Subject: [PATCH] x86/xen: Fix sparse warning in enlighten_pv.c
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 12:51:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215115112.15072-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
The sparse tool issues a warning for arch/x76/xen/enlighten_pv.c:
arch/x86/xen/enlighten_pv.c:120:9: sparse: sparse: incorrect type
in initializer (different address spaces)
expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify
got bool *
This is due to the percpu variable xen_in_preemptible_hcall being
exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() instead of EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL_GPL().
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202512140856.Ic6FetG6-lkp@intel.com/
Fixes: fdfd811ddde3 ("x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preempted")
