Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Drop linux/kernel.h include from asm/bug.h header
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 11:44:49 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3d812c89ecbc6028e3c550c484201f33d763b885.1762735489.git.fthain@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
While working on an unrelated patch series, I needed to include
linux/bug.h from linux/instrumented.h, in order to call WARN_ON_ONCE().
Doing so resulted in the following compiler error on parisc:
In file included from ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:17,
from ./include/linux/atomic.h:82,
from ./arch/parisc/include/asm/bitops.h:13,
from ./include/linux/bitops.h:67,
from ./include/linux/kernel.h:23,
from ./arch/parisc/include/asm/bug.h:5,
from ./include/linux/bug.h:5,
from ./include/linux/page-flags.h:10,
from kernel/bounds.c:10:
./include/linux/instrumented.h: In function 'instrument_atomic_alignment_check':
./include/linux/instrumented.h:69:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'WARN_ON_ONCE' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
69 | WARN_ON_ONCE((unsigned long)v & (size - 1));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:182: kernel/bounds.s] Error 1
The problem is, asm/bug.h indirectly includes atomic-instrumented.h,
which means a new cycle appeared in the graph of #includes. And because
some headers in the cycle can't see all definitions, my new WARN_ON_ONCE()
call appears to be an undeclared function.
This only happens on parisc and it's easy to fix. In the error
message above, linux/kernel.h is included by asm/bug.h, but it's no
longer needed there, so just remove that include.
The comment about needing BUGFLAG_TAINT seems to be incorrect as of
commit 19d436268dde ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()"). Also,
there's a comment in linux/kernel.h which strongly discourages use of
that header.
Compile-tested only.
