Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 28/28] MIPS: tlbex: Explicitly compare _PAGE_NO_EXEC against 0

From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 74de14fe05dd6b151d73cb0c73c8ec874cbdcde6 ]

When CONFIG_XPA is enabled, Clang warns:

  arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c:629:24: error: converting the result of '<<' to a boolean; did you mean '(1 << _PAGE_NO_EXEC_SHIFT) != 0'? [-Werror,-Wint-in-bool-context]

          if (!cpu_has_rixi || !_PAGE_NO_EXEC) {

                                     ^
  2 errors generated.

_PAGE_NO_EXEC can be '0' or '1 << _PAGE_NO_EXEC_SHIFT' depending on the
build and runtime configuration, which is what the negation operators
are trying to convey. To silence the warning, explicitly compare against
0 so the result of the '<<' operator is not implicitly converted to a
boolean.

According to its documentation, GCC enables -Wint-in-bool-context with
-Wall but this warning is not visible when building the same
configuration with GCC. It appears GCC only warns when compiling C++,
not C, although the documentation makes no note of this:
