Subject: [PATCH 3/3] signal.c: fix gcc warning on 32 bits kernel
Date: Fri,  9 Feb 2007 16:07:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11710336591652-git-send-email-fbuihuu@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1171033658561-git-send-email-fbuihuu@gmail.com>

From: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com>

This hack prevents gcc to produce the following warning:

  CC      arch/mips/kernel/signal.o
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c: In function `sys_sigaction':
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:266: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

This warning is due to the following line:

	__get_user(new_ka.sa.sa_handler, &act->sa_handler);

Indeed when __get_user() is expanded it produces the following
code:

	switch (sizeof(*(&act->sa_handler))) {
	... [snip] ...
	case 8: {
		unsigned long long __gu_tmp;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"1: lw      %1, (%3)                  \n"
			"2: lw      %D1, 4(%3)                \n"
			"   move    %0, $0                    \n"
			"3: .section        .fixup,\"ax\"     \n"
			"4: li      %0, %4                    \n"
			"   move    %1, $0                    \n"
			"   move    %D1, $0                   \n"
			"   j       3b                        \n"
			"   .previous                         \n"
			"   .section        __ex_table,\"a\"  \n"
			"   " ".word" "     1b, 4b            \n"
			"   " ".word" "     2b, 4b            \n"
			"   .previous                         \n"
			: "=r" (__gu_err), "=&r" (__gu_tmp)
			: "0" (0), "r" ((&act->sa_handler)), "i" (-14));

		(((new_ka.sa.sa_handler))) = (__typeof__(*((&act->sa_handler)))) __gu_tmp;
		};
		break;
	default:
		__get_user_unknown();
		break;
	}

which actually try to do:

	new_ka.sa.sa_handler = (__sighandler_t) __gu_tmp;

Here we try to cast an 'unsigned long long' into a 32 bits pointer and
that's the reason of the warning.
