[PATCH v3 0/3] kbuild: remove gcc's -Wtype-limits

[Vincent Mailhol]

I often read on the mailing list people saying "who cares about W=2
builds anyway?". At least I do. Not that I want to fix all of them,
but on some occasions, such as new driver submissions, I have often
found a couple valid diagnostics in the W=2 output.

That said, the annoying thing is that W=2 is heavily polluted by one
warning: -Wtype-limits. Try a gcc W=2 build on any file and see the
results for yourself. I suspect this to be the reason why so few
people are using W=2.

This series removes gcc's -Wtype-limits in an attempt to make W=2 more
useful. Those who do not use W=2 can continue to not use it if they
want. Those who, like me, use it for time to time will get an improved
experience from the reduced spam.

Patch #1 deactivates -Wtype-limits.  Extra details on statistics, past
attempts and alternatives are given in the description.

Patch #2 clean-ups the local kbuild -Wno-type-limits exceptions, while
patch #3 undoes a local workaround which silenced that warning by
uglifying the code.

[PATCH v3 1/3] kbuild: remove gcc's -Wtype-limits

[Vincent Mailhol]

W=2 builds are heavily polluted by the -Wtype-limits warning.

Here are some W=12 statistics on Linux v6.19-rc1 for an x86_64
defconfig (with just CONFIG_WERROR set to "n") using gcc 14.3.1:

	 Warning name			count	percent
	-------------------------------------------------
	 -Wlogical-op			    2	  0.00 %
	 -Wmaybe-uninitialized		  138	  0.20 %
	 -Wunused-macros		  869	  1.24 %
	 -Wmissing-field-initializers	 1418	  2.02 %
	 -Wshadow			 2234	  3.19 %
	 -Wtype-limits			65378	 93.35 %
	-------------------------------------------------
	 Total				70039	100.00 %

As we can see, -Wtype-limits represents the vast majority of all
warnings. The reason behind this is that these warnings appear in
some common header files, meaning that some unique warnings are
repeated tens of thousands of times (once per header inclusion).

Add to this the fact that each warning is coupled with a dozen lines
detailing some macro expansion. The end result is that the W=2 output
is just too bloated and painful to use.

Three years ago, I proposed in [1] modifying one such header to
silence that noise. Because the code was not faulty, Linus rejected
the idea and instead suggested simply removing that warning.

At that time, I could not bring myself to send such a patch because,
despite its problems, -Wtype-limits would still catch the below bug:

	unsigned int ret;

	ret = check();
	if (ret < 0)
		error();

Meanwhile, based on another suggestion from Linus, I added a new check
to sparse [2] that would catch the above bug without the useless spam.

With this, remove gcc's -Wtype-limits. People who still want to catch
incorrect comparisons between unsigned integers and zero can now use
sparse instead.

On a side note, clang also has a -Wtype-limits warning but:

  * it is not enabled in the kernel at the moment because, contrary to
    gcc, clang did not include it under -Wextra.

  * it does not warn if the code results from a macro expansion. So,
    if activated, it would not cause as much spam as gcc does.

  * -Wtype-limits is split into four sub-warnings [3] meaning that if
    it were to be activated, we could select which one to keep.

So there is no present need to explicitly disable -Wtype-limits in
clang.

[PATCH v3 3/3] overflow: Remove is_non_negative() and is_negative()

[Vincent Mailhol]

The is_non_negative() and is_negative() function-like macros just
exist as a workaround to silence the -Wtype-limits warning. Now that
this warning is disabled, those two macros have lost their raison
d'être. Remove them.

This reverts commit dc7fe518b049 ("overflow: Fix -Wtype-limits
compilation warnings").

So smatch is not able to distinguish when the comparison comes from
a macro expansion.

Can this warning be ignored? Or should I remove this 3rd patch from
the series (and go back to v1)?  My choice would be to ignore this
warning.
