lib: stackinit: hide never-taken branch from compiler
commit 5c3793604f91123bf49bc792ce697a0bef4c173c upstream. The never-taken branch leads to an invalid bounds condition, which is by design. To avoid the unwanted warning from the compiler, hide the variable from the optimizer. ../lib/stackinit_kunit.c: In function 'do_nothing_u16_zero': ../lib/stackinit_kunit.c:51:49: error: array subscript 1 is outside array bounds of 'u16[0]' {aka 'short unsigned int[]'} [-Werror=array-bounds=] 51 | #define DO_NOTHING_RETURN_SCALAR(ptr) *(ptr) | ^~~~~~ ../lib/stackinit_kunit.c:219:24: note: in expansion of macro 'DO_NOTHING_RETURN_SCALAR' 219 | return DO_NOTHING_RETURN_ ## which(ptr + 1); \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241117113813.work.735-kees@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
