The reason is entirely separate from what resctrl selftest expects. a-d are output parameters for __cpuid_count(), they need this treatment because they are typically not initialized but set by __cpuid_count() so if __cpuid_count() is doing literally nothing, nothing touches those four variables leading to unused variable warning. > This is intended as a general kselftest solution so > I believe > that all parameters would need this casting to handle the cases where "level" > and/or > "count" are variables. No, the same issue does not exist for input parameters because it would be a valid warning. Passing uninitialized (and thus unused) input variable is wrong so the calling logic is wrong. Thus, I don't see how the same error could ever occur in a legitimate case for those two parameters. > > +} while (0) > > +#endif > > #endif > > /* define kselftest exit codes */ > > diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk > > index d6edcfcb5be8..236db9b24037 100644 > > --- a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk > > +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk > > @@ -199,6 +199,10 @@ clean: $(if $(TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR),clean_mods_dir) > > # Build with _GNU_SOURCE by default > > CFLAGS += -D_GNU_SOURCE= > > +ifeq ($(ARCH),$(filter $(ARCH),x86 x86_64)) > > +CFLAGS += -DHAVE_CPUID= > > +endif > > My earlier comment [1] when this work started remains.

I'd missed that comment because it started mid-paragraph. I wonder if I can safely touch ARCH or if there are caveats and it would be better to use some other makefile variable.

If I understand correctly, the scenarios below are legitimate cases and will produce compile warnings with this patch applied. It is not obvious to me that the calling logic is wrong in these cases. If the output parameters get special treatment to avoid compile warnings, should input parameters not also? scenario 1: unsigned int level = 0x10, count = 1; unsigned int a, b, c, d; __cpuid_count(level, count, a, b, c ,d); Above produces "unused variable" warnings for level and count. scenario 2: unsigned int level, count, a, b, c, d; level = 0x10; count = 1; __cpuid_count(level, count, a, b, c ,d); Above produces "set but not used" warnings for level and count. The changelog states that the goal of this change is to produce an empty stub. To me this creates expectation of what we are used to and expect from if it would be an actual empty stub.

Ah, so you meant a different warning. Yes, I'll add void casts for those input parameters as well to avoid this. > The changelog states that the goal of this change is to produce an > empty stub.

For example, > static inline void __cpuid_count(unsigned level, unsigned count, > unsigned int a, unsigned b, > unsigned int c, unsigned d) { } For void functions, yes. But if it would return int, it wouldn't be literally "empty", that is, it is still be empty stub but does something so a very literal interpretation of "empty" is flawed anyway. But I can drop empty word from there, "stub" seems enough for the purpose.

Obviously it's not a requirement, but I'd put each recommendation into own paragraph to maximize likelihoods its not missed. Despite the paragraph containing answers to two different questions, my mind I only registered the answer for the trivial program question. Again, I'm sorry about that.
