[PATCH v2] x86/speculation: Use DECLARE_PER_CPU for x86_spec_ctrl_current

[PATCH v2] x86/speculation: Use DECLARE_PER_CPU for x86_spec_ctrl_current

[Nathan Chancellor]

Clang warns:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c:58:21: error: section attribute is specified on redeclared variable [-Werror,-Wsection]
  DEFINE_PER_CPU(u64, x86_spec_ctrl_current);
                      ^
  arch/x86/include/asm/nospec-branch.h:283:12: note: previous declaration is here
  extern u64 x86_spec_ctrl_current;
             ^
  1 error generated.

The declaration should be using DECLARE_PER_CPU instead so all
attributes stay in sync.

When I tried this earlier today I ran into cyclic headers, you sure this
works?

Yes, I did my regular set of x86 builds with clang and they all passed.

Hi, sorry to bother, any idea on the ETA for this fix getting into
Linus's tree? I'm trying to figure out if we should wait with 
forwarding the networking trees or this will take a while.

Well, I have that patch by now in my own clang tree, but was holding
it off just because I was expecting a few other fixes for the fallout.

But if this particular one causes problems for maintainers, I can
easily just take it right away just cherry-pick it from my own
test-tree to my "main" tree.

Oh, and as I did that cherry-pick, I suddenly remembered that I think
PeterZ had a slightly different version of it - the one I picked up is
Nathan's "v2".

PeterZ, do you have preferences? I've waited this long, I might as
well wait a bit more before I push out whatever version people prefer.

Nathan's is much nicer; I got bit by header hell and punted.

I have clang 13, let me double check this fix is enough for the build
to complete without disabling WERROR. If it's not a hassle it'd
certainly make my life easier if the fix gotten applied now...

I have clang 14 locally, and it builds fine with that (and doesn't
build without it).

I actually normally build the kernel with both gcc and clang. My
"upstream" kernel I build with gcc, and then I have my "private random
collection of patches" kernel that I build with clang and that are
just rebased on top of the kernel-of-the-day.

This is all entirely for historical reasons - part of my "private
random collection of patches" used to be the "asm goto with outputs",
which had clang support first.

But then the reason I never even noticed the build breakage with the
retbleed patches until much too late was that those I just had as a
third fork off my upstream kernel, so despite me usually building with
clang too, that only got attention from gcc.

So it's really just a microcosm version of the exact same bigger issue
we always have with those embargoed hw security patches: they end up
missing out on all the usual test environments.

Anyway, I cherry-picked Nathan's patch from my clang tree and pushed
it out as commit db886979683a ("x86/speculation: Use DECLARE_PER_CPU
for x86_spec_ctrl_current").

FWIW I can confirm - builds with clang 13 as well.
