Subject: sparse build breakage with 903c0c7cdc21f2ccb7562a7bbc70289c0c2b16ad

Hi Kosaki,
I'm getting a problem when running the current (5dbe0af47f8a8f968bac2991c3ec974c6e3eaabc)
kernel tree through sparse, and I think it's down to an
interaction between your commit

903c0c7cdc21f2ccb7562a7bbc70289c0c2b16ad sparse: define dummy BUILD_BUG_ON definition for sparse

and the __module_param_call code in moduleparam.h

The error is:
init/main.c:643:1: error: Syntax error in unary expression

core_param(initcall_debug, initcall_debug, bool, 0644);

this calls __module_param_call which is defined as:


#define __module_param_call(prefix, name, ops, arg, isbool, perm) \
/* Default value instead of permissions? */ \
static int __param_perm_check_##name __attribute__((unused)) = \
BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) < 0 || (perm) > 0777 || ((perm) & 2)) \
+ BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(sizeof(""prefix) > MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN); \
static const char __param_str_##name[] = prefix #name; \
static struct kernel_param __moduleparam_const __param_##name \
__used \
__attribute__ ((unused,__section__ ("__param"),aligned(sizeof(void *)))) \
= { __param_str_##name, ops, perm, isbool ? KPARAM_ISBOOL : 0, \
{ arg } }

which ends up with a postprocessed line of:

static inline void __check_initcall_debug(void) {; }; static int __param_perm_check_initcall_debug __attribute__((unused)) = +; static const char __param_str_initcall_debug[] = "" "initcall_debug"; static struct kernel_param const __param_initcall_debug __attribute__((__used__)) __attribute__ ((unused,__section__ ("__param"),aligned(sizeof(void *)))) = { __param_str_initcall_debug, &param_ops_bool, 0644, __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(initcall_debug), typeof(bool)) ? 2 : 0, { &initcall_debug } };

Note the '+;' being assigned to __param_perm_check_initcall_debug

So I think your dummy BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO's needs to have a value:

The following diff seems to fix it, but I've not let
a fuller sparse run complete yet:

diff --git a/include/linux/kernel.h b/include/linux/kernel.h
index fb0e732..953352a 100644

Hi David,

Right you are. Can you please send a formal patch and append following line?

Subject: [PATCH] Fix BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO sparse breakage

BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO and BUILD_BUG_ON_NULL must return values, even in the CHECKER
case otherwise various users of it become syntactically invalid.
