Subject: [PATCH] csky: Implement _THIS_IP_ using inline asm
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:51:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925115128.362186-1-elver@google.com> (raw)
Both GCC [1] and Clang [2] consider the generic version of _THIS_IP_ to
be broken:
#define _THIS_IP_ ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&&__here; })
In particular, the address of a label is only expected to be used with a
computed goto.
While the generic version more or less works today, it is known to be
brittle and may break with current and future optimizations. For
example, Clang -O2 always returns 1 when this function is inlined:
static inline unsigned long get_ip(void)
{ return ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&&__here; }); }
Fix it by overriding _THIS_IP_ in <asm/linkage.h> (which is included by
<linux/instruction_pointer.h>) using an architecture-specific inline asm
version.
This also fixes this GCC ICE [3]:
sound/core/oss/mixer_oss.c: In function 'snd_mixer_oss_proc_write':
sound/core/oss/mixer_oss.c:1202:1: error: could not split insn
