This changes the type to u64 in the architecture-independent dummy, and to pteval_t in the x86 specific portion that is used when KAISER is enabled, ensuring that the flags can always fit. Unfortunately, pteval_t is not provided by most other architectures, so we are a little bit inconsistent here.
I ran into a new regression with my patch applied, after doing more randconfig builds:
In file included from /git/arm-soc/include/linux/kaiser.h:5, from /git/arm-soc/arch/x86/events/intel/ds.c:4: arch/x86/include/asm/kaiser.h:34:10: error: unknown type name 'pteval_t'; did you mean 'dev_t'?
Maybe it's better to just to the last one-line change in include/linux/kaiser.h.
Hi Arnd,
Are you hitting this in -next?
The newest version of this code has a single kpti_init() function that shouldn't have any of these problems.
Coming back to an old thread...
I did some randconfig testing on 4.9.80, and now I see the same problem there, since that version uses the KAISER patches rather than PTI:
/git/arm-soc/arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c: In function 'alloc_ldt_struct': /git/arm-soc/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:208:24: error: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Werror=overflow] #define __PAGE_KERNEL (__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC | _PAGE_NX) ^ /git/arm-soc/arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:81:6: note: in expansion of macro '__PAGE_KERNEL' __PAGE_KERNEL); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also saw another warning:
/git/arm-soc/arch/x86/mm/kaiser.c: In function 'kaiser_init': /git/arm-soc/arch/x86/mm/kaiser.c:347:8: error: 'vsyscall_pgprot' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'massage_pgprot'?
I can send this as proper patches for inclusion in 4.9-stable, unless someone has a better idea or finds a problem
proper patches would be good :)
thanks,
