KVM: selftests: Define and use a custom static assert in lib headers
Define and use kvm_static_assert() in the common KVM selftests headers to provide deterministic behavior, and to allow creating static asserts without dummy messages. The kernel's static_assert() makes the message param optional, and on the surface, tools/include/linux/build_bug.h appears to follow suit. However, glibc may override static_assert() and redefine it as a direct alias of _Static_assert(), which makes the message parameter mandatory. This leads to non-deterministic behavior as KVM selftests code that utilizes static_assert() without a custom message may or not compile depending on the order of includes. E.g. recently added asserts in x86_64/processor.h fail on some systems with errors like In file included from lib/memstress.c:11:0: include/x86_64/processor.h: In function ‘this_cpu_has_p’: include/x86_64/processor.h:193:34: error: expected ‘,’ before ‘)’ token static_assert(low_bit < high_bit); \ ^ due to _Static_assert() expecting a comma before a message. The "message optional" version of static_assert() uses macro magic to strip away the comma when presented with empty an __VA_ARGS__ #ifndef static_assert #define static_assert(expr, ...) __static_assert(expr, ##__VA_ARGS__, #expr) #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, msg) #endif // static_assert and effectively generates "_Static_assert(expr, #expr)". The incompatible version of static_assert() gets defined by this snippet in /usr/include/assert.h: #if defined __USE_ISOC11 && !defined __cplusplus # undef static_assert # define static_assert _Static_assert #endif which yields "_Static_assert(expr)" and thus fails as above. KVM selftests don't actually care about using C11, but __USE_ISOC11 gets defined because of _GNU_SOURCE, which many tests do #define. _GNU_SOURCE triggers a massive pile of defines in /usr/include/features.h, including _ISOC11_SOURCE: /* If _GNU_SOURCE was defined by the user, turn on all the other features. */ #ifdef _GNU_SOURCE # undef _ISOC95_SOURCE # define _ISOC95_SOURCE 1 # undef _ISOC99_SOURCE # define _ISOC99_SOURCE 1 # undef _ISOC11_SOURCE # define _ISOC11_SOURCE 1 # undef _POSIX_SOURCE # define _POSIX_SOURCE 1 # undef _POSIX_C_SOURCE # define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L # undef _XOPEN_SOURCE # define _XOPEN_SOURCE 700 # undef _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED # define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 1 # undef _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE # define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE 1 # undef _DEFAULT_SOURCE # define _DEFAULT_SOURCE 1 # undef _ATFILE_SOURCE # define _ATFILE_SOURCE 1 #endif which further down in /usr/include/features.h leads to: /* This is to enable the ISO C11 extension. */ #if (defined _ISOC11_SOURCE \ || (defined __STDC_VERSION__ && __STDC_VERSION__ >= 201112L)) # define __USE_ISOC11 1 #endif To make matters worse, /usr/include/assert.h doesn't guard against multiple inclusion by turning itself into a nop, but instead #undefs a few macros and continues on. As a result, it's all but impossible to ensure the "message optional" version of static_assert() will actually be used, e.g. explicitly including assert.h and #undef'ing static_assert() doesn't work as a later inclusion of assert.h will again redefine its version. #ifdef _ASSERT_H # undef _ASSERT_H # undef assert # undef __ASSERT_VOID_CAST # ifdef __USE_GNU # undef assert_perror # endif #endif /* assert.h */ #define _ASSERT_H 1 #include <features.h> Fixes: fcba483e ("KVM: selftests: Sanity check input to ioctls() at build time") Fixes: ee379553 ("KVM: selftests: Refactor X86_FEATURE_* framework to prep for X86_PROPERTY_*") Fixes: 53a7dc0f ("KVM: selftests: Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve CPUID values") Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221122013309.1872347-1-seanjc@google.com
