Starting with Clang-7.0, _THIS_IP_ generates -Wreturn-stack-address warnings for almost every translation unit. In general, I'd prefer to leave this on (returning the address of a stack allocated variable is in general a bad idea) and disable it only at whitelisted call sites. We can't do something like: #pragma clang diagnostic push #pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wreturn-stack-address" <code> #pragma clang diagnostic pop in a GNU Statement Expression or macro, hence we use _Pragma, which is its raison d'être: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Pragmas.html Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.17, 4.14, 4.9, 4.4 Signed-off-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/kernel.h | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/kernel.h b/include/linux/kernel.h index 941dc0a5a877..5906f5727f90 100644 --- a/include/linux/kernel.h +++ b/include/linux/kernel.h @@ -168,7 +168,15 @@ #define _RET_IP_ (unsigned long)__builtin_return_address(0) -#define _THIS_IP_ ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&&__here; }) +#define _THIS_IP_ ( \ +{ \ + _Pragma("clang diagnostic push") \ + _Pragma("clang diagnostic ignored \"-Wreturn-stack-address\"") \ + __label__ __here; \ +__here: (unsigned long)&&__here; \ + _Pragma("clang diagnostic pop") \ +} \ +) #ifdef CONFIG_LBDAF # include <asm/div64.h> -- 2.18.0.233.g985f88cf7e-goog
