Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86, relocs: add function attributes to die()
When building the kernel with clang and some warning flags, the compiler
reports the following warning:
arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:979:6: warning: variable 'do_reloc' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!use_real_mode)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:991:14: note: uninitialized use occurs here
walk_relocs(do_reloc);
^~~~~~~~
arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:979:2: note: remove the 'if' if its
condition is always true
if (!use_real_mode)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:976:24: note: initialize the variable
'do_reloc' to silence this warning
const char *symname);
^
= NULL
This is obviously a false positive: whenever the 'if' condition is
false, the program calls die(). Nevertheless the compiler did not know
this call makes the program quit because this function did not have a
noreturn attribute. Add it.
While at it, add a printf attribute too to die() and constify the format
parameter. This leads to some errors when compiling on x86_64:
arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:460:5: error: format specifies type 'int'
but the argument has type 'Elf64_Xword' (aka 'unsigned long')
[-Werror,-Wformat]
sec->shdr.sh_size);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:464:5: error: format specifies type 'int'
but the argument has type 'Elf64_Off' (aka 'unsigned long')
[-Werror,-Wformat]
sec->shdr.sh_offset, strerror(errno));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To support both 32-bit and 64-bit modes, add casts to long types and use
%lu and %ld to format the numbers.
