[PATCH] make sparse happy with gfp.h

[PATCH] make sparse happy with gfp.h

[Dave Hansen]

Running sparse on page_alloc.c today, it errors out:
        include/linux/gfp.h:254:17: error: bad constant expression
        include/linux/gfp.h:254:17: error: cannot size expression

which is a line in gfp_zone():

        BUILD_BUG_ON((GFP_ZONE_BAD >> bit) & 1);

That's really unfortunate, because it ends up hiding all of the other
legitimate sparse messages like this:
        mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
        mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59:    expected unsigned long [unsigned] [usertype] size
        mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59:    got restricted gfp_t [usertype] <noident>
...

Having sparse be able to catch these very oopsable bugs is a lot more
important than keeping a BUILD_BUG_ON().  Kill the BUILD_BUG_ON().

Compiles on x86_64 with and without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.  defconfig
boots fine for me.

Why don't you use VM_BUG_ON?

I was just trying to make a minimal patch that did a single thing.

Feel free to submit another one that does that.  I'm sure there are a
couple more places that could use similar love.

I posted another approach patches a second ago. Could you please see it?

Those both look sane to me.  Those weren't biting me in particular, and
they don't fix the issue I was seeing.  But, they do seem necessary to
reduce some of the noise.

CC'ing the sparse mailing list.  We're seeing a couple of cases where
some gcc-isms are either stopping sparse from finding real bugs:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130282454732689&w=2

or creating a lot of noise on some builds:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130284428614058&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130284431014077&w=2

After while thinking, I decided to make another patch. If we take your
approach we will remove all BUILD_BUG_ON eventually. It's no happy result.

Subject: [PATCH] define dummy BUILD_BUG_ON definition for sparse

BUILD_BUG_ON() makes syntax error to detect coding error. Then it
naturally makes sparse error too. It reduce sparse usefulness.

Then, this patch makes dummy BUILD_BUG_ON() definition for sparse.

[PATCH] define __must_be_array() for __CHECKER__

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

This fixes another sparse splat.

Subject: [PATCH] define __must_be_array() for __CHECKER__

commit c5e631cf65f (ARRAY_SIZE: check for type) added __must_be_array().
but sparse can't parse this gcc extention.

Then, now make C=2 makes following sparse errors a lot.

  kernel/futex.c:2699:25: error: No right hand side of '+'-expression

Because __must_be_array() is used for ARRAY_SIZE() macro and it is
used very widely.

This patch fixes it.

sparse can't parse warning and error attribute. then they should
be hidden from sparse.
