The constant value is 0xFFFF FFFF E000 0000. So how is that implicit down cast causing it to become 0? Sparse is silly. But that aside, the sparc64 cmpxchg() code is silly as well: > vim +161 arch/sparc/include/asm/cmpxchg_64.h > > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 155 > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 156 static inline unsigned long > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 157 __cmpxchg(volatile void *ptr, unsigned long old, unsigned long new, int size) > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 158 { > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 159 switch (size) { > a12ee2349312d7 Babu Moger 2017-05-24 160 case 1: > a12ee2349312d7 Babu Moger 2017-05-24 @161 return __cmpxchg_u8(ptr, old, new); > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 162 case 4: > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 163 return __cmpxchg_u32(ptr, old, new); > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 164 case 8: > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 165 return __cmpxchg_u64(ptr, old, new); > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 166 } > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 167 __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer(); > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 168 return old; > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 169 } > d550bbd40c0e10 David Howells 2012-03-28 170 which gets invoked via: #define arch_cmpxchg(ptr,o,n) \ ({ \ __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o); \ __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n); \ (__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_, \ (unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr))); \ }) and then ends up in static inline unsigned long __cmpxchg_u32(volatile int *m, int old, int new) I'm sure a sparse build of sparc64 is full of those warnings. This just happens to add one to the existing noise. Oh well. tglx
