Hi Arnd,

What version of gcc-10 are you running? I'm having trouble generating
these warnings so I suspect I'm using a different version than you.

Regardless I can see your concern about the code, and I think I have a
solution.

Let me first verify that I understand the problem correctly. The issue
is the possibility of a stack smash in bitmap_set_value() when the value
of start + nbits is larger than the length of the map bitmap memory
region. This is because index (or index + 1) could be outside the range
of the bitmap memory region passed in as map. Is my understanding
correct here?

In xgpio_set_multiple(), the variables width[0] and width[1] serve as
possible start and nbits values for the bitmap_set_value() calls.
Because width[0] and width[1] are unsigned int variables, GCC considers
the possibility that the value of width[0]/width[1] might exceed the
length of the bitmap memory region named old and thus result in a stack
smash.

I don't know if invalid width values are actually possible for the
Xilinx gpio device, but let's err on the side of safety and assume this
is actually a possibility. We should verify that the combined value of
gpio_width[0] + gpio_width[1] does not exceed 64 bits; we can add a
check for this in xgpio_probe() when we grab the gpio_width values.

However, we're still left with the GCC warnings because GCC is not smart
enough to know that we've already checked the boundary and width[0] and
width[1] are valid values. I suspect we can avoid this warning is we
refactor bitmap_set_value() to increment map seperately and then set it:

static inline void bitmap_set_value(unsigned long *map,
unsigned long value,
unsigned long start, unsigned long nbits)
{
const unsigned long offset = start % BITS_PER_LONG;
const unsigned long ceiling = round_up(start + 1, BITS_PER_LONG);
const unsigned long space = ceiling - start;

map += BIT_WORD(start);
value &= GENMASK(nbits - 1, 0);

if (space >= nbits) {
*map &= ~(GENMASK(nbits - 1, 0) << offset);
*map |= value << offset;
} else {
*map &= ~BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK(start);
*map |= value << offset;
map++;
*map &= ~BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK(start + nbits);
*map |= value >> space;
}
}

This avoids adding a costly conditional check inside bitmap_set_value()
when almost all bitmap_set_value() calls will have static arguments with
well-defined and obvious boundaries.

Do you think this would be an acceptable solution to resolve your GCC
warnings?

Sincerely,
