[PATCH 00/17] Non-const bitfield helper conversions

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

 



	Hi all,

<linux/bitfield.h> contains various helpers for accessing bitfields, as
typically used in hardware registers for memory-mapped I/O blocks. These
helpers ensure type safety, and deduce automatically shift values from
mask values, avoiding mistakes due to inconsistent shifts and masks, and
leading to a reduction in source code size.

I have already submitted a few conversions to the FIELD_{GET,PREP}()
helpers that were fixes for real bugs:
  - [PATCH] mips: cm: Convert to bitfield API to fix out-of-bounds
    access
    https://lore.kernel.org/r/0471c545117c5fa05bd9c73005cda9b74608a61e.1635501373.git.geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx
  - [PATCH] drm/armada: Fix off-by-one error in
    armada_overlay_get_property()
    https://lore.kernel.org/r/5818c8b04834e6a9525441bc181580a230354b69.1635501237.git.geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx

Plus several patches for normal conversions:
  - [PATCH] ARM: ptrace: Use bitfield helpers

The existing FIELD_{GET,PREP}() macros are limited to compile-time
constants.  However, it is very common to prepare or extract bitfield
elements where the bitfield mask is not a compile-time constant.
To avoid this limitation, the AT91 clock driver already has its own
field_{prep,get}() macros.

This patch series makes them available for general use, and converts
several drivers to the existing FIELD_{GET,PREP}() and the new
field_{get,prep}() helpers.

I can take the first two patches through the reneas-clk tree for v5.17,
but probably it is best for the remaining patches to be postponed to
v5.18.

Thanks for your comments!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
