Warnings in Renesas common files
Hello Team,
We are working on adding pre-check support for Renesas RX65N MCU. We are getting the below warnings in the common files used across the Renesas MCUs (M16, SH1 and RX65N).
1. arch/renesas/src/common/up_blocktask.c: passing argument 2 of ‘up_copystate’ discards ‘volatile’ qualifier from pointer target type
2. arch/renesas/src/common/up_releasepending.c: passing argument 2 of ‘up_copystate’ discards ‘volatile’ qualifier from pointer target type
3. arch/renesas/src/common/up_reprioritizertr.c: passing argument 2 of ‘up_copystate’ discards ‘volatile’ qualifier from pointer target type
4. arch/renesas/src/common/up_unblocktask.c: passing argument 2 of ‘up_copystate’ discards ‘volatile’ qualifier from pointer target type
5. arch/renesas/src/common/up_doirq.c: assignment discards ‘volatile’ qualifier from pointer target type
6. arch/renesas/src/common/up_initialize.c: implicit declaration of function ‘up_serialinit’
7. arch/renesas/src/common/up_usestack.c: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
8. net/mld/mld_group.c: label ‘errout_with_sem’ defined but not used
The following modifications would resolve the above mentioned warnings.
Warnings 1, 2, 3 and 4 mentioned above can be resolved by typecasting the argument 2 of ‘up_copystate’ to the type of the actual parameter while invoking the function as follows:
up_copystate(rtcb->xcp.regs, (uint32_t *)up_current_regs);
Warning 5 can be resolved similarly by typecasting the variable upon assignment as follows:
regs = (uint32_t *)g_current_regs;
Warning 6 can be resolved by including the function declaration for up_serialinit() in the header file up_internal.h.
Warning 7 can be resolved by typecasting the variable top_of_stack to (void *) as follows:
tcb->adj_stack_ptr = (void *)top_of_stack;
Warning 8 can be resolved by removing the label 'errout_with_sem' as it is simply defined but not used anywhere in the function.
Unless these warnings are cleared, RX65N cannot be added to the pre-check since due to the [-Werror] flag, the build fails.
As the above mentioned files are common files to m16 and sh1 architectures also, can you confirm whether the above modifications are okay.
Regards,
Bhindhiya Raja

Bhindhiya,
Why not follow the approach taken by other arch?

Hello Team,
We are trying to include Renesas RX65N architecture in GitHub pre-check which requires code to have 0 warnings to be successful.
Call to up_copystate() in the below functions produces warnings in NuttX common files:
arch/renesas/src/common/up_blocktask.c: up_block_task()
arch/renesas/src/common/up_releasepending: up_release_pending()
arch/renesas/src/common/up_reprioritizertr: up_reprioritize_rtr()
arch/renesas/src/common/up_unblocktask: up_unblock_task()
Changes in the above files will affect the other Renesas architectures (m16c and sh1) as well.
The function prototype of up_copystate() in file: "arch/renesas/src/common/up_internal.h" is as follows:
void up_copystate(uint32_t *dest, uint32_t *src);
g_current_regs is also defined in the same file as:
extern volatile uint32_t *g_current_regs;
Calling up_copystate() with g_current_regs as 2nd argument gives the following warning:
passing argument 2 of ‘up_copystate’ discards ‘volatile’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror]
up_copystate(rtcb->xcp.regs, g_current_regs);
^
The above call causes the 'volatile' nature of g_current_regs to be lost.
We understand that casting away the 'volatile' type qualifier of a variable should be avoided if possible.
We intend to do a PR by modifying the prototype of the above function to:
void up_copystate(uint32_t *dest, volatile uint32_t *src);
This modification produces the same warning in memcpy() function call.
Typecasting the argument when calling memcpy() alone will resolve this warning.
This retains the volatile nature of the variable as well as resolves the warnings produced
due to the above function call with volatile g_current_regs argument.
Are there any concerns with the above mentioned modifications?
Regards,
Bhindhiya Raja.

Hello Bhindhiya,
I am not sure what is the best choice here. I looked through NuttX
sources and I did not see any up_copystate() (for any arch) that had
volatile qualifiers. That said, looking at the call to up_copystate()
in up_unblock_task(), g_current_regs is indeed volatile (for good
reasons), so I wonder if we should propagate that as far as possible,
until the memcpy(), like you're suggesting, or, alternatively, if it
is safe to discard volatile like is being done already, because we are
switching tasks.
I need to think about this some more.
Maybe Greg will share some of his wisdom with us. :-)

Hello Nathan,
Thank you for your response. We have submitted 2 separate PRs as recommended by you to resolve warnings 6 (#1695) and 8 (#1702).
About warnings 1 to 4, we understand that casting away the 'volatile' type qualifier of a variable should be avoided if possible. Can we consider modifying the prototype of the function up_copystate() in up_internal.h file,
from:
void up_copystate(uint32_t *dest, uint32_t *src);
to:
void up_copystate(uint32_t *dest, volatile uint32_t *src);
in order to resolve this warning.
We have tried the above fix in our local repository and checked build.
We found that warnings 1 to 4 are resolved, however, it generates a new warning in file:
arch/renesas/src/rx65n/rx65n_copystate.c: passing argument 2 of ‘up_copystate’ discards ‘volatile’ qualifier from pointer target type
memcpy(dest, src, XCPTCONTEXT_SIZE);
expected ‘const void *’ but argument is of type ‘volatile uint32_t *’
FAR void *memcpy(FAR void *dest, FAR const void *src, size_t n);
This can be resolved by typecasting the variables when calling memcpy() alone.
As these files are common to other Renesas architectures as well, please confirm if the above modifications are okay.
Regards,
Bhindhiya Raja

Should we cast away the volatile modifier or is this something that should
be looked into? (i.e., should those functions be modified to take a
volatile uint32_t *?)
Warning 6 can be resolved by including the function declaration for
> up_serialinit() in the header file up_internal.h.
Warning 7 can be resolved by typecasting the variable top_of_stack to (void

I will need to examine the code to be sure (I'm replying on my phone now)
but the fix for 6 and 8 sounds reasonable.
Unless these warnings are cleared, RX65N cannot be added to the pre-check
> since due to the [-Werror] flag, the build fails.

I recommend to submit separate PRs for fixes 6 and 8.
But I think the use of volatile modifiers needs to be looked at more
closely. I prefer not to cast away volatile-ness unless no other choice.
Also not sure about 7.
Cheers,
Nathan

Should we cast away the volatile modifier or is this something that should
be looked into? (i.e., should those functions be modified to take a
volatile uint32_t *?)
Warning 6 can be resolved by including the function declaration for

Warning 7 can be resolved by typecasting the variable top_of_stack to (void

I will need to examine the code to be sure (I'm replying on my phone now)
but the fix for 6 and 8 sounds reasonable.
Unless these warnings are cleared, RX65N cannot be added to the pre-check

I recommend to submit separate PRs for fixes 6 and 8.
But I think the use of volatile modifiers needs to be looked at more
closely. I prefer not to cast away volatile-ness unless no other choice.
Also not sure about 7.
