Subject: [PATCH] PCI: rcar-host: Avoid objtool no-cfi warning in rcar_pcie_probe()
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:25:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013-rcar_pcie_probe-avoid-nocfi-objtool-warning-v1-1-552876b94f04@kernel.org> (raw)
After commit 894af4a1cde6 ("objtool: Validate kCFI calls"), compile
testing pcie-rcar-host.c with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y and CONFIG_OF=n results
in a no-cfi objtool warning in rcar_pcie_probe():
  $ cat allno.config
  CONFIG_CFI=y
  CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y
  CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS=y
  CONFIG_GENERIC_PHY=y
  CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE=y
  CONFIG_MODULES=y
  CONFIG_PCI=y
  CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y
  CONFIG_PCIE_RCAR_HOST=y
  CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y
  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=1 LLVM=1 clean allnoconfig vmlinux
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rcar_pcie_probe+0x191: no-cfi indirect call!
When CONFIG_OF is unset, of_device_get_match_data() returns NULL, so
LLVM knows this indirect call has no valid destination and drops the
kCFI setup before the call, triggering the objtool check that makes sure
all indirect calls have kCFI setup.
Check that host->phy_init_fn is not NULL before calling it to avoid the
warning.

Another alternative is to make this driver depend on CONFIG_OF since it
clearly requires it but that would restrict compile testing so I went
with this first.
