Subject: [PATCH v7 1/5] vdso/math64: Use OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() in __iter_div_u64_rem()
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 23:30:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002153104.1347978-2-zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002153104.1347978-1-zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com>
__iter_div_u64_rem() open-codes an empty asm() to keep the compiler from
turning the subtraction loop into a modulo operation. That is what
OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() is for, so use it and reflow the comment.
The macro lives in linux/compiler.h, which this header did not include.
vdso/math64.h is reached from linux/math64.h, whose includes are
linux/types.h, linux/math.h, asm/div64.h and vdso/math64.h; none of them
guarantees linux/compiler.h. x86 happens to get it through
asm/div64.h -> linux/log2.h, m68k's asm/div64.h only pulls in
asm-generic/div64.h and linux/types.h, so the macro is undeclared there
and the build fails with -Werror=implicit-function-declaration.
Include linux/compiler.h so the header no longer depends on its includer.
This is a no-op for the vDSO, where lib/vdso/gettimeofday.c already gets
it through linux/build_bug.h, and vdso/unaligned.h sets the same
precedent by including linux/compiler_types.h.
