[PATCH] printf: fix Woverride-init warning for EDEADLK errno

[PATCH] printf: fix Woverride-init warning for EDEADLK errno

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

On most architectures, gcc -Wextra warns about the list of error
numbers containing both EDEADLK and EDEADLOCK:

lib/errname.c:15:67: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
   15 | #define E(err) [err + BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(err <= 0 || err > 300)] = "-" #err
      |                                                                   ^~~
lib/errname.c:172:2: note: in expansion of macro 'E'
  172 |  E(EDEADLK), /* EDEADLOCK */
      |  ^
lib/errname.c:15:67: note: (near initialization for 'names_0[35]')
   15 | #define E(err) [err + BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(err <= 0 || err > 300)] = "-" #err
      |                                                                   ^~~
lib/errname.c:172:2: note: in expansion of macro 'E'
  172 |  E(EDEADLK), /* EDEADLOCK */
      |  ^

Make that line conditional on the two values being distinct.

bad performance of gcc to warn twice about the same line and not
mentioning the line that has E(EDEADLOCK).

The comments suggest that duplicates are expected. Would it make sense
to add similar conditions to the other three entries?

NAK. That would end up using the "EDEADLOCK" string for the value 35 on
those architectures where they are the same, despite EDEADLK being the
by far the most used symbol. See the comments and original commit log,
the placement of these is deliberate.

How about we do this instead?

From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>

The table of errno value->name contains a few duplicate entries since
e.g. EDEADLK == EDEADLOCK on most architectures. For the known cases,
the most used symbolic constant is listed last so that takes
precedence - the idea being that if someone sees "can't do that:
-EDEADLK" in dmesg, grepping for EDEADLK is more likely to find the
place where that error was generated (grepping for "can't do that"
will find the printk() that emitted it, but the source would often be
a few calls down).

However, that means one gets

  warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]

when building with W=1. As the use of multiple initializers for the
same entry here is quite deliberate, explicitly disable that warning
for errname.o.

The other ones are always aliases, so there is no point in having
an #ifdef. The reason we need to handle EDEADLK separately
is that it's an alias on most architectures but not on on others,
specifically mips, powerpc and sparc.

This works, but it conflicts with a different patch series I have, and
it disables a potentially useful warning in case we get another conflict
in this file, so I'd prefer to find a way to avoid the warning rather
than force-disabling it.

How about adding the #ifdef around the EDEADLOCK line
instead of the EDEADLK one? Something like

Yeah, I think that it is better to explicitely disable the less used
variant in the code than hiding the double initialization. It will
be clear what is going on.

This should stay :-)

And we should remove the ECANCELLED definition. It is always the same
as ECANCELED and replaced. We do not define EWOULDBLOCK and
EREFUSED either.

No, Arnd moved it next to EDEADLOCK, which is fine (it can lose the
comment /* EDEADLOCK */, though; the comment on the ifdef is
sufficient). Especially when:

> And we should remove the ECANCELLED definition. It is always the same
> as ECANCELED and replaced. We do not define EWOULDBLOCK and
> EREFUSED either.

Yes, I'm not sure why I elided EWOULDBLOCK and EREFUSED but not
ECANCELLED. So let's move EAGAIN, ECONNREFUSED and ECANCELED to their
proper alphabetic place. But I also want to add a check that the things
we've elided match some value that we do handle. So add something like

#ifdef EREFUSED /* parisc */
static_assert(EREFUSED == ECONNREFUSED);
#endif

#ifdef ECANCELLED /* parisc */
static_assert(ECANCELLED == ECANCELED);
#endif

static_assert(EAGAIN == EWOULDBLOCK); /* everywhere */

so that if we ever import some arch that defines EREFUSED to something
other than ECONNREFUSED, it would be caught. Essentially, errname.c
should mention every #define E* that appears in any errno*.h.
