FWIW, this series has found at least one bug so far: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAFCwf11izHF=g1mGry1fE5kvFFFrxzhPSM6qKAO8gxSp=Kr_CQ@mail.gmail.com/

All that fixing this error will do is get the driver to print "oh dear there's a problem" under four more conditions than it previously did. We've been at this for three years now with nearly a thousand patches, firstly marking all the fall throughs with /* fall through */ and later changing it to fallthrough. At some point we do have to ask if the effort is commensurate with the protection afforded. Please tell me our reward for all this effort isn't a single missing error print. James

It isn't that much effort, isn't it? Plus we need to take into account the future mistakes that it might prevent, too. So even if there were zero problems found so far, it is still a positive change. I would agree if these changes were high risk, though; but they are almost trivial. Cheers, Miguel

Yuo should ask how many hours could have been saved by all the bugs people have been fighting with and then fixed *before* the code hit the kernel at all. My personal experience is that I, more than once, have had errors related to a missing break in my code. So this warnings is IMO a win. And if we are only ~100 patches to have it globally enabled then it is a no-brainer in my book. Sam

Well, it seems to be three years of someone's time plus the maintainer review time and series disruption of nearly a thousand patches. Let's be conservative and assume the producer worked about 30% on the series and it takes about 5-10 minutes per patch to review, merge and for others to rework existing series. So let's say it's cost a person year of a relatively junior engineer producing the patches and say 100h of review and application time. The latter is likely the big ticket item because it's what we have in least supply in the kernel (even though it's 20x vs the producer time). > Plus we need to take into account the future mistakes that it might > prevent, too.

Well, the question I was asking is if it's worth the cost which I've tried to outline above. > I would agree if these changes were high risk, though; but they are > almost trivial. It's not about the risk of the changes it's about the cost of implementing them. Even if you discount the producer time (which someone gets to pay for, and if I were the engineering manager, I'd be unhappy about), the review/merge/rework time is pretty significant in exchange for six minor bug fixes. Fine, when a new compiler warning comes along it's certainly reasonable to see if we can benefit from it and the fact that the compiler people think it's worthwhile is enough evidence to assume this initially. But at some point you have to ask whether that assumption is supported by the evidence we've accumulated over the time we've been using it. And if the evidence doesn't support it perhaps it is time to stop the experiment. James

Well, I was curious about the former (obviously no tool will tell me about the latter), so I asked git what patches had a fall-through series named in a fixes tag and these three popped out: 9cf51446e686 bpf, powerpc: Fix misuse of fallthrough in bpf_jit_comp() 6a9dc5fd6170 lib: Revert use of fallthrough pseudo-keyword in lib/ 91dbd73a1739 mips/oprofile: Fix fallthrough placement I don't think any of these is fixing a significant problem, but they did cause someone time and trouble to investigate.

Maintainers routinely review 1-line trivial patches, not to mention internal API changes, etc. If some company does not want to pay for that, that's fine, but they don't get to be maintainers and claim `Supported`.

Really, no ... something which produces no improvement has no value at all ... we really shouldn't be wasting maintainer time with it because it has a cost to merge. I'm not sure we understand where the balance lies in value vs cost to merge but I am confident in the zero value case. > "The sucky thing about doing hard work to deploy hardening is that > the result is totally invisible by definition (things not happening) > [..]" > - Dmitry Vyukov Really, no. Something that can't be measured at all doesn't exist. And actually hardening is one of those things you can measure (which I do have to admit isn't true for everything in the security space) ... it's number of exploitable bugs found before you did it vs number of exploitable bugs found after you did it. Usually hardening eliminates a class of bug, so the way I've measured hardening before is to go through the CVE list for the last couple of years for product X, find all the bugs that are of the class we're looking to eliminate and say if we had hardened X against this class of bug we'd have eliminated Y% of the exploits. It can be quite impressive if Y is a suitably big number. James

For example, "There is no way to guess what the effect would be if the compiler trained programmers to add a knee-jerk 'break' statement to avoid a warning". Moreover, what I meant was that preventing programmer mistakes is a problem to be solved by development tools.

