Subject: [PATCH 01/10] Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2021 16:40:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210910234047.1019925-2-ndesaulniers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210910234047.1019925-1-ndesaulniers@google.com>

commit fad7cd3310db ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()")

raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in

commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code")

Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW. This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.

Also, because the macro is type agnostic, it is very difficult to write
a similarly type generic macro that dispatches to one of:
* div64_s64
* div64_u64
* div_s64
* div_u64

Raising the minimum supported versions allows us to remove all of the
fallback helpers for !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW, instead
dispatching the compiler builtins.

arm64 has already raised the minimum supported GCC version to 5.1, do
this for all targets now. See the link below for the previous
discussion.
