Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 28/30] bpf: avoid uninitialized warnings in verifier_global_subprogs.c
Date: Mon, 27 May 2024 10:13:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240527141406.3852821-28-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240527141406.3852821-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: "Jose E. Marchesi" <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
[ Upstream commit cd3fc3b9782130a5bc1dc3dfccffbc1657637a93 ]
[Changes from V1:
- The warning to disable is -Wmaybe-uninitialized, not -Wuninitialized.
- This warning is only supported in GCC.]
The BPF selftest verifier_global_subprogs.c contains code that
purposedly performs out of bounds access to memory, to check whether
the kernel verifier is able to catch them. For example:
__noinline int global_unsupp(const int *mem)
{
if (!mem)
return 0;
return mem[100]; /* BOOM */
}
With -O1 and higher and no inlining, GCC notices this fact and emits a
"maybe uninitialized" warning. This is by design. Note that the
emission of these warnings is highly dependent on the precise
optimizations that are performed.
This patch adds a compiler pragma to verifier_global_subprogs.c to
ignore these warnings.
Tested in bpf-next master.
No regressions.
