From e2ffa15b9baa447e444d654ffd47123ba6443ae4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 15:21:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Disable CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT on clang < 17 clang < 17 fails to use scope local labels with CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT=y: { __label__ local_lbl; ... unsafe_get_user(uval, uaddr, local_lbl); ... return 0; local_lbl: return -EFAULT; } when two such scopes exist in the same function: error: cannot jump from this asm goto statement to one of its possible targets There are other failure scenarios. Shuffling code around slightly makes it worse and fail even with one instance. That issue prevents using local labels for a cleanup based user access mechanism. After failed attempts to provide a simple enough test case for the 'depends on' test in Kconfig, the initial cure was to mark ASM goto broken on clang versions < 17 to get this road block out of the way. But Nathan pointed out that this is a known clang issue and indeed affects clang < version 17 in combination with cleanup(). It's not even required to use local labels for that. The clang issue tracker has a small enough test case, which can be used as a test in the 'depends on' section of CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT: void bar(void **); void* baz(void); int foo (void) { { asm goto("jmp %l0"::::l0); return 0; l0: return 1; } void *x __attribute__((cleanup(bar))) = baz(); { asm goto("jmp %l0"::::l1); return 42; l1: return 0xff; } } Add another dependency to config CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT for it and use the clang issue tracker test case for detection by condensing it to obfuscated C-code contest format. This reliably catches the problem on clang < 17 and did not show any issues on the non broken GCC versions. That test might be sufficient to catch all issues and therefore could replace the existing test, but keeping that around does no harm either. Thanks to Nathan for pointing to the relevant clang issue!
