Commit aea447141c7e ("powerpc: Disable -Wbuiltin-requires-header when
setjmp is used") disabled -Wbuiltin-requires-header because of a warning
about the setjmp and longjmp declarations.

r367387 in clang added another diagnostic around this, complaining that
there is no jmp_buf declaration.

In file included from ../arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:47:
../arch/powerpc/include/asm/setjmp.h:10:13: error: declaration of
built-in function 'setjmp' requires the declaration of the 'jmp_buf'
type, commonly provided in the header <setjmp.h>.
[-Werror,-Wincomplete-setjmp-declaration]
extern long setjmp(long *);
            ^
../arch/powerpc/include/asm/setjmp.h:11:13: error: declaration of
built-in function 'longjmp' requires the declaration of the 'jmp_buf'
type, commonly provided in the header <setjmp.h>.
[-Werror,-Wincomplete-setjmp-declaration]
extern void longjmp(long *, long);
            ^
2 errors generated.

Take the same approach as the above commit by disabling the warning for
the same reason, we provide our own longjmp/setjmp function.

It may be worth using -fno-builtin-setjmp and -fno-builtin-longjmp
instead as it makes it clear to clang that we are not using the builtin
longjmp and setjmp functions, which I think is why these warnings are
appearing (at least according to the commit that introduced this waring).

Sample patch:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/625#issuecomment-519251372

However, this is the most conservative approach, as I have already had
someone notice this error when building LLVM with PGO on tip of tree
LLVM.

What about scripts/recordmcount.c and scripts/sortextable.c which 
contains calls to setjmp() and longjmp() ?

And arch/um/ ?

Hi Christophe,

It looks like all of those will be using the system's setjmp header,
which won't cause these warnings.

Cheers,
Nathan

Couldn't we just add those flags to CFLAGS for the whole kernel? Rather
than making them per-file.

I mean there's no kernel code that wants to use clang's builtin
setjmp/longjmp implementation at all right?

cheers

Yes, I don't think this would be unreasonable. Are you referring to the
cc-disable-warning flags or the -fno-builtin flags? I personally think
the -fno-builtin flags convey to clang what the kernel is intending to
do better than disabling the warnings outright.

I did a quick search of the tree and it looks like powerpc and x86/um
are the only architectures that do anything with setjmp/longjmp. x86/um
avoids this by using a define flag to change setjmp to kernel_setjmp:

arch/um/Makefile: -Dlongjmp=kernel_longjmp -Dsetjmp=kernel_setjmp \

Seems like adding those flags should be safe.

Cheers,
Nathan

The `-f` family of flags have dire implications for codegen, I'd
really prefer we think long and hard before adding/removing them to
suppress warnings.  I don't think it's a solution for this particular
problem.

I am fine with whatever approach gets this warning fixed to the
maintainer's satisfaction...

However, I think that -fno-builtin-* would be appropriate here because
we are providing our own setjmp implementation, meaning clang should not
be trying to do anything with the builtin implementation like building a
declaration for it.

Nathan

That's a good reason IMO.  IIRC, the -fno-builtin-* flags don't warn
if * is some unrecognized value, so -fno-builtin-setjmp may not
actually do anything, and you may need to scan the source (of clang or
llvm).

-fno-builtin-foo makes the compiler not handle "foo" the same as it
handles "__builtin_foo".  If the compiler has no idea about "foo", well,
that is exactly what it does then anyhow, so why would it warn :-)

No idea, PowerPC is the only architecture that does such a thing.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.S#n43

Goes back all the way to before git history (all the way to ppc64's
addition actually):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=61542216fa90397a2e70c46583edf26bc81994df

I would just like this warning fixed given that PowerPC builds with
-Werror by default so it is causing a build failure in our CI.

Cheers,
Nathan

Since setjmp can return more than once, yes, exciting things can happen
if you do not tell the compiler about this.

Fair enough so I guess we are back to just outright disabling the
warning.

Yeah.  I have a patch (will send in an hour or so) that enables the
"returns_twice" attribute for setjmp (in <asm/setjmp.h>).  In testing
(with GCC trunk) it showed no difference in code generation, but
better save than sorry.

It also sets "noreturn" on longjmp, and that *does* help, it saves a
hundred insns or so (all in xmon, no surprise there).

I don't think this will make LLVM shut up about this though.  And
technically it is right: the C standard does say that in hosted mode
setjmp is a reserved name and you need to include <setjmp.h> to access
it (not <asm/setjmp.h>).

So why is the kernel compiled as hosted?  Does adding -ffreestanding
hurt anything?  Is that actually supported on LLVM, on all relevant
versions of it?  Does it shut up the warning there (if not, that would
be an LLVM bug)?

It does not fix the warning, I tested your patch.

It does fix this warning because -ffreestanding implies -fno-builtin,
which also solves the warning. LLVM has supported -ffreestanding since
at least 3.0.0. There are some parts of the kernel that are compiled
with this and it probably should be used in more places but it sounds
like there might be some good codegen improvements that are disabled
with it:

For xmon.c and crash.c I think using -ffreestanding would be fine.
They're both crash/debug code, so we don't care about minor optimisation
differences. If anything we don't want the compiler being too clever
when generating that code.

I will send a v2 later today along with another patch to fix this
warning and another build error.
