cppcheck spotted this - and while it has a lot of false positives in its current version,
I do think that the kernel code around that line can be improved:
longmode = is_long_mode(vcpu) && cs_l == 1;
if (!longmode) {
param = ((u64)kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RDX) << 32) |
(kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX) & 0xffffffff);
ingpa = ((u64)kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RBX) << 32) |
(kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RCX) & 0xffffffff);
outgpa = ((u64)kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RDI) << 32) |
(kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RSI) & 0xffffffff);
}
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
else {
param = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RCX);
ingpa = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RDX);
outgpa = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_R8);
}
#endif
code = param & 0xffff;
If CONFIG_X86_64 is not defined then the condition "if (!longmode)" is either superfluous
or lacks an else branch, right ?