And if you put -Wimplicit-fallthrough into the Makefile and if that leads to well-intentioned patches that cause regressions, it is partly on you. Have you ever considered the overall cost of the countless -Wpresume-incompetence flags? Perhaps you pay the power bill for a build farm that produces logs that no-one reads? Perhaps you've run git bisect, knowing that the compiler messages are not interesting? Or compiled software in using a language that generates impenetrable messages? If so, here's a tip: # grep CFLAGS /etc/portage/make.conf CFLAGS="... -Wno-all -Wno-extra ..."

Ideally, that proof would be provided by the compilation system itself and not patch authors nor reviewers nor maintainers. Unfortunately gcc does not guarantee repeatability or deterministic output.

While the last case looks harmless, there were only 1 or 2 across the tree in my limited configuration testing; I really think we should just add `break`s for those.

I think Clang is right to warn for these, and GCC should also warn.

We can't measure how many future bugs aren't introduced because the kernel requires explicit case flow-control statements for all new code. We already enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough globally, so that's not the discussion. The issue is that Clang is (correctly) even more strict than GCC for this, so these are the remaining ones to fix for full Clang coverage too. People have spent more time debating this already than it would have taken to apply the patches. :) This is about robustness and language wrangling. It's a big code-base, and this is the price of our managing technical debt for permanent robustness improvements. (The numbers I ran from Gustavo's earlier patches were that about 10% of the places adjusted were identified as legitimate bugs being fixed. This final series may be lower, but there are still bugs being found from it -- we need to finish this and shut the door on it for good.)

There is no "language spec" the kernel adheres to. Even if it did, kernel code is not frozen.

We use compiler extensions of several kinds, for many years. Even discounting those extensions, the kernel is not even conforming to C due to e.g. strict aliasing.

No, we aren't particularly tied to `gnu89` or anything like that. We could actually go for `gnu11` already, since the minimum GCC and Clang support it. Even if a bit of code needs fixing, that shouldn't be a problem if someone puts the work. In other words, the kernel code is not frozen, nor are the features it uses from compilers. They do, in fact, change from time to time. > Thank you for checking. I found a free version that's only 6 weeks old: You're welcome!

No but we can measure how vulnerable our current coding habits are to the mistake this warning would potentially prevent. I don't think it's wrong to extrapolate that if we had no instances at all of prior coding problems we likely wouldn't have any in future either making adopting the changes needed to enable the warning valueless ... that's the zero value case I was referring to above. Now, what we have seems to be about 6 cases (at least what's been shown in this thread) where a missing break would cause potentially user visible issues. That means the value of this isn't zero, but it's not a no-brainer massive win either.

I got my six patches by analyzing the lwn.net report of the fixes that was cited which had 21 of which 50% didn't actually change the emitted code, and 25% didn't have a user visible effect. But the broader point I'm making is just because the compiler people come up with a shiny new warning doesn't necessarily mean the problem it's detecting is one that causes us actual problems in the code base. I'd really be happier if we had a theory about what classes of CVE or bug we could eliminate before we embrace the next new warning. James

You're assuming burn out or recruitment problems is due to patch workload or too many "trivial" patches. In my experience, "other maintainers" is by far the biggest cause of burn out for my kernel maintenance work. Certainly arguing with a maintainer about some obviously-correct patch series must be a good example of this. Sean

In my practice most of the one line patches were either to fix or to introduce quite interesting issues. 1 minute is 2-3 orders less than usually needed for such patches. That's why I don't like churn produced by people who often even didn't compile their useful contributions.

It's certainly a clinching argument in defence procurement ... So developers and distributions using Clang can't have -Wimplicit-fallthrough enabled because GCC is less strict (which has been shown in this thread to lead to bugs)? We'd like to have nice things too, you know. I even agree that most of the churn comes from case 0: ++x; default: break; which I have a patch for: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91895. I agree that can never lead to bugs. But that's not the sole case of this series, just most of them. Though, note how the reviewer (C++ spec editor and clang front end owner) in https://reviews.llvm.org/D91895 even asks in that review how maybe a new flag would be more appropriate for a watered down/stylistic variant of the existing behavior. And if the current wording of Documentation/process/deprecated.rst around "fallthrough" is a straightforward rule of thumb, I kind of agree with him. > > > This is about robustness and language wrangling.

