Shouldn't this be __user as well? (and below)

unsigned int instr;
void __user *pc;

The __user can clear the warning, but a new warning will be generated.

instr = __mem_to_opcode_thumb16(((u16 *)pc)[0]);
      ^new                           ^old

This is because dereferencing a __user pointer is not permitted.

So this code should be using get_kernel_nofault() here not a plain
dereference of PC. So better to fix that properly instead of papering
over it with a __force cast just to make sparse happy.

I have a general principle that not all warnings should be fixed,
especially when it comes to sparse.

The aim is not to get to zero warnings - it's to get to a point where
the code is correct, and plastering the code with __force casts means
it isn't correct - you're just masking the warning.

So no, I really don't like this. And I really don't like seeing
__force being used in open code in casts.

Why? We won't get here unless the PC can be dereferenced. If it's not
able to be dereferenced, then we'd be dealing with a prefetch abort.

If that is guaranteed (i.e., there is no way we might be racing with a
module unload on another CPU or something like that), then I agree
that dereferencing PC is fine.

If we get here for an instruction in a module that's being unloaded, we
have way bigger problems. We shouldn't be executing code in a module
being unloaded in the first place. That becomes a case of "deserves to
oops".

The more likely case would be a prefetch abort when the page is
unmapped. You'd have to try pretty hard to get an undef to race with
a module unload.

OK, I will clear only the first warning and leave the second warning.

The 'pc' may come from kernel or user. And I found that all the get_user()
calls have already done type casts to the pc, except arm_notify_die().
I think the above changes are reasonable.

Sorry, Maybe I misunderstood. '__force casts' mentioned here may include
not only '(__force u16 *)', but also '(u16 __user *)'.

If we're going to do that, lets do it properly - I think the above would
need some __force usage to stop sparse complaining, whereas I don't
