sparc64: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-08T01:49:04+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

sparc: Replace cpu_up/down() with add/remove_cpu()

2020-03-25T11:59:36+00:00

The core device API performs extra housekeeping bits that are missing from directly calling cpu_up/down(). See commit a6717c01ddc2 ("powerpc/rtas: use device model APIs and serialization during LPM") for an example description of what might go wrong. This also prepares to make cpu_up/down() a private interface of the CPU subsystem. Signed-off-by: Qais Yousef Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: David S.

treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively

2019-04-09T12:19:06+00:00

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users to use the preferred variant. The changes have been produced by the following command: git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^$tools\|Documentation$/' | \ while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done And verifying the result.

sparc64: Fix buggy strlcpy() conversion in ldom_reboot().

2013-09-27T20:46:04+00:00

Commit 117a0c5fc9c2d06045bd217385b2b39ea426b5a6 ("sparc: kernel: using strlcpy() instead of strcpy()") added a bug to ldom_reboot in arch/sparc/kernel/ds.c - strcpy(full_boot_str + strlen("boot "), boot_command); + strlcpy(full_boot_str + strlen("boot "), boot_command, + sizeof(full_boot_str + strlen("boot "))); That last sizeof() expression evaluates to sizeof(size_t) which is not what was intended. Also even the corrected: sizeof(full_boot_str) + strlen("boot ") is not right as the destination buffer length is just plain "sizeof(full_boot_str)" and that's what the final argument should be.

sparc: delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from all users

2013-07-14T23:36:52+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/sparc uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files and removes __CPUINIT from assembly files. Note that even though arch/sparc/kernel/trampoline_64.S has instances of ".previous" in it, they are all paired off against explicit ".section" directives, and not implicitly paired with __CPUINIT (unlike mips and arm were).
