x86 - clang / objtool status

[Thomas Gleixner]

Folks,

after picking up Josh's objtool updates I gave clang a test ride again.

clan is built with https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/tc-build.git

That's using the llvm master branch. top commit is:

  0c99d19470b ("[OPENMP]Fix sharing of threadprivate variables with TLS support.")

I merged

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git core/urgent

into the tip of Linus tree to pick up the latest objtool changes.

Here are the results for different configs:

1) defconfig

 objtool warnings:

  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x88: redundant UACCESS disable


2) debian distro config

 objtool warnings:

  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/atom.o: warning: objtool: atom_op_move() falls through to next function atom_op_and()
  drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/platform.o: warning: objtool: tune_serdes() falls through to next function apply_tx_lanes()
  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x86: redundant UACCESS disable
  drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/evergreen_cs.o: warning: objtool: evergreen_cs_parse() falls through to next function evergreen_dma_cs_parse()

 Build fails with:

  clang-10: error: unknown argument: '-mpreferred-stack-boundary=4'
  make[5]: *** [linux/scripts/Makefile.build:279: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dcn20/dcn20_resource.o] Error 1


3) allmodconfig:

 Build fails with:

 This also emits a boatload of warnings like this:

  linux/fs/nfs/dir.c:451:34: warning: variable 'wq' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization
      [-Wuninitialized]
        DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_ONSTACK(wq);
                                        ^~

        struct wait_queue_head name = __WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INIT_ONSTACK(name)
                               ~~~~                                  ^~~~
  linux/include/linux/wait.h:72:33: note: expanded from macro '__WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INIT_ONSTACK'
        ({ init_waitqueue_head(&name); name; })

Thanks,