I'd encourage you to bring that up when that actually occurs, unlike this case since it's actively hindering getting -Wimplicit-fallthrough enabled for Clang. This is not a shiny new warning; it's already on for GCC and has existed in both compilers for multiple releases. And I'll also note that warnings are warnings and not errors because they cannot be proven to be bugs in 100% of cases, but they have led to bugs in the past. They require a human to review their intent and remove ambiguities. If 97% of cases would end in a break ("Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets" - Peter van der Linden), then it starts to look to me like a language defect; certainly an incorrectly chosen default. But the compiler can't know those 3% were intentional, unless you're explicit for those exceptional cases. > it's detecting is one that causes us actual problems in the code base. > I'd really be happier if we had a theory about what classes of CVE or > bug we could eliminate before we embrace the next new warning. We don't generally file CVEs and waiting for them to occur might be too reactive, but I agree that pointing to some additional documentation in commit messages about how a warning could lead to a bug would make it clearer to reviewers why being able to enable it treewide, even if there's no bug in their particular subsystem, is in the general interest of the commons.

It's critical to the longevity of any open source project that there are not single points of failure. If someone is not expendable or replaceable (or claims to be) then that's a risk to the project and a bottleneck. Not having a replacement in training or some form of redundancy is short sighted. If trivial patches are adding too much to your workload, consider training a co-maintainer or asking for help from one of your reviewers whom you trust. I don't doubt it's hard to find maintainers, but existing maintainers should go out of their way to entrust co-maintainers especially when they find their workload becomes too high. And reviewing/picking up trivial patches is probably a great way to get started. If we allow too much knowledge of any one subsystem to collect with one maintainer, what happens when that maintainer leaves the community (which, given a finite lifespan, is an inevitability)?

It looks like a benign typo to me -- `ENUM_VALUE2` does not follow the same pattern like `ENUM_VALUE1`. To me, the presence of the `default` is what indicates (explicitly) that not everything is handled. > Applying a real patch set and then getting a few follow ups the next day > for trivial coding things like fallthrough missing or static missing, > just because I didn't have the full range of compilers to check with > before applying makes me feel pretty shitty, like I'm not doing a good > job. YMMV. The number of compilers, checkers, static analyzers, tests, etc. we use keeps going up. That, indeed, means maintainers will miss more things (unless maintainers do more work than before). But catching bugs before they happen is *not* a bad thing. Perhaps we could encourage more rebasing in -next (while still giving credit to bots and testers) to avoid having many fixing commits afterwards, but that is orthogonal. I really don't think we should encourage the feeling that a maintainer is doing a bad job if they don't catch everything on their reviews. Any review is worth it. Maintainers, in the end, are just the "guaranteed" reviewers that decide when the code looks reasonable enough. They should definitely not feel pressured to be perfect. Cheers, Miguel

