[PATCH v2] efi: fix -Wmissing-variable-declarations warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When building x86/defconfig with Clang-18 I encounter the following warnings:
| arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:934:23: warning: no previous extern declaration for non-static variable 'efi_attr_fw_vendor' [-Wmissing-variable-declarations]
|   934 | struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_fw_vendor = __ATTR_RO(fw_vendor);
| arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:935:23: warning: no previous extern declaration for non-static variable 'efi_attr_runtime' [-Wmissing-variable-declarations]
|   935 | struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_runtime = __ATTR_RO(runtime);
| arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:936:23: warning: no previous extern declaration for non-static variable 'efi_attr_config_table' [-Wmissing-variable-declarations]
|   936 | struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_config_table = __ATTR_RO(config_table);

These symbols are declared extern in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c. Move
the declarations to linux/efi.h to resolve these warnings.

Also, trim a trailing space from efi_set_variable_t typedef.

Changes in v2:
- Don't use static. Instead move symbols to header file (thanks Ard)
- Remove duplicated warnings output from b4 (thanks Ard)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230829-missingvardecl-efi-v1-1-13d055a55176@xxxxxxxxxx
---
Note: build-tested.

Also, a question: Why does the compiler warn at all? The extern
declarations _do_ exist as Ard points out [1].
