Hello Mauro/Hans!

> There is already an upstream patch for hidding it:
The patch from https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10334353 will not
apply at the smatch tree.

Attached is an updated version for smatch.

Even with the patched tools, sparse still complains:

But other warnings are gone with the patch.

The daily build is running on a machine of Hans. He need to update the
tools there.

@Hans:
Until this patches are in upstream, we need to patch smatch/sparse on the fly
in build.sh after pulling the last tools version.

BR,
   Jasmin

Then you're probably not using the right version (or Dan applied some
other stuff yesterday).

Yesterday, I added both trees I'm using here at:

	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/sparse.git/
	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/smatch.git/

My sparse tree has just one extra patch over upstream.
That's needed after a change at max()/min() macros upstream.

At smatch, my tree has 4 extra patches:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/smatch.git/

They basically do:
	1) rise the execution time/memory usage of sparse;
	2) mask errors like "missing break", as gcc checks it already;
	3) the same patch for sparse is needed on smatch;
	4) disable this warning:
			drivers/media/platform/sti/bdisp/bdisp-debug.c:594 bdisp_dbg_perf() debug: sval_binop_signed: invalid divide LLONG_MIN/-1
	   with is produced every time do_div64() & friends are called.

IMHO, all 4 patches are disabling false-positive only warnings,
although the 4th patch might have something useful, if fixed to
properly handle the 64-bit compat macros.

Thanks,
Mauro

The build script from Hans uses the Versions from here:
   git://repo.or.cz/smatch.git
   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git

Maybe we should use your version in the build script.
Hans?

Another good reason for using your version. Doing so, you can fix/extend
sparse/smatch and the daily build will automatically use that.

That's right. The last patch on this repo is:

	53b881888d7b (origin/master, origin/HEAD) check_or_vs_and: ignore the kernel's min/max macros

And the patch that adds -Wpointer-arith applies cleanly at the top of
it.

That's wrong.

Sparse nowadays are getting updates on this dir:

		url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git

I still track the old repo. My config for it is:

[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
[remote "origin"]
	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "sparse-chris"]
	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/sparse-chris/*

I've switched my sparse/smatch to Mauro's repositories for those utilities.

Let's see what happens tonight.
