In this case the function being called is: void qapi_free_SocketAddress(SocketAddress *obj) and it's cast to a GDestroyNotify, which is typedef void (*GDestroyNotify) (gpointer data); (and gpointer is void*) and although you can pass a foo* to a function expecting void*, you can't treat a pointer to a function taking foo* as if it was a pointer to a function taking void*, just in case the compiler needs to do some clever trickery with the pointer value. So the wrapper function looks like it doesn't do anything, but it's doing the permitted implicit-cast of the argument. > Add a wrapper function to avoid the problem. > > Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> > --- > io/channel-socket.c | 6 +++++- > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/io/channel-socket.c b/io/channel-socket.c > index 3a899b0608..aa2a1c8586 100644 > --- a/io/channel-socket.c > +++ b/io/channel-socket.c > @@ -193,6 +193,10 @@ static void qio_channel_socket_connect_worker(QIOTask *task, > qio_task_set_error(task, err); > } > > +static void qio_qapi_free_SocketAddress(gpointer sa) > +{ > + qapi_free_SocketAddress(sa); > +} > > void qio_channel_socket_connect_async(QIOChannelSocket *ioc, > SocketAddress *addr, > @@ -213,7 +217,7 @@ void qio_channel_socket_connect_async(QIOChannelSocket *ioc, > qio_task_run_in_thread(task, > qio_channel_socket_connect_worker, > addrCopy, > - (GDestroyNotify)qapi_free_SocketAddress, > + qio_qapi_free_SocketAddress, > context); > } Reviewed-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> thanks -- PMM

The use of "(GDestroyNotify)blah" casts is standard practice across any application using GLib, and even in QEMU this is far from the only place that does such a cast: $ git grep '(GDestroyNotify)' chardev/char-socket.c: (GDestroyNotify)object_unref); hw/i386/kvm/xen_xenstore.c: g_list_free_full(w->events, (GDestroyNotify)free_watch_event); hw/i386/kvm/xenstore_impl.c: (GDestroyNotify)xs_node_unref); hw/i386/kvm/xenstore_impl.c: (GDestroyNotify)xs_node_unref); hw/i386/kvm/xenstore_impl.c: (GDestroyNotify)xs_node_unref); hw/mem/sparse-mem.c: (GDestroyNotify)g_free); hw/misc/xlnx-versal-cframe-reg.c: NULL, (GDestroyNotify)g_free); hw/virtio/virtio-iommu.c: NULL, (GDestroyNotify)g_free, hw/virtio/virtio-iommu.c: (GDestroyNotify)g_free); io/channel-socket.c: (GDestroyNotify)qapi_free_SocketAddress, io/net-listener.c: listener, (GDestroyNotify)object_unref, NULL); io/net-listener.c: listener, (GDestroyNotify)object_unref, context); io/net-listener.c: listener, (GDestroyNotify)object_unref, NULL); migration/block-dirty-bitmap.c: gdn = (GDestroyNotify) qapi_free_BitmapMigrationBitmapAlias; subprojects/libvhost-user/libvhost-user-glib.c: (GDestroyNotify) vug_source_destroy); system/memory.c: (GDestroyNotify) flatview_unref); tests/qtest/libqos/qgraph.c: g_test_queue_destroy((GDestroyNotify) qos_object_destroy, obj); tests/unit/test-vmstate.c: (GDestroyNotify)g_free, tests/unit/test-vmstate.c: (GDestroyNotify)g_free); tests/unit/test-vmstate.c: (GDestroyNotify)g_free, tests/unit/test-vmstate.c: (GDestroyNotify)g_free); ui/dbus-clipboard.c: (GDestroyNotify)qemu_clipboard_info_unref, ui/dbus-listener.c: (GDestroyNotify)qemu_free_displaysurface, ui/dbus-listener.c: (GDestroyNotify)pixman_image_unref, ui/dbus-listener.c: (GDestroyNotify)pixman_image_unref, pixman_image_ref(ddl->ds->image)); ui/dbus-listener.c: (GDestroyNotify)cursor_unref, ui/dbus.c: (GDestroyNotify)g_array_unref, consoles); I presume this means the rest of the code merely isn't exercised by the CI job test case this is fixing, but if we're saying this needs fixing, then we should be fixing all usage. Then there are many other function casts beyond GDestroyNotify that we use, which feel like they should have similar conceptual problems: $ git grep -E '\(\w+Func\)\w+' '*.c' | grep -v -E '(void|int|double|float|HANDLE)' chardev/char-fd.c: FEWatchFunc func = (FEWatchFunc)callback; chardev/char-fd.c: g_source_set_callback(child, (GSourceFunc)child_func, source, NULL); chardev/char-fd.c: g_source_set_callback(child, (GSourceFunc)child_func, source, NULL); chardev/char-fe.c: g_source_set_callback(src, (GSourceFunc)func, user_data, NULL); chardev/char-socket.c: g_source_set_callback(s->hup_source, (GSourceFunc)tcp_chr_hup, chardev/spice.c: GIOFunc func = (GIOFunc)callback; hw/i386/kvm/xenstore_impl.c: *items = g_list_insert_sorted(*items, g_strdup(key), (GCompareFunc)strcmp); io/channel-buffer.c: QIOChannelFunc func = (QIOChannelFunc)callback; io/channel-null.c: QIOChannelFunc func = (QIOChannelFunc)callback; io/channel-watch.c: QIOChannelFunc func = (QIOChannelFunc)callback; io/channel-watch.c: QIOChannelFunc func = (QIOChannelFunc)callback; io/channel-watch.c: QIOChannelFunc func = (QIOChannelFunc)callback; io/channel-websock.c: QIOChannelFunc func = (QIOChannelFunc)callback; io/channel.c: g_source_set_callback(source, (GSourceFunc)func, user_data, notify); io/channel.c: (GSourceFunc)qio_channel_wait_complete, io/net-listener.c: (GSourceFunc)qio_net_listener_wait_client_func, migration/migration.c: notify->notify = (NotifierWithReturnFunc)func; migration/rdma.c: QIOChannelFunc func = (QIOChannelFunc)callback; net/colo-compare.c: (GCompareDataFunc)seq_sorter, net/colo-compare.c: (GCompareFunc)colo_old_packet_check_one)) net/colo-compare.c: (GCompareFunc)colo_old_packet_check_one)) net/colo-compare.c: (GCompareFunc)colo_old_packet_check_one_conn); net/colo-compare.c: pkt, (GCompareFunc)HandlePacket); net/net.c: g_ptr_array_sort(results, (GCompareFunc)model_cmp); qga/commands-win32.c: getifentry2_ex = (GetIfEntry2Func)func; qga/vss-win32.c: func = (QGAVSSRequesterFunc)GetProcAddress(provider_lib, func_name); subprojects/libvhost-user/libvhost-user-glib.c: g_source_set_callback(gsrc, (GSourceFunc)vu_cb, data, NULL); system/qdev-monitor.c: g_ptr_array_sort(array, (GCompareFunc)qemu_pstrcmp0); target/i386/cpu.c: names = g_list_sort(names, (GCompareFunc)strcmp); tests/unit/test-qtree.c: tree = q_tree_new_full((GCompareDataFunc)my_compare, NULL, tests/unit/test-util-filemonitor.c: (GFunc)qemu_file_monitor_test_record_free, NULL); util/filemonitor-inotify.c: g_idle_add((GSourceFunc)qemu_file_monitor_free_idle, mon); util/qemu-option.c: g_ptr_array_sort(array, (GCompareFunc)qemu_pstrcmp0); So overall, I'm not in favour of this patch unless there's a compelling functional reason why just this 1 case is special and all the others can be safely ignored. > > > Add a wrapper function to avoid the problem. > > > > Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> > > --- > > io/channel-socket.c | 6 +++++- > > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/io/channel-socket.c b/io/channel-socket.c > > index 3a899b0608..aa2a1c8586 100644 > > --- a/io/channel-socket.c > > +++ b/io/channel-socket.c > > @@ -193,6 +193,10 @@ static void qio_channel_socket_connect_worker(QIOTask *task, > > qio_task_set_error(task, err); > > } > > > > +static void qio_qapi_free_SocketAddress(gpointer sa) > > +{ > > + qapi_free_SocketAddress(sa); > > +} > > > > void qio_channel_socket_connect_async(QIOChannelSocket *ioc, > > SocketAddress *addr, > > @@ -213,7 +217,7 @@ void qio_channel_socket_connect_async(QIOChannelSocket *ioc, > > qio_task_run_in_thread(task, > > qio_channel_socket_connect_worker, > > addrCopy, > > - (GDestroyNotify)qapi_free_SocketAddress, > > + qio_qapi_free_SocketAddress, > > context); > > } > > Reviewed-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> > > thanks > -- PMM > With regards, Daniel

