After moving a structure into a local file and only declaring it for users
of that structure to have just a pointer to it, some compilers gave this error:
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: In function 'ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe':
include/linux/rcupdate.h:389:9: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct trace_pid_list'
typeof(*p) *________p1 = (typeof(*p) *__force)READ_ONCE(p); \

include/linux/rcupdate.h:558:2: note: in expansion of macro '__rcu_dereference_check'
__rcu_dereference_check((p), (c) || rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/rcupdate.h:612:34: note: in expansion of macro 'rcu_dereference_sched_check'
#define rcu_dereference_sched(p) rcu_dereference_sched_check(p, 0)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7101:13: note: in expansion of macro 'rcu_dereference_sched'
pid_list = rcu_dereference_sched(tr->function_pids);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reason is that rcu_dereference_sched() has a check that uses
typeof(*p) of the pointer passed to it. But here, the pointer is of type
"struct trace_pid_list *" which is abstracted out, and nothing outside of
pid_list.c should care what the content of it is. But the check uses
typeof(*p) and on some (not all) compilers, it errors with the
dereferencing pointer to incomplete type, which is totally bogus here.
Since the logic creates a pointer of each of these instances of
typeof(*p), just use typeof(p).
That is, instead of declaring: typeof(*p) *_p; just do:
typeof(p) _p;
Also had to update a lot of the function pointer initialization in the
networking code, as a function address must be passed as an argument in
RCU_INIT_POINTER() and not just the function name, otherwise the following
error occurs:
