[PATCH] iommupt/amdv1: avoid GCOV builds triggering FIELD_PREP build failure

From: Sherry Yang

Date: Tue Mar 10 2026 - 12:33:31 EST


After enabling CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL and CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, following
build failure is observed:

In function 'amdv1pt_install_leaf_entry',
inlined from '__do_map_single_page' at drivers/iommu/generic_pt/fmt/../iommu_pt.h:650:3,
inlined from '__map_single_page0' at drivers/iommu/generic_pt/fmt/../iommu_pt.h:661:1,

././include/linux/compiler_types.h:706:45: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_71' declared with attribute error: FIELD_PREP: value too large for the field
706 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__)

......

drivers/iommu/generic_pt/fmt/amdv1.h:220:26: note: in expansion of macro 'FIELD_PREP'
220 | FIELD_PREP(AMDV1PT_FMT_OA,
| ^~~~~~~~~~

In the path '__do_map_single_page()', level 0 always invokes
'pt_install_leaf_entry(&pts, map->oa, PAGE_SHIFT, …)'. At runtime that
lands in the 'if (oasz_lg2 == isz_lg2)' arm of 'amdv1pt_install_leaf_entry()';
the contiguous-only 'else' block is unreachable for 4 KiB pages.

With CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL + CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, the extra
instrumentation changes GCC's inlining so that the "dead" 'else' branch
still gets instantiated. The compiler constant-folds the contiguous OA
expression, runs the 'FIELD_PREP()' compile-time check, and produces:

FIELD_PREP: value too large for the field

gcov-enabled builds therefore fail even though the code path never executes.

Fix this by keeping the compile-time guard on the NEXT_LEVEL field but
encoding the OA field manually after a runtime 'FIELD_FIT()' check. We
shift-and-mask the value ourselves, so the compiler no longer evaluates
'FIELD_PREP(AMDV1PT_FMT_OA, …)' with constant inputs, while we preserve
the range validation and resulting bit pattern.
