[PATCH v4 2/3] mac80211: Prevent build failure with CONFIG_UBSAN=y

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

 



With upcoming CONFIG_UBSAN the following BUILD_BUG_ON in
net/mac80211/debugfs.c starts to trigger:
	BUILD_BUG_ON(hw_flag_names[NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS] != (void *)0x1);

It seems, that compiler instrumentation causes some code deoptimizations.
Because of that GCC is not being able to resolve condition in BUILD_BUG_ON()
at compile time.

We could make size of hw_flag_names array unspecified and replace the
condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() with following:
	ARRAY_SIZE(hw_flag_names) != NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS

That will have the same effect as before (adding new flag without updating
array will trigger build failure) except it doesn't fail with CONFIG_UBSAN.
As a bonus this patch slightly decreases size of hw_flag_names array.
