linux-stable.git/tools/include/linux/compiler.h, branch v4.12.2

tools include: Adopt __same_type() and __must_be_array() from the kernel

2017-04-19T16:01:42+00:00

Will be used to adopt the more stringent version of ARRAY_SIZE(), the
one in the kernel sources.

tools include: Adopt __compiletime_error

2017-03-03T22:07:13+00:00

From the kernel, get the gcc one and provide the fallback so that we can
continue build with other compilers, such as with clang.

Will be used by tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg.h.

Merge branch 'idr-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax

2017-03-01T04:29:41+00:00

Pull IDR rewrite from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The most significant part of the following is the patch to rewrite the
  IDR & IDA to be clients of the radix tree. But there's much more,
  including an enhancement of the IDA to be significantly more space
  efficient, an IDR & IDA test suite, some improvements to the IDR API
  (and driver changes to take advantage of those improvements), several
  improvements to the radix tree test suite and RCU annotations.

  The IDR & IDA rewrite had a good spin in linux-next and Andrew's tree
  for most of the last cycle. Coupled with the IDR test suite, I feel
  pretty confident that any remaining bugs are quite hard to hit. 0-day
  did a great job of watching my git tree and pointing out problems; as
  it hit them, I added new test-cases to be sure not to be caught the
  same way twice"

Willy goes on to expand a bit on the IDR rewrite rationale:
 "The radix tree and the IDR use very similar data structures.

  Merging the two codebases lets us share the memory allocation pools,
  and results in a net deletion of 500 lines of code. It also opens up
  the possibility of exposing more of the features of the radix tree to
  users of the IDR (and I have some interesting patches along those
  lines waiting for 4.12)

  It also shrinks the size of the 'struct idr' from 40 bytes to 24 which
  will shrink a fair few data structures that embed an IDR"

2017-02-13T21:09:41+00:00

Move the pieces we still need to tools/include and update a few implicit
includes.

tools include: Introduce linux/compiler-gcc.h

2017-02-13T17:29:29+00:00

To match the kernel headers structure, setting up things that are
specific to gcc or to some specific version of gcc.

It gets included by linux/compiler.h when gcc is the compiler being
used.

tools include: Add a __fallthrough statement

2017-02-08T20:30:58+00:00

For cases where implicit fall through case labels are intended,
to let us inform that to gcc >= 7:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/string.o
  util/string.c: In function 'perf_atoll':
  util/string.c:22:7: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
      if (*p)
         ^
  util/string.c:24:3: note: here
     case '\0':
     ^~~~

So we introduce:

  #define __fallthrough __attribute__ ((fallthrough))

And use it in such cases.

tools: Make "__always_inline" just "inline" on Android

2016-07-14T15:03:04+00:00

As the gcc there is producing tons of:

  "warning: always_inline function might not be inlinable"

At least on android-ndk-r12/platforms/android-24/arch-arm, so, for the
time being, use this big hammer.

tools include: Fix strict-aliasing rules breakage

2015-10-13T14:43:16+00:00

Vinson reported build breakage with gcc 4.4 due to strict-aliasing.

   CC       util/annotate.o
 cc1: warnings being treated as errors
 util/annotate.c: In function ‘disasm__purge’:
 linux-next/tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66: error: dereferencing
 pointer ‘res.41’ does break strict-aliasing rules

The reason is READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code we took from kernel sources.  They
intentionaly break aliasing rules. While this is ok for kernel because it's
built with -fno-strict-aliasing, it breaks perf which is build with
-Wstrict-aliasing=3.

Using extra __may_alias__ type to allow aliasing in this case.

perf tools: Move barrier() definition to tools/include/linux/compiler.h

2015-05-08T19:05:04+00:00

To make it generally accessible by other tools/ projects, also will be
used in the tools/arch/*/include/asm/barrier.h files that are being
introduced now.
