Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] Don't use BIT() macro in UAPI headers
Date: Fri, 21 May 2021 01:58:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210521085849.37676-1-joerichey94@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210520104343.317119-1-joerichey94@gmail.com>

From: Joe Richey <joerichey@google.com>

The BIT(n) macro is used in the kernel as an alias for (1 << n).
However, it is not defined in the UAPI headers, they should instead use
the _BITUL(n) macro. This patch chages all existing usages in UAPI
headers and updates ./scripts/checkpatch.pl to properly reccomend the
correct macro depending on context.

Running the below commands shows no more incorrect macro usages:
    rg "BIT\(" **/uapi/**
    rg "BIT_ULL\(" **/uapi/**

Tested by building a basic kernel. Changes are trivial.

I encountered this issue when compiling the following program:
    #include <sys/auxv.h>
    #include <asm/hwcap2.h>
    // Detect if FSGSBASE instructions are enabled
    int main() {
        unsigned long val = getauxval(AT_HWCAP2);
        return !(val & HWCAP2_FSGSBASE);
    }

Resulting in the following likner error:
    /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cceFpAdR.o: in function `main':
    gs.c:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `BIT'

Changes from V1 to V2:
  - Use _BITUL() macro instead of open-coding
  - Fixup HWCAP2_RING3MWAIT as well
  - Shorten commits and added "Fixes" per reviewer comments
  - checkpatch: Broaden UAPI regex
  - checkpatch: Reccomend _BITULL()/_BITUL() for UAPI headers

  drivers: firmware: psci:  Use _BITUL() macro in UAPI headers
  uacce: Use _BITUL() macro in UAPI headers
  media: vicodec: Use _BITUL() macro in UAPI headers
  tools headers UAPI: Sync pkt_sched.h with the kernel sources
  checkpatch: suggest _BITULL() and _BITUL() for UAPI headers