The number is much higher[1]. If it were 6 in the entire history of the kernel, I would agree with you. :) Some were fixed _before_ Gustavo's effort too, which I also count towards the idea of "this is a dangerous weakness in C, and now we have stopped it forever." > But the broader point I'm making is just because the compiler people > come up with a shiny new warning doesn't necessarily mean the problem > it's detecting is one that causes us actual problems in the code base. > I'd really be happier if we had a theory about what classes of CVE or > bug we could eliminate before we embrace the next new warning. But we did! It was long ago justified and documented[2], and even links to the CWE[3] for it. This wasn't random joy over discovering a new warning we could turn on, this was turning on a warning that the compiler folks finally gave us to handle an entire class of flaws. If we need to update the code-base to address it not a useful debate -- that was settled already, even if you're only discovering it now. :P. This last patch set is about finishing that work for Clang, which is correctly even more strict than GCC. -Kees [1] https://outflux.net/slides/2019/lss/kspp.pdf calls out specific numbers (about 6.5% of the patches fixed missing breaks): v4.19: 3 of 129 v4.20: 2 of 59 v5.0: 3 of 56 v5.1: 10 of 100 v5.2: 6 of 71 v5.3: 7 of 69 And in the history of the kernel, it's been an ongoing source of flaws: $ l --no-merges | grep -i 'missing break' | wc -l 185 The frequency of such errors being "naturally" found was pretty steady until the static checkers started warning, and then it was on the rise, but the full effort flushed the rest out, and now it's dropped to almost zero: 1 v2.6.12 3 v2.6.16.28 1 v2.6.17 1 v2.6.19 2 v2.6.21 1 v2.6.22 3 v2.6.24 3 v2.6.29 1 v2.6.32 1 v2.6.33 1 v2.6.35 4 v2.6.36 3 v2.6.38 2 v2.6.39 7 v3.0 2 v3.1 2 v3.2 2 v3.3 3 v3.4 1 v3.5 8 v3.6 7 v3.7 3 v3.8 6 v3.9 3 v3.10 2 v3.11 5 v3.12 5 v3.13 2 v3.14 4 v3.15 2 v3.16 3 v3.17 2 v3.18 2 v3.19 1 v4.0 2 v4.1 5 v4.2 4 v4.5 5 v4.7 6 v4.8 1 v4.9 3 v4.10 2 v4.11 6 v4.12 3 v4.13 2 v4.14 5 v4.15 2 v4.16 7 v4.18 2 v4.19 6 v4.20 3 v5.0 12 v5.1 3 v5.2 4 v5.3 2 v5.4 1 v5.8 And the reason it's fully zero, is because we still have the cases we're cleaning up right now. Even this last one from v5.8 is specifically of the same type this series addresses: case 4: color_index = TrueCModeIndex; + break; default: return; } [2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#implicit-switch-case-fall-through All switch/case blocks must end in one of: break; fallthrough; continue; goto <label>; return [expression]; [3] https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/484.html

YMMV. I understand. Everyone feels that way, except maybe Bond villains and robots. My advice in that case is don't take it personally. We're working with a language that's more error prone relative to others. While one would like to believe they are flawless, over time they can't beat the aggregate statistics. A balance between Imposter Syndrome and Dunning Kruger is walked by all software developers, and the fear of making mistakes in public is one of the number one reasons folks don't take the plunge contributing to open source software or even the kernel. My advice to them is "don't sweat the small stuff."

Have we found any cases yet that are divergent? I don't think so. It sounds to me like GCC's cases it warns for is a subset of Clang's.

I don't think we need to wait for the ink to dry on the C23 language spec to understand that implicit fallthrough is an obvious defect of the C language. While the kernel is a mature codebase, it's not immune to bugs. And its maturity has yet to slow its rapid pace of development.

To make the intent clear, you have to first be certain that you understand the intent; otherwise by adding either a break or a fallthrough to suppress the warning you are just destroying the information that "the intent of this code is unknown". Figuring out the intent of a piece of unfamiliar code takes more than 1 minute; just because case foo: thing; case bar: break; produces identical code to case foo: thing; break; case bar: break; doesn't mean that *either* is correct — maybe the author meant to write case foo: return thing; case bar: break; and by inserting that break you've destroyed the marker that would direct someone who knew what the code was about to look at that point in the code and spot the problem. Thus, you *always* have to look at more than just the immediate mechanical context of the code, to make a proper judgement that yes, this was the intent. If you think that that sort of thing can be done in an *average* time of one minute, then I hope you stay away from code I'm responsible for! One minute would be an optimistic target for code that, as the maintainer, one is already somewhat familiar with. For code that you're seeing for the first time, as is usually the case with the people doing these mechanical fix-a-warning patches, it's completely unrealistic. A warning is only useful because it makes you *think* about the code. If you suppress the warning without doing that thinking, then you made the warning useless; and if the warning made you think about code that didn't *need* it, then the warning was useless from the start. So make your mind up: does Clang's stricter -Wimplicit-fallthrough flag up code that needs thought (in which case the fixes take effort both to author and to review) or does it flag up code that can be mindlessly "fixed" (in which case the warning is worthless)? Proponents in this thread seem to be trying to have it both ways. -ed

I don't think so. There are many implementations, so I think you are guaranteed to find more divergence if you look. That's because the spec is full of language like this: "implementations are encouraged not to emit a diagnostic" and "implementations are encouraged to issue a diagnostic". Some implementations will decide to not emit (under the premise that vast amounts of existing code would have to get patched until the compiler goes quiet) whereas other implementations will decide to emit (under the premise that the author is doing the checking and not the janitor or the packager). > It sounds to me like GCC's cases it warns for is a subset of Clang's. > Having additional coverage with Clang then should ensure coverage for > both. > If that claim were true, the solution would be simple. (It's not.) For the benefit of projects that enable -Werror and projects that nominated gcc as their preferred compiler, clang would simply need a flag to enable conformance with gcc by suppressing those additional warnings that clang would normally produce. This simple solution is, of course, completely unworkable, since it would force clang to copy some portion of gcc's logic (rewritten under LLVM's unique license) and then to track future changes to that portion of gcc indefinitely.

