[PATCH v2] sched: Fix compiler warnings

[PATCH v2] sched: Fix compiler warnings

[Guenter Roeck]

Commit 143e1e28cb (sched: Rework sched_domain topology definition)
introduced a number of functions with a return value of 'const int'.
gcc doesn't know what to do with that and, if the kernel is compiled
with W=1, complains with the following warnings whenever sched.h
is included.

include/linux/sched.h:875:25: warning:
	type qualifiers ignored on function return type
include/linux/sched.h:882:25: warning:
	type qualifiers ignored on function return type
include/linux/sched.h:889:25: warning:
	type qualifiers ignored on function return type
include/linux/sched.h:1002:21: warning:
	type qualifiers ignored on function return type

Commits fb2aa855 (sched, ARM: Create a dedicated scheduler topology table)
and 607b45e9a (sched, powerpc: Create a dedicated topology table) introduce
the same warning in the arm and powerpc code.

Drop 'const' from the function declarations to fix the problem.

The fix for all three patches has to be applied together to avoid
compilation failures for the affected architectures.

Maybe the author's intention was:

	static inline int cpu_corepower_flags(void) __attribute__((const));

?
This specifies that the function has no side effects and the return value
only depends on the (here non-existing) function arguments.

You need to do a separate declaration:

	static inline int cpu_corepower_flags(void) __attribute__((const));
	static inline int cpu_corepower_flags(void)
	{
		...

Does this help?

You need to do a separate declaration:

	static inline int cpu_corepower_flags(void) __attribute__((const));
	static inline int cpu_corepower_flags(void)
	{
		...

Does this help?

Actually turns out one can use __attribute_const__, and it is

	static inline int __attribute_const__ cpu_corepower_flags(void)

which turns out to be widely used.

I'll change that and resubmit after testing.

You don't need to tell the compiler that for an inline function.

I didn't check for the functions in question here, but in general your
statement is wrong.

For example:

static inline unsigned int __attribute_const__ read_cpuid_id(void)
{
	return readl(BASEADDR_V7M_SCB + V7M_SCB_CPUID);
}

from arch/arm/include/asm/cputype.h. The V7M_SCB_CPUID register never
changes, but there is no way gcc can deduce that.

Uwe

Hmm... it all rather depends on the order of the optimisations and=20
inlining.

I've tried to use 'restrict' on the parameters to an inline function
in an attempt to get 'noalias' - but the reverse inference never
seems to be applied.

Sigh. As I mentioned earlier, it is much easier to introduce a problem
than to fix it.

Ok, I'll leave this alone. I already spent much more time on this than
I should or have, so it is really time to move on.

The only reference to this function is to take its address, so "inline"

The same is true of those three, but then they would have to be moved
into a .c file and replaced with prototypes ...

The only reference to this function is to take its address, so "inline"
is useless, right?

The same is true of those three, but then they would have to be moved
into a .c file and replaced with prototypes ...

Personally I wasn't sure why it had to be functions instead of defines,
but who knows. Anyway, seems others are not happy with my proposed fix
either, and everyone seems to suggest a different solution, so I guess
it won't go anywhere.

I "solved" my immediate problem of getting a polluted build log by
filtering the warnings out, so I don't really care too much anymore ;-).

sched: Fix compiler warnings

Commit 143e1e28cb (sched: Rework sched_domain topology definition)
introduced a number of functions with a return value of 'const int'.
gcc doesn't know what to do with that and, if the kernel is compiled
with W=1, complains with the following warnings whenever sched.h
is included.

  include/linux/sched.h:875:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
  include/linux/sched.h:882:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
  include/linux/sched.h:889:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
  include/linux/sched.h:1002:21: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type

Commits fb2aa855 (sched, ARM: Create a dedicated scheduler topology table)
and 607b45e9a (sched, powerpc: Create a dedicated topology table) introduce
the same warning in the arm and powerpc code.

Drop 'const' from the function declarations to fix the problem.

The fix for all three patches has to be applied together to avoid
compilation failures for the affected architectures.
