Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: Track width of arm64's timer counter as "int", not "uint64_t"
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 08:58:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250926155838.2612205-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Store the width of arm64's timer counter as an "int", not a "uint64_t".
ilog2() returns an "int", and more importantly using what is an "unsigned
long" under the hood makes clang unhappy due to a type mismatch when
clamping the width to a sane value.
arm64/arch_timer_edge_cases.c:1032:10: error: comparison of distinct pointer types
('typeof (width) *' (aka 'unsigned long *') and 'typeof (56) *' (aka 'int *'))
[-Werror,-Wcompare-distinct-pointer-types]
1032 | width = clamp(width, 56, 64);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tools/include/linux/kernel.h:47:45: note: expanded from macro 'clamp'
47 | #define clamp(val, lo, hi) min((typeof(val))max(val, lo), hi)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
tools/include/linux/kernel.h:33:17: note: expanded from macro 'max'
33 | (void) (&_max1 == &_max2); \
| ~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~
tools/include/linux/kernel.h:39:9: note: expanded from macro 'min'
39 | typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \
| ^
