitted for each of these warnings.

kbuild: Enable -Wuninitialized

2019-06-23T18:43:03Z

This helps fine very dodgy behavior through both -Wuninitialized (warning that a variable is always uninitialized) and -Wsometimes-uninitialized (warning that a variable is sometimes uninitialized, like GCC's -Wmaybe-uninitialized). These warnings catch things that GCC doesn't such as: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/86649ee4-9794-77a3-502c-f4cd10019c36@lca.pw/ We very much want to catch these so turn this warning on so that CI is aware of it.
