minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere

2024-07-28T22:49:18+00:00

This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very traditional semantics. The goal is to use these for C constant expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to simplify the min()/max() macros. These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a few different approaches: - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new generic MIN/MAX macros automatically. - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the generic version automatically" case. - strange use case #1 A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their versioning is with #define MAJ 1 #define MIN 2 #define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN) which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as #define DRV_VERSION "1.2" instead. - strange use case #2 A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random 'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than the traditional macro that takes arguments. These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new function-line macros only expand when followed by an open parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use. Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version that does the same thing. I left such cases alone. Cc: David Laight Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

minmax: add a few more MIN_T/MAX_T users

2024-07-28T20:41:14+00:00

Commit 3a7e02c040b1 ("minmax: avoid overly complicated constant expressions in VM code") added the simpler MIN_T/MAX_T macros in order to avoid some excessive expansion from the rather complicated regular min/max macros. The complexity of those macros stems from two issues: (a) trying to use them in situations that require a C constant expression (in static initializers and for array sizes) (b) the type sanity checking and MIN_T/MAX_T avoids both of these issues. Now, in the whole (long) discussion about all this, it was pointed out that the whole type sanity checking is entirely unnecessary for min_t/max_t which get a fixed type that the comparison is done in. But that still leaves min_t/max_t unnecessarily complicated due to worries about the C constant expression case. However, it turns out that there really aren't very many cases that use min_t/max_t for this, and we can just force-convert those. This does exactly that. Which in turn will then allow for much simpler implementations of min_t()/max_t(). All the usual "macros in all upper case will evaluate the arguments multiple times" rules apply. We should do all the same things for the regular min/max() vs MIN/MAX() cases, but that has the added complexity of various drivers defining their own local versions of MIN/MAX, so that needs another level of fixes first.

minmax: avoid overly complex min()/max() macro arguments in xen

2024-07-26T22:09:07+00:00

We have some very fancy min/max macros that have tons of sanity checking to warn about mixed signedness etc. This is all things that a sane compiler should warn about, but there are no sane compiler interfaces for this, and '-Wsign-compare' is broken [1] and not useful. So then we compensate (some would say over-compensate) by doing the checks manually with some truly horrid macro games. And no, we can't just use __builtin_types_compatible_p(), because the whole question of "does it make sense to compare these two values" is a lot more complicated than that. For example, it makes a ton of sense to compare unsigned values with simple constants like "5", even if that is indeed a signed type. So we have these very strange macros to try to make sensible type checking decisions on the arguments to 'min()' and 'max()'. But that can cause enormous code expansion if the min()/max() macros are used with complicated expressions, and particularly if you nest these things so that you get the first big expansion then expanded again. The xen setup.c file ended up ballooning to over 50MB of preprocessed noise that takes 15s to compile (obviously depending on the build host), largely due to one single line. So let's split that one single line to just be simpler. I think it ends up being more legible to humans too at the same time. Now that single file compiles in under a second.
