Subject: gcc: disable '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-9
Date: Wed, 22 May 2024 15:58:30 -0700

'-Warray-bounds' is already disabled for gcc-10+.  Now that we've merged
bitmap_{read,write), I see the following error when building the kernel
with gcc-9.4 (Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS) for x86_64 allmodconfig:

drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-cy8c95x0.c: In function `cy8c95x0_read_regs_mask.isra.0':
include/linux/bitmap.h:756:18: error: array subscript [1, 288230376151711744] is outside array bounds of `long unsigned int[1]' [-Werror=array-bounds]
  756 |  value_high = map[index + 1] & BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK(start + nbits);
      |               ~~~^~~~~~~~~~~

The immediate reason is that the commit b44759705f7d ("bitmap: make
bitmap_{get,set}_value8() use bitmap_{read,write}()") switched the
bitmap_get_value8() to an alias of bitmap_read(); the same for 'set'.

Now; the code that triggers Warray-bounds, calls the function like this:

  #define MAX_BANK 8
  #define BANK_SZ 8
  #define MAX_LINE        (MAX_BANK * BANK_SZ)
  DECLARE_BITMAP(tval, MAX_LINE); // 64-bit map: unsigned long tval[1]

  read_val |= bitmap_get_value8(tval, i * BANK_SZ) & ~bits;

bitmap_read() is implemented such that it may conditionally dereference a
pointer beyond the boundary like this:

	unsigned long offset = start % BITS_PER_LONG;
        unsigned long space = BITS_PER_LONG - offset;

        if (space >= nbits)
                return (map[index] >> offset) & BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK(nbits);

        value_low = map[index] & BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK(start);
        value_high = map[index + 1] & BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK(start + nbits);
        return (value_low >> offset) | (value_high << space);

In case of bitmap_get_value8(), it's impossible to violate the boundary
because 'space >= nbits' is never the true for byte-aligned 8-bit access. 
So, this is clearly a false-positive.

The same type of false-positives break my allmodconfig build in many
places.  gcc-8, is clear, however.
