Thanks for looking Nathan. I'll keep an eye on that and see if it's able to catch this example. I've tried to come up with a minimal reproducer, but I haven't had any luck yet (so far I always get the warning), would that be helpful at all? I put the full W=2 output for the one file here in case anyone else wants to look: https://github.com/jcalvinowens/lkml-debug/blob/main/amdgpu-lto/gcc-warns.txt https://github.com/jcalvinowens/lkml-debug/blob/main/amdgpu-lto/llvm-warns.txt Somehow 'make drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.o' doesn't work, I want to look at that later because it was mildly annoying while digging into this. > > amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] Loading DMUB firmware via PSP: version=0x07002F00 > > amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: sw_init of IP block failed 5 > > amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu_device_ip_init failed > > amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: Fatal error during GPU init > > > > It surprises me that neither gcc nor clang emit a warning about this: I > > only found it by bisecting the LTO breakage. > > gcc's -Wmaybe-uninitialized is disabled by default for the kernel but > even enabling it with KCFLAGS does not show an instance here, which I > find quite surprising... for clang, it is harder because the warning > happens early in the frontend where it might not be able to track a > value that well. GCC does flag what seems to me to be a real but benign warning about an ERR_PTR check that doesn't handle NULL in the same file: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/6aaf2cf4bd19363a85f35e649685d7bdae400253.1773157137.git.calvin@wbinvd.org/ I'm also trying to find a minimal reproducer for GCC, no luck yet. > > Fix by using the old value for region_params.bss_data_size in place of > > the uninitialized reference, which makes amdgpu work with LTO again. > > > > Fixes: e1b385726f7f ("drm/amd/display: Add additional checks for PSP footer size") > > Signed-off-by: Calvin Owens > > --- > > drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c | 2 +- > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c > > index b3d6f2cd8ab6..e69e61163ae9 100644 > > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c > > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c > > @@ -2554,7 +2554,7 @@ static int dm_dmub_sw_init(struct amdgpu_device *adev) > > fw_meta_info_params.fw_inst_const = adev->dm.dmub_fw->data + > > le32_to_cpu(hdr->header.ucode_array_offset_bytes) + > > PSP_HEADER_BYTES_256; > > - fw_meta_info_params.fw_bss_data = region_params.bss_data_size ? adev->dm.dmub_fw->data + > > + fw_meta_info_params.fw_bss_data = le32_to_cpu(hdr->bss_data_bytes) ? adev->dm.dmub_fw->data + > > Maybe it would be better to use fw_meta_info_params.bss_data_size > instead of le32_to_cpu(hdr->bss_data_bytes)?

That ends up being almost self evidently correct if I force git to add an extra context line with the assignment, I always forget I can do that: diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c index b3d6f2cd8ab6..0d1c772ef713 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c @@ -2553,9 +2553,9 @@ static int dm_dmub_sw_init(struct amdgpu_device *adev) fw_meta_info_params.bss_data_size = le32_to_cpu(hdr->bss_data_bytes); fw_meta_info_params.fw_inst_const = adev->dm.dmub_fw->data + le32_to_cpu(hdr->header.ucode_array_offset_bytes) + PSP_HEADER_BYTES_256; - fw_meta_info_params.fw_bss_data = region_params.bss_data_size ? adev->dm.dmub_fw->data + + fw_meta_info_params.fw_bss_data = fw_meta_info_params.bss_data_size ? adev->dm.dmub_fw->data + le32_to_cpu(hdr->header.ucode_array_offset_bytes) + le32_to_cpu(hdr->inst_const_bytes) : NULL; fw_meta_info_params.custom_psp_footer_size = 0; I'll send a v2 in a little bit.