We'd need to tackle them all.

We can't rely on the sanitizers to catch all cases where we're casting functions, as we don't have good enough code coverage in tests to identify all places that way. Unless there's a warning flag we can use to get diagnosis of this problem at compile time and then fix all reported issues, I won't have any confidence in our ability to remove -fsanitize-cfi-icall-generalize-pointers for CFI. > Maybe best if we really just add -fno-sanitize=function to the CFLAGS when > we're compiling with the sanitizer enabled. That's my recommendation for the short term. With regards, Daniel

You might think that -Wcast-function-type would detect them at compile time, but that has two loopholes: 1. void(*) (void) matches everything 2. any parameter of pointer type matches any other pointer type It seems to me rather inconsistent that the sanitizers do not match up with the warning semantics here. I think I would vote for raising that with the compiler folks -- either the sanitizer should be made looser so it matches the -Wcast-function-type semantics, or else a new tighter warning option that matches the sanitizer should be provided. Ideally both, I think. But it's definitely silly to have a runtime check that flags up things that the compiler perfectly well could detect at compile time but is choosing not to. thanks -- PMM

Slightly further investigation suggests clang 16 and later have -Wcast-function-type-strict for the "report all the same casts that the sanitizer does". gcc doesn't I think have that yet. I didn't spot any option in the sanitizer to loosen the set of things it considers mismatched function pointers. -- PMM

I just tried that with CC=clang ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --extra-cflags="-Wcast-function-type-strict" --disable-werror and it rather shows the futility of the task, picking one reoprted warning that is repeated over & over in differnt contexts: In file included from qapi/qapi-types-block-core.c:15: qapi/qapi-types-block-core.h:3620:1: warning: cast from 'void (*)(DummyBlockCoreForceArrays *)' (aka 'void (*)(struct DummyBlockCoreForceArrays *)') to 'void (*)(void)' converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict] 3620 | G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC(DummyBlockCoreForceArrays, qapi_free_DummyBlockCoreForceArrays) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h:1372:3: note: expanded from macro 'G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC' 1372 | _GLIB_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNCS(TypeName, TypeName, func) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h:1364:57: note: expanded from macro '_GLIB_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNCS' 1364 | { if (*_q) g_queue_free_full (*_q, (GDestroyNotify) (void(*)(void)) cleanup); } \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IOW, the GLib headers themselves have bad casts in macros which we rely on.

So the ultimate answer to the problem (at least right now) is: Let's use -fno-sanitize=function in QEMU. Thomas
