selftests: hid: trouble building with clang due to missing header

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

 



Hi, I'd like to get some help with building the kselftest target.

I am running into some warnings within the hid tree:
| progs/hid_bpf_helpers.h:9:38: error: declaration of 'struct
hid_bpf_ctx' will \
|       not be visible outside of this function [-Werror,-Wvisibility]
|     9 | extern __u8 *hid_bpf_get_data(struct hid_bpf_ctx *ctx,
|       |                                      ^
| progs/hid.c:23:35: error: incompatible pointer types passing 'struct
hid_bpf_ctx *' \
|       to parameter of type 'struct hid_bpf_ctx *'
[-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
|    23 |         __u8 *rw_data = hid_bpf_get_data(hid_ctx, 0 /*
offset */, 3 /* size */);

This warning, amongst others, is due to some symbol not being included.
In this case, `struct hid_bpf_ctx` is not being defined anywhere that I
can see inside of the testing tree itself.

Instead, `struct hid_bpf_ctx` is defined and implemented at
`include/linux/hid_bpf.h`. AFAIK, I cannot just include this header as
the tools directory is a separate entity from kbuild and these tests are
meant to be built/ran without relying on kernel headers. Am I correct in
this assumption? At any rate, the include itself doesn't work. How can I
properly include this struct definition and fix the warning(s)?

Please note that we cannot just forward declare the struct as it is
being dereferenced and would then yield a completely different
error/warning for an incomplete type. We need the entire implementation
for the struct included.

Other symbols also defined in `include/linux/hid_bpf.h` that we need are
`struct hid_report_type` and `HID_BPF_FLAG...`

Here's the invocation I am running to build kselftest:
`$ make LLVM=1 ARCH=x86_64 mrproper headers && make LLVM=1 ARCH=x86_64
-j128 V=1 -C tools/testing/selftests`

If anyone is currently getting clean builds of kselftest with clang,
what invocation works for you?
