Hello Nadav Amit, The patch d1442d85cc30: "KVM: x86: Handle errors when RIP is set during far jumps" from Sep 18, 2014, leads to the following static checker warning: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c:2015 em_jmp_far() warn: add some parenthesis here? arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c 2013 rc = assign_eip_far(ctxt, ctxt->src.val, new_desc.l); 2014 if (rc != X86EMUL_CONTINUE) { 2015 WARN_ON(!ctxt->mode != X86EMUL_MODE_PROT64); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No idea what was intended here. The negate has higher precedence than the !=. 2016 /* assigning eip failed; restore the old cs */ 2017 ops->set_segment(ctxt, old_sel, &old_desc, 0, VCPU_SREG_CS); 2018 return rc; 2019 } There are a couple other static checker warnings as well: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c:579 assign_eip_far() warn: bitwise AND condition is false here 567 static inline int assign_eip_far(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt, ulong dst, 568 int cs_l) 569 { 570 switch (ctxt->op_bytes) { 571 case 2: 572 ctxt->_eip = (u16)dst; 573 break; 574 case 4: 575 ctxt->_eip = (u32)dst; 576 break; 577 case 8: 578 if ((cs_l && is_noncanonical_address(dst)) || 579 (!cs_l && (dst & ~(u32)-1))) ^^^^^^^^ This is a very complicated way of saying zero. 580 return emulate_gp(ctxt, 0); 581 ctxt->_eip = dst; 582 break; 583 default: 584 WARN(1, "unsupported eip assignment size\n"); 585 } 586 return X86EMUL_CONTINUE; 587 } arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c:2112 em_ret_far() warn: add some parenthesis here? 2110 rc = assign_eip_far(ctxt, eip, new_desc.l); 2111 if (rc != X86EMUL_CONTINUE) { 2112 WARN_ON(!ctxt->mode != X86EMUL_MODE_PROT64); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2113 ops->set_segment(ctxt, old_cs, &old_desc, 0, VCPU_SREG_CS); 2114 } 2115 return rc; 2116 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
