The kernel build regressions/improvements email contained a couple of issues with old compilers (in fact all the reports were on different architectures, but all gcc 5.5) and the FIELD_PREP() and FIELD_GET() conversions. They're all because an integer #define that should have been declared as unsigned, was shifted to the point that it could set the sign bit. The fix just involves making sure the defines use the "U" identifier on the constants to make sure they're unsigned. Should make the checkers happier. Confirmed with objdump before/after that there is no change to the binaries. Issues were reported as follows: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_base.c:238:7: note: in expansion of macro 'FIELD_GET' (FIELD_GET(GLINT_CTL_ITR_GRAN_25_M, regval) == ICE_ITR_GRAN_US)) ^ ./include/linux/compiler_types.h:435:38: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_1093' declared with attribute error: FIELD_GET: mask is not constant drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_nvm.c:709:16: note: in expansion of macro ‘FIELD_GET’ orom->major = FIELD_GET(ICE_OROM_VER_MASK, combo_ver); ^ ./include/linux/compiler_types.h:435:38: error: call to ‘__compiletime_assert_796’ declared with attribute error: FIELD_GET: mask is not constant drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_common.c:945:18: note: in expansion of macro ‘FIELD_GET’ u8 max_agg_bw = FIELD_GET(GL_PWR_MODE_CTL_CAR_MAX_BW_M, ^ ./include/linux/compiler_types.h:435:38: error: call to ‘__compiletime_assert_420’ declared with attribute error: FIELD_GET: mask is not constant drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_dcb.c:458:8: note: in expansion of macro ‘FIELD_GET’ oui = FIELD_GET(I40E_LLDP_TLV_OUI_MASK, ouisubtype); ^ Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d03e90ca-8485-4d1b-5ec1-c3398e0e8da@linux-m68k.org/ #i40e #ice Fixes: 62589808d73b ("i40e: field get conversion") Fixes: 5a259f8e0baf ("ice: field get conversion") Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240206022906.2194214-1-jesse.brandeburg@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
