[PATCH v4 0/3] Switch get/put unaligned to use memcpy

[PATCH v4 0/3] Switch get/put unaligned to use memcpy

[Ian Rogers]

The existing type punning approach with packed structs requires
 -fno-strict-aliasing to be passed to the compiler for
correctness. This is true in the kernel tree but not in the tools
directory resulting in this suggested patch from Eric Biggers
 <ebiggers@google.com>:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250625202311.23244-2-ebiggers@kernel.org/

Requiring -fno-strict-aliasing seems unfortunate and so this patch
makes the unaligned code work via memcpy for type punning rather than
the packed attribute.

v4: switch the type/expression variable __get_unaligned_ctrl_type that
    is used by _Generic to be a pointer to avoid 0 vs NULL usage
    warnings - always use NULL and dereference the type. This should
    also hopefully address analysis bots complaints.

v3: switch to __unqual_scalar_typeof, reducing the code, and use an
    uninitialized variable rather than a cast of 0 to try to avoid a
    sparse warning about not using NULL. The code is trying to
    navigate a minefield of uninitialized and casting warnings,
    hopefully the best balance has been struck, but the code will fail
    for cases like:
    const void *val = get_unaligned((const void * const *)ptr);
    due to __unqual_scalar_typeof leaving the 2nd const of the cast in
    place. Thankfully no code does this - tested with an
    allyesconfig. Support would be achievable by using void* as a
    default case in __unqual_scalar_typeof, it just doesn't seem worth
    it for a fairly unusual const case.

v2: switch memcpy to __builtin_memcpy to avoid potential/disallowed
    memcpy calls in vdso caused by -fno-builtin. Reported by
    Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu>:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c57de5bf-d55c-48c5-9dfa-e2fb844dafe9@csgroup.eu/

[PATCH v4 1/3] vdso: Switch get/put unaligned from packed struct to memcpy

[Ian Rogers]

Type punning is necessary for get/put unaligned but the use of a
packed struct violates strict aliasing rules, requiring
-fno-strict-aliasing to be passed to the C compiler. Switch to using
memcpy so that -fno-strict-aliasing isn't necessary.
