Subject: [RFC 00/12] powerpc/pseries,powernv: Enable clang context analysis
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 20:03:41 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1790517984.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
Enable Clang context analysis checking for PowerPC pseries & powernv platforms.
Lock acquire and release checking used to be done with Sparse. That support was
removed [1] and replaced with Clang context analysis [2].
Note that enabling this caught few real locking races in arch/powerpc/mm.
However, the fixes for those and enablement for the rest of the subsystems will
be done in a follow up patch series. Also the more invasive checkers to check
what each lock protects is again deferred for later enablement.
The series was build tested with Clang 23.x
