[PATCH] [v2] drm/i915/pmu: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning

[PATCH] [v2] drm/i915/pmu: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

The conditional spinlock confuses gcc into thinking the 'flags' value
might contain uninitialized data:

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_pmu.c: In function '__i915_pmu_event_read':
arch/x86/include/asm/paravirt_types.h:573:3: error: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

The code is correct, but it's easy to see how the compiler gets confused
here. This avoids the problem by pulling the lock outside of the function
into its only caller.

Hm, how does paravirt_types.h comes into the picture?

Is it specific gcc version, specific options, or specific kernel config 
that this happens?

Strange that it hasn't been seen so far.

spin_unlock_irqrestore() calls arch_local_irq_restore()

Not gcc version specific (same result with gcc-4.9 through 8, didn't test
earlier versions that are currently broken).

It seems to be a relatively rare 'randconfig' combination. Looking at
the preprocessed sources, I find:

static u64 get_rc6(struct drm_i915_private *i915, bool locked)
{

 unsigned long flags;
 u64 val;

 if (intel_runtime_pm_get_if_in_use(i915)) {
  val = __get_rc6(i915);
  intel_runtime_pm_put(i915);
  if (!locked)
   do { do { ({ unsigned long __dummy; typeof(flags) __dummy2;
(void)(&__dummy == &__dummy2); 1; }); do { do { do { ({ unsigned long
__dummy; typeof(flags) __dummy2; (void)(&__dummy == &__dummy2); 1; });
flags = arch_local_irq_save(); } while (0); trace_hardirqs_off(); }
while (0); do { __asm__ __volatile__("": : :"memory"); do { (void)0;
(void)(spinlock_check(&i915->pmu.lock)); } while (0); } while (0); }
while (0); } while (0); } while (0);

  if (val >= i915->pmu.sample[__I915_SAMPLE_RC6_ESTIMATED].cur) {
   i915->pmu.sample[__I915_SAMPLE_RC6_ESTIMATED].cur = 0;
   i915->pmu.sample[__I915_SAMPLE_RC6].cur = val;
  } else {
   val = i915->pmu.sample[__I915_SAMPLE_RC6_ESTIMATED].cur;
  }
  if (!locked)
   spin_unlock_irqrestore(&i915->pmu.lock, flags);
 } else {
  struct pci_dev *pdev = i915->drm.pdev;
  struct device *kdev = &pdev->dev;
  unsigned long flags2;
# 455 "/git/arm-soc/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_pmu.c"
  if (!locked)
   do { do { ({ unsigned long __dummy; typeof(flags) __dummy2;
(void)(&__dummy == &__dummy2); 1; }); do { do { do { ({ unsigned long
__dummy; typeof(flags) __dummy2; (void)(&__dummy == &__dummy2); 1; });
flags = arch_local_irq_save(); } while (0); trace_hardirqs_off(); }
while (0); do { __asm__ __volatile__("": : :"memory"); do { (void)0;
(void)(spinlock_check(&i915->pmu.lock)); } while (0); } while (0); }
while (0); } while (0); } while (0);

  do { do { ({ unsigned long __dummy; typeof(flags2) __dummy2;
(void)(&__dummy == &__dummy2); 1; }); do { do { do { ({ unsigned long
__dummy; typeof(flags2) __dummy2; (void)(&__dummy == &__dummy2); 1;
}); flags2 = arch_local_irq_save(); } while (0); trace_hardirqs_off();
} while (0); do { __asm__ __volatile__("": : :"memory"); do { (void)0;
(void)(spinlock_check(&kdev->power.lock)); } while (0); } while (0); }
while (0); } while (0); } while (0);

  if (!i915->pmu.sample[__I915_SAMPLE_RC6_ESTIMATED].cur)
   i915->pmu.suspended_jiffies_last =
      kdev->power.suspended_jiffies;

  val = kdev->power.suspended_jiffies -
        i915->pmu.suspended_jiffies_last;
  val += jiffies - kdev->power.accounting_timestamp;

  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&kdev->power.lock, flags2);

  val = jiffies_to_nsecs(val);
  val += i915->pmu.sample[__I915_SAMPLE_RC6].cur;
  i915->pmu.sample[__I915_SAMPLE_RC6_ESTIMATED].cur = val;

  if (!locked)
   spin_unlock_irqrestore(&i915->pmu.lock, flags);
 }
  return val;
}

so it seems that the spin_lock_irqsave() is completely inlined through
a macro while the unlock is not, and the lock contains a memory barrier
(among other things) that might tell the compiler that the state of the
'locked' flag could changed underneath it.

It could also be the problem that arch_local_irq_restore() uses
__builtin_expect() in  PVOP_TEST_NULL(op) when
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG is enabled, see

static inline __attribute__((unused))
__attribute__((no_instrument_function))
__attribute__((no_instrument_function)) void
arch_local_irq_restore(unsigned long f)
{
 ({ unsigned long __eax = __eax, __edx = __edx, __ecx = __ecx;; do {
if (__builtin_expect(!!(pv_irq_ops.restore_fl.func == ((void *)0)),
0)) do { do { asm volatile("1:\t" ".byte 0x0f, 0x0b" "\n"

("/git/arm-soc/arch/x86/include/asm/paravirt.h"), "i" (783), "i" (0),

[paravirt_clobber] "i" (((1 << 0) | (1 << 2))), "a" ((unsigned
long)(f)) : "memory", "cc" ); });
}

this seems to frequently confuse gcc, and turning off that NULL check
avoids the warning as well.

If you want to analyze it further, see https://pastebin.com/T2yLRqU5
for the .config file, but I'm pretty sure this is a known problem with gcc
that happens to be very hard to fix.

Ha, interesting. So it sounds more like us having to workaround a bug in 
the paravirt spinlock macros.

I think I would prefer a different solution, where we don't end up doing 
MMIO under irqsave spinlock. I'll send a patch.
