Subject: [PATCH] drm/msm/dp: Avoid division by zero in msm_dp_ctrl_config_msa()
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2026 16:29:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108-drm-msm-dp_ctrl-avoid-zero-div-v1-1-6a8debcb3033@kernel.org> (raw)
An (admittedly problematic) optimization change in LLVM 20 [1] turns
known division by zero into the equivalent of __builtin_unreachable(),
which invokes undefined behavior if it is encountered in a control flow
graph, destroying code generation. When compile testing for x86_64,
objtool flags an instance of this optimization triggering in
msm_dp_ctrl_config_msa(), inlined into msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream():
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm.o: warning: objtool: msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream(): unexpected end of section .text.msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream
The zero division happens if the else branch in the first if statement
in msm_dp_ctrl_config_msa() is taken because pixel_div is initialized to
zero and it is not possible for LLVM to eliminate the else branch since
rate is still not known after inlining into msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream().
Change pixel_div to one to make the division well defined in the
presence of an unsupported rate, relying on the DRM_ERROR print to
indicate the error to the user.
