Subject: [PATCH] x86/percpu: Make CONFIG_USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT work with sparse
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 15:45:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v7gz0yjv.ffs@tglx> (raw)
Now that sparse builds enforce the usage of typeof_unqual() the casts in
__raw_cpu_read/write() cause sparse to emit tons of false postive
warnings:
warning: cast removes address space '__percpu' of expression
Address this by annotating the casts with __force.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202601181733.YZOf9XU3-lkp@intel.com/
