Subject: [RFC 0/6] powerpc/mm: Enable clang context analysis
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 16:14:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1790590014.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
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 a real locking rcu bug in arch/powerpc/mm
(Patch-1). Note, more invasive checkers to check what each lock protects
is deferred for later enablement.
This is based on top of previous powerpc/powernv,pseries Clang context analysis
enablement series [3].
The series was build tested with LLVM/Clang 23.x
[1] 5b63d0ae94cc ("compiler-context-analysis: Remove Sparse support")
[2] 3269701cb256 ("compiler-context-analysis: Add infrastructure for Context Analysis with Clang")