I don't think so. You mean, aside from -Wimplicit-fallthrough? I'm glad you asked. How about -Wincompatible-pointer-types and -Wframe-larger-than? All of the following files have been affected by divergent diagnostics produced by clang and gcc. arch/arm64/include/asm/neon-intrinsics.h arch/powerpc/xmon/Makefile drivers/gpu/drm/i915/Makefile drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_utils.h drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_subdev.c fs/ext4/super.c include/trace/events/qla.h net/mac80211/rate.c tools/lib/string.c tools/perf/util/setup.py tools/scripts/Makefile.include And if I searched for 'smatch' or 'coverity' instead of 'clang' I'd probably find more divergence. Here are some of the relevant commits. 0738c8b5915c7eaf1e6007b441008e8f3b460443 9c87156cce5a63735d1218f0096a65c50a7a32aa babaab2f473817f173a2d08e410c25abf5ed0f6b 065e5e559555e2f100bc95792a8ef1b609bbe130 93f56de259376d7e4fff2b2d104082e1fa66e237 6c4798d3f08b81c2c52936b10e0fa872590c96ae b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c 093b75ef5995ea35d7f6bdb6c7b32a42a1999813 And before you object, "but -Wconstant-logical-operand is a clang-only warning! it can't be divergent with gcc!", consider that the special cases added to deal with clang-only warnings have to be removed when gcc catches up, which is more churn. Now multiply that by the number of checkers you care about.

That should trigger a warning. The fallthrough to a break should not generate a warning. The bug we're trying to fix is "missing break statement" but if the result of the bug is "we hit a break statement" then now we're just talking about style. GCC should limit itself to warning about potentially buggy code. regards, dan carpenter

If adding a break statement changes the flow of the code then warn about potentially missing break statements, but if it doesn't change anything then don't warn about it. regards, dan carpenter
Hi all, This series aims to fix almost all remaining fall-through warnings in order to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang. In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, explicitly add multiple break/goto/return/fallthrough statements instead of just letting the code fall through to the next case. Notice that in order to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, this change[1] is meant to be reverted at some point. So, this patch helps to move in that direction. Something important to mention is that there is currently a discrepancy between GCC and Clang when dealing with switch fall-through to empty case statements or to cases that only contain a break/continue/return statement[2][3][4]. Now that the -Wimplicit-fallthrough option has been globally enabled[5], any compiler should really warn on missing either a fallthrough annotation or any of the other case-terminating statements (break/continue/return/ goto) when falling through to the next case statement. Making exceptions to this introduces variation in case handling which may continue to lead to bugs, misunderstandings, and a general lack of robustness. The point of enabling options like -Wimplicit-fallthrough is to prevent human error and aid developers in spotting bugs before their code is even built/ submitted/committed, therefore eliminating classes of bugs. So, in order to really accomplish this, we should, and can, move in the direction of addressing any error-prone scenarios and get rid of the unintentional fallthrough bug-class in the kernel, entirely, even if there is some minor redundancy. Better to have explicit case-ending statements than continue to have exceptions where one must guess as to the right result. The compiler will eliminate any actual redundancy. Note that there is already a patch in mainline that addresses almost 40,000 of these issues[6]. I'm happy to carry this whole series in my own tree if people are OK with it. :) [1] commit e2079e93f562c ("kbuild: Do not enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for clang for now") [2] ClangBuiltLinux#636 [3] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91432 [4] https://godbolt.org/z/xgkvIh [5] commit a035d552a93b ("Makefile: Globally enable fall-through warning") [6] commit 4169e889e588 ("include: jhash/signal: Fix fall-through warnings for Clang") Thanks!
