Subject: [PATCH V3] livepatch: non static warnings fix
Date:   Wed, 23 Jan 2019 07:56:24 +0100
Message-Id: <1548226584-20579-1-git-send-email-hofrat@osadl.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Sparse reported warnings about non-static symbols. For the variables
a simple static attribute is fine - for the functions referenced by
livepatch via klp_func the symbol-names must be unmodified in the
symbol table and the patchable code has to be emitted. The resolution
is to attach __used attribute to the shared statically declared functions.

V2: not all static functions shared need to carry the __noclone
    attribute only those that need to be resolved at runtime by
    livepatch - so drop the unnecessary __noclone attributes as
    well as the Note on __noclone as suggested by Joe Lawrence
    <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> - thanks !

V3: fix the wording as proposed by Joe Lawrence
    <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> to address that this is not only
    about how to fix sparse warnings but also to ensure
    traceable/patchable code still being emitted.

Sparse reported the following findings in 5.0-rc3:

  CHECK   samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.c
samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.c:99:1: warning: symbol 'dummy_list' was not declared. Should it be static?
samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.c:100:1: warning: symbol 'dummy_list_mutex' was not declared. Should it be static?

samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.c:116:6: warning: symbol 'livepatch_fix1_dummy_free' was not declared. Should it be static?

  CHECK   samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.c
samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.c:53:6: warning: symbol 'livepatch_fix2_dummy_check' was not declared. Should it be static?
samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.c:81:6: warning: symbol 'livepatch_fix2_dummy_free' was not declared. Should it be static?

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig + FTRACE=y
FUNCTION_TRACER=y, SAMPLES=y, LIVEPATCH=y SAMPLE_LIVEPATCH=m
(looks sparse, smatch claan, one coccichek warning left - fix later today)

Patch was runtested with:
   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.ko
   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko
   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko
   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix2/enabled
   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix1/enabled
   rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix2
   rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix1
   rmmod livepatch-shadow-mod
and dmesg output compared to previous run.

Patch is against 5.0-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20190123)
