<title>gcc-15: make 'unterminated string initialization' just a warning</title>

gcc-15 enabling -Wunterminated-string-initialization in -Wextra by
default was done with the best intentions, but the warning is still
quite broken.

What annoys me about the warning is that this is a very traditional AND
CORRECT way to initialize fixed byte arrays in C:

	unsigned char hex[16] = "0123456789abcdef";

and we use this all over the kernel.  And the warning is fine, but gcc
developers apparently never made a reasonable way to disable it.  As is
(sadly) tradition with these things.

Yes, there's "__attribute__((nonstring))", and we have a macro to make
that absolutely disgusting syntax more palatable (ie the kernel syntax
for that monstrosity is just "__nonstring").

But that attribute is misdesigned.  What you'd typically want to do is
tell the compiler that you are using a type that isn't a string but a
byte array, but that doesn't work at all:

	warning: ‘nonstring’ attribute does not apply to types [-Wattributes]

and because of this fundamental mis-design, you then have to mark each
instance of that pattern.

This is particularly noticeable in our ACPI code, because ACPI has this
notion of a 4-byte "type name" that gets used all over, and is exactly
this kind of byte array.

This is a sad oversight, because the warning is useful, but really would
be so much better if gcc had also given a sane way to indicate that we
really just want a byte array type at a type level, not the broken "each
and every array definition" level.

So now instead of creating a nice "ACPI name" type using something like

	typedef char acpi_name_t[4] __nonstring;

we have to do things like

	char name[ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __nonstring;

in every place that uses this concept and then happens to have the
typical initializers.

This is annoying me mainly because I think the warning _is_ a good
warning, which is why I'm not just turning it off in disgust.  But it is
hampered by this bad implementation detail.

[ And obviously I'm doing this now because system upgrades for me are
  something that happen in the middle of the release cycle: don't do it
  before or during travel, or just before or during the busy merge
  window period. ]

Starting with Rust 1.86.0, Clippy's `needless_continue` lint complains
about the last statement of a loop [1], including cases like:

    while ... {
        match ... {
            ... if ... =&gt; {
                ...
                return ...;
            }
            _ =&gt; continue,
        }
    }

as well as nested `match`es in a loop.

One solution is changing `continue` for `()` [2], but arguably using
`continue` shows the intent better when it is alone in an arm like that.

Moreover, I am not sure we want to force people to try to find other
ways to write the code either, in cases when that applies.

In addition, the help text does not really apply in the new cases the
lint has introduced, e.g. here one cannot simply "drop" the expression:

    warning: this `continue` expression is redundant
      --&gt; rust/macros/helpers.rs:85:18
       |
    85 |             _ =&gt; continue,
       |                  ^^^^^^^^
       |
       = help: consider dropping the `continue` expression
       = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_continue
       = note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::needless-continue`

The examples in the documentation do not show a case like this, either,
so the second "help" line does not help.

In addition, locally disabling the lint is not possible with `expect`,
since the behavior differs across versions. Using `allow` would be
possible, but, even then, an extra line just for this is a bit too much,
especially if there are other ways to satisfy the lint.

Finally, the lint is still in the "pedantic" category and disabled by
default by Clippy.

Thus disable the lint, at least for the time being.

Feedback was submitted to upstream Clippy, in case this can be improved
or perhaps the lint split into several [3].

<id>84ffc79bfbf70c779e60218563f2f3ad45288671</id>
<content type='text'>
A recent optimization change in LLVM [1] aims to transform certain loop
idioms into calls to strlen() or wcslen(). This change transforms the
first while loop in UniStrcat() into a call to wcslen(), breaking the
build when UniStrcat() gets inlined into alloc_path_with_tree_prefix():

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: wcslen
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)

Disable this optimization with '-fno-builtin-wcslen', which prevents the
compiler from assuming that wcslen() is available in the kernel's C
library.

[ More to the point - it's not that we couldn't implement wcslen(), it's
  that this isn't an optimization at all in the context of the kernel.

  Replacing a simple inlined loop with a function call to the same loop
  is just stupid and pointless if you don't have long strings and fancy
  libraries with vectorization support etc.

  For the regular 'strlen()' cases, we want the compiler to do this in
  order to handle the trivial case of constant strings. And we do have
  optimized versions of 'strlen()' on some architectures. But for
  wcslen? Just no.    - Linus ]
