From: Lukas Straub <lukasstraub2@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d27fff3499671dc23a08efd01cdb8b3764a391c4 ] arch.tls_array is statically allocated so checking for NULL doesn't make sense. This causes the compiler warning below. Remove the checks to silence these warnings. ../arch/x86/um/tls_32.c: In function 'get_free_idx': ../arch/x86/um/tls_32.c:68:13: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as 'true' for the address of 'tls_array' will never be NULL [-Waddress] 68 | if (!t->arch.tls_array) | ^ In file included from ../arch/x86/um/asm/processor.h:10, from ../include/linux/rcupdate.h:30, from ../include/linux/rculist.h:11, from ../include/linux/pid.h:5, from ../include/linux/sched.h:14, from ../arch/x86/um/tls_32.c:7: ../arch/x86/um/asm/processor_32.h:22:31: note: 'tls_array' declared here 22 | struct uml_tls_struct tls_array[GDT_ENTRY_TLS_ENTRIES]; | ^~~~~~~~~ ../arch/x86/um/tls_32.c: In function 'get_tls_entry': ../arch/x86/um/tls_32.c:243:13: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as 'true' for the address of 'tls_array' will never be NULL [-Waddress] 243 | if (!t->arch.tls_array) | ^ ../arch/x86/um/asm/processor_32.h:22:31: note: 'tls_array' declared here 22 | struct uml_tls_struct tls_array[GDT_ENTRY_TLS_ENTRIES]; | ^~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Lukas Straub <lukasstraub2@xxxxxx> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> # build-tested Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/um/tls_32.c | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/um/tls_32.c b/arch/x86/um/tls_32.c index ac8eee093f9c..66162eafd8e8 100644 --- a/arch/x86/um/tls_32.c +++ b/arch/x86/um/tls_32.c @@ -65,9 +65,6 @@ static int get_free_idx(struct task_struct* task) struct thread_struct *t = &task->thread; int idx; - if (!t->arch.tls_array) - return GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN; - for (idx = 0; idx < GDT_ENTRY_TLS_ENTRIES; idx++) if (!t->arch.tls_array[idx].present) return idx + GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN; @@ -240,9 +237,6 @@ static int get_tls_entry(struct task_struct *task, struct user_desc *info, { struct thread_struct *t = &task->thread; - if (!t->arch.tls_array) - goto clear; - if (idx < GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN || idx > GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MAX) return -EINVAL; -- 2.35.1
