[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Enable strict percpu address space checks

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

 



This patchset enables strict percpu address space checks via x86 named 
address space qualifiers. Percpu variables are declared in
__seg_gs/__seg_fs named AS and kept named AS qualified until they
are dereferenced via percpu accessor. This approach enables various
compiler checks for cross-namespace variable assignments.

Please note that sparse doesn't know anything about __typeof_unqual__()
operator, so the usage of __typeof_unqual__() breaks sparse checking.
