Subject: [PATCH] bpf: avoid warning for wrong pointer cast
Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 22:29:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460838585-1248139-1-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
Two new functions in bpf contain a cast from a 'u64' to a
pointer. This works on 64-bit architectures but causes a warning
on all 32-bit architectures:
kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c: In function 'bpf_perf_event_output_tp':
kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:350:13: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
u64 ctx = *(long *)r1;
This changes the cast to first convert the u64 argument into a uintptr_t,
which is guaranteed to be the same size as a pointer.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Fixes: 9940d67c93b5 ("bpf: support bpf_get_stackid() and bpf_perf_event_output() in tracepoint programs")
