[BUG] [5.15] Compilation error in arch/x86/kvm/mmu/spte.h with clang-14

[torvic9]

I encounter the following issue when compiling 5.15-rc4 with clang-14:

In file included from arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c:27:
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/spte.h:318:9: error: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Werror,-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical]
        return __is_bad_mt_xwr(rsvd_check, spte) |

                                                 ||
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/spte.h:318:9: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning

(no issue with gcc-11)

The warning is wrong, as mentioned in the line right above:

         /*
          * Use a bitwise-OR instead of a logical-OR to aggregate the reserved
          * bits and EPT's invalid memtype/XWR checks to avoid an extra Jcc
          * (this is extremely unlikely to be short-circuited as true).
          */

So it's an issue with clang-14 then?

My clang here doesn't have the option, so I'm going to ask---are you 
using W=1?  I can see why clang is warning for KVM's code, but in my 
opinion such a check should only be in -Wextra.

I don't use any options (not that I'm aware of).

Probably the cause for this bug is this recent llvm commit:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/f59cc9542bfb461d16ad12b2cc4be4abbfd9d96e

This is a newly added warning in top of tree clang.

Casting the bool to an int doesn't seem that onerous.

Alternatively, could we just change both of the functions to return u64?
I understand that they are being used in boolean contexts only but it
seems like this would make it clear that a boolean or bitwise operator
on them is acceptable.

If we want to fix this, my vote is for casting to an int and updating the comment
in is_rsvd_spte().  I think I'd vote to fix this?  IIRC KVM has had bitwise goofs
in the past that manifested as real bugs, it would be nice to turn this on.

Or maybe add a macro to handle this?  E.g.

At the least, I think bitwise operations should only be performed on
unsigned types.

I think Nathan's suggestion was much cleaner.  If explicit casts are
enough to silence the warning, then I think Jim's suggestion is even
better (though unsigned, not signed int).

This is not a bitwise operation, it's a non-short-circuiting boolean 
operation.  I'll apply Jim's suggestion.

What about making it an inline function, which would require evaluation of arguments:

	static __always_inline bool BITWISE_BOOLEAN_OR(bool a, bool b)
	{
	    return a || b; // Safe here, because arguments have been evaluated
	}

Suggesting that because I'm always nervous about casts in macros hiding something that the type  system would otherwise catch.
