Hi Christophe,

First bad commit (maybe != root cause):

tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
head:   1140ab592e2ebf8153d2b322604031a8868ce7a5
commit: eacf4c0202654adfa94bbb17b5c5c77c0be14af8 powerpc: Enable OPTPROBES on PPC32

Ok, the problem appears on PPC32 with that patch, but it must have been there on PPC64 since the
implementation of optprobes with commit 51c9c0843993 ("powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes")


date:   3 weeks ago
config: powerpc-randconfig-r033-20210511 (attached as .config)
compiler: clang version 13.0.0 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project
a0fed635fe1701470062495a6ffee1c608f3f1bc)

A clang issue ?


reproduce (this is a W=1 build):
         wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/lkp-tests/master/sbin/make.cross -O
~/bin/make.cross
         chmod +x ~/bin/make.cross
         # install powerpc cross compiling tool for clang build
         # apt-get install binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu

         git remote add linus https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
         git fetch --no-tags linus master

All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):

arch/powerpc/kernel/optprobes.c:34:1: error: unused function 'is_kprobe_ppc_optinsn_slot'
[-Werror,-Wunused-function]
    DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS(ppc_optinsn);
    ^
    include/linux/kprobes.h:306:20: note: expanded from macro 'DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS'
    static inline bool is_kprobe_##__name##_slot(unsigned long addr)        \

That's a 'static inline', shouldn't generate an 'unused function' warning.
This is a W=1 build, which means that "inline" does not silence unused function warnings with
clang because of commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline functions
for W=1 build").

Ok, I didn't know that.

After looking at it in more details, I don't really know what should be done to avoid that.

Ah, thanks for reporting!


This unused function is defined as part of DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS(ppc_optinsn).

The code uses other items defined by macro DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS, so it cannot be removed.

Solution could be to hide that in a .h, but is that worth it ?

The best solution is to remove ppc_optinsn, but that is defined in kernel/kprobes.c
just because page allocation is different.
I think the easiest fix is to add weak alloc_optinsn_page() and override it
in arch/powerpc/kernel/optprobe.c.

Please try this patch.

Thank you,


Yeah, look pretty similar to the two patches I sent 30 minutes ago.

Is this still needed ? It looks like it is already done by init_kprobes() in kernel/kprobes.c

nip = can_optimize(p);
