build_bug.h: remove most of dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs for Sparse
The introduction of these dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs dates back to commmit 903c0c7cdc21 ("sparse: define dummy BUILD_BUG_ON definition for sparse"). At that time, BUILD_BUG_ON() was implemented with the negative array trick *and* the link-time trick, like this: extern int __build_bug_on_failed; #define BUILD_BUG_ON(condition) \ do { \ ((void)sizeof(char[1 - 2*!!(condition)])); \ if (condition) __build_bug_on_failed = 1; \ } while(0) Sparse is more strict about the negative array trick than GCC because Sparse requires the array length to be really constant. Here is the simple test code for the macro above: static const int x = 0; BUILD_BUG_ON(x); GCC is absolutely fine with it (-Wvla was enabled only very recently), but Sparse warns like this: error: bad constant expression error: cannot size expression (If you are using a newer version of Sparse, you will see a different warning message, "warning: Variable length array is used".) Anyway, Sparse was producing many false positives, and noisier than it should be at that time. With the previous commit, the leftover negative array trick is gone. Sparse is fine with the current BUILD_BUG_ON(), which is implemented by using the 'error' attribute. I am keeping the stub for BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(). Otherwise, Sparse would complain about the following code, which GCC is fine with: static const int x = 0; int y = BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(x); Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542856462-18836-3-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Tested-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
