Subject: [PATCH 00/10] raise minimum GCC version to 5.1
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2021 16:40:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210910234047.1019925-1-ndesaulniers@google.com> (raw)
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.
Additional patches cleaning up a few obsolete version checks.
