Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu/atom: Work around vbios NULL offset false positive
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2025 14:58:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250421215833.work.924-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
GCC really does not want to consider NULL (or near-NULL) addresses as
valid, so calculations based off of NULL end up getting range-tracked into
being an offset wthin a 0 byte array. It gets especially mad about this:
if (vbios_str == NULL)
vbios_str += sizeof(BIOS_ATOM_PREFIX) - 1;
...
if (vbios_str != NULL && *vbios_str == 0)
vbios_str++;
It sees this as being "sizeof(BIOS_ATOM_PREFIX) - 1" byte offset from
NULL, when building with -Warray-bounds (and the coming
-fdiagnostic-details flag):
In function 'atom_get_vbios_pn',
inlined from 'amdgpu_atom_parse' at drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/atom.c:1553:2:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/atom.c:1447:34: error: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'unsigned char[0]' [-Werror=array-bounds=]
1447 | if (vbios_str != NULL && *vbios_str == 0)
| ^~~~~~~~~~
'amdgpu_atom_parse': events 1-2
1444 | if (vbios_str == NULL)

| (1) when the condition is evaluated to true
......
1447 | if (vbios_str != NULL && *vbios_str == 0)
| ~~~~~~~~~~
| |
| (2) out of array bounds here
In function 'amdgpu_atom_parse':
cc1: note: source object is likely at address zero
As there isn't a sane way to convince it otherwise, hide vbios_str from
GCC's optimizer to avoid the warning so we can get closer to enabling
-Warray-bounds globally.
