Disable -Wattribute-alias for clang-23 and newer

2026-06-19T11:39:25+00:00

commit 175db11786bde9061db526bf1ac5107d915f5163 upstream. Clang recently added support for -Wattribute-alias [1], which results in the same warnings that necessitated commit bee20031772a ("disable -Wattribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx()") for GCC. kernel/time/itimer.c:325:1: error: alias and aliasee have different types 'long (unsigned int)' and 'long (typeof (__builtin_choose_expr((__builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof ((unsigned int)0), typeof (0LL)) || __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof ((unsigned int)0), typeof (0ULL))), 0LL, 0L)))' (aka 'long (long)') [-Werror,-Wattribute-alias] 325 | SYSCALL_DEFINE1(alarm, unsigned int, seconds) | ^ include/linux/syscalls.h:225:36: note: expanded from macro 'SYSCALL_DEFINE1' 225 | #define SYSCALL_DEFINE1(name, ...)

Disable the warning about unknown warning options to avoid breaking the build for versions of clang-23 that do not have -Wattribute-alias, such as ones deployed by vendors like Android or CI systems or when bisecting LLVM between llvmorg-23-init and release/23.x.

compiler-clang.h: define __SANITIZE_*__ macros only when undefined

2025-09-19T14:32:03+00:00

commit 3fac212fe489aa0dbe8d80a42a7809840ca7b0f9 upstream. Clang 22 recently added support for defining __SANITIZE__ macros similar to GCC [1], which causes warnings (or errors with CONFIG_WERROR=y or W=e) with the existing defines that the kernel creates to emulate this behavior with existing clang versions. In file included from :3: In file included from include/linux/compiler_types.h:171: include/linux/compiler-clang.h:37:9: error: '__SANITIZE_THREAD__' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined] 37 | #define __SANITIZE_THREAD__ | ^ :352:9: note: previous definition is here 352 | #define __SANITIZE_THREAD__ 1 | ^ Refactor compiler-clang.h to only define the sanitizer macros when they are undefined and adjust the rest of the code to use these macros for checking if the sanitizers are enabled, clearing up the warnings and allowing the kernel to easily drop these defines when the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel becomes 22.0.0 or newer.

2022-10-11T00:53:04+00:00

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

kmsan: introduce __no_sanitize_memory and __no_kmsan_checks

2022-10-03T21:03:19+00:00

__no_sanitize_memory is a function attribute that instructs KMSAN to skip a function during instrumentation. This is needed to e.g. implement the noinstr functions. __no_kmsan_checks is a function attribute that makes KMSAN ignore the uninitialized values coming from the function's inputs, and initialize the function's outputs. Functions marked with this attribute can't be inlined into functions not marked with it, and vice versa. This behavior is overridden by __always_inline. __SANITIZE_MEMORY__ is a macro that's defined iff the file is instrumented with KMSAN. This is not the same as CONFIG_KMSAN, which is defined for every file.

cfi: Switch to -fsanitize=kcfi

2022-09-26T17:13:13+00:00

Switch from Clang's original forward-edge control-flow integrity implementation to -fsanitize=kcfi, which is better suited for the kernel, as it doesn't require LTO, doesn't use a jump table that requires altering function references, and won't break cross-module function address equality.

cfi: Use __builtin_function_start

2022-04-13T19:16:00+00:00

Clang 14 added support for the __builtin_function_start function, which allows us to implement the function_nocfi macro without architecture-specific inline assembly and in a way that also works with static initializers. Change CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to depend on Clang >= 14, define function_nocfi using __builtin_function_start, and remove the arm64 inline assembly implementation.

compiler_types.h: Add unified __diag_ignore_all for GCC/LLVM

2022-03-05T23:29:36+00:00

Add a __diag_ignore_all macro, to ignore warnings for both GCC and LLVM, without having to specify the compiler type and version. By default, GCC 8 and clang 11 are used. This will be used by bpf subsystem to ignore -Wmissing-prototypes warning for functions that are meant to be global functions so that they are in vmlinux BTF, but don't have a prototype.
