Subject: include/linux/bitrev.h: fix constant bitrev
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
commit 6147e136ff5071609b54f18982dea87706288e21 upstream.
clang points out with hundreds of warnings that the bitrev macros have a
problem with constant input:
drivers/hwmon/sht15.c:187:11: error: variable '__x' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization
[-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
u8 crc = bitrev8(data->val_status & 0x0F);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/bitrev.h:102:21: note: expanded from macro 'bitrev8'
__constant_bitrev8(__x) : \
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~
include/linux/bitrev.h:67:11: note: expanded from macro '__constant_bitrev8'
u8 __x = x; \
~~~ ^
Both the bitrev and the __constant_bitrev macros use an internal
variable named __x, which goes horribly wrong when passing one to the
other.
The obvious fix is to rename one of the variables, so this adds an extra
'_'.
It seems we got away with this because
- there are only a few drivers using bitrev macros
- usually there are no constant arguments to those
- when they are constant, they tend to be either 0 or (unsigned)-1
(drivers/isdn/i4l/isdnhdlc.o, drivers/iio/amplifiers/ad8366.c) and
give the correct result by pure chance.
In fact, the only driver that I could find that gets different results
with this is drivers/net/wan/slic_ds26522.c, which in turn is a driver
for fairly rare hardware (adding the maintainer to Cc for testing).
