Falling through to default: break; can hardly be a bug?! It's certainly a place where the intent is not always clear. I think this makes all the cases unambiguous, and doesn't impact the machine code, since the compiler will happily optimize away any behavioral redundancy.

I'd like to avoid splitting common -W options between default and W=2 just based on the compiler. Getting -Wimplicit-fallthrough enabled found plenty of bugs, so making sure it works correctly for both compilers feels justified to me. (This is just a subset of the same C language short-coming.) > I think clang is just being annoying here, but if I'm the only one who > feels this way chances are I'm wrong :) It's being pretty pedantic, but I don't think it's unreasonable to explicitly state how every case ends. GCC's silence for the case of "fall through to a break" doesn't really seem justified.

FWIW, this series has found at least one bug so far: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAFCwf11izHF=g1mGry1fE5kvFFFrxzhPSM6qKAO8gxSp=Kr_CQ@mail.gmail.com/

Well, I was curious about the former (obviously no tool will tell me about the latter), so I asked git what patches had a fall-through series named in a fixes tag and these three popped out: 9cf51446e686 bpf, powerpc: Fix misuse of fallthrough in bpf_jit_comp() 6a9dc5fd6170 lib: Revert use of fallthrough pseudo-keyword in lib/ 91dbd73a1739 mips/oprofile: Fix fallthrough placement I don't think any of these is fixing a significant problem, but they did cause someone time and trouble to investigate.

The really important point here is the number of bugs this has prevented and will prevent in the future. See an example of this, below: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20190813135802.GB27392@kroah.com/ This work is still relevant, even if the total number of issues/bugs we find in the process is zero (which is not the case).

Introducing `fallthrough` does not change semantics. If you are really keen, you can always compare the objects because the generated code shouldn't change. Cheers, Miguel

What I'm actually trying to articulate is a way of measuring value of the patch vs cost ... it has nothing really to do with who foots the actual bill. One thesis I'm actually starting to formulate is that this continual devaluing of maintainers is why we have so much difficulty keeping and recruiting them. James

Absolutely. This is just one of the factors involved, but a significant one IMV.

Really, no ... something which produces no improvement has no value at all ... we really shouldn't be wasting maintainer time with it because it has a cost to merge. I'm not sure we understand where the balance lies in value vs cost to merge but I am confident in the zero value case. > "The sucky thing about doing hard work to deploy hardening is that > the result is totally invisible by definition (things not happening) > [..]" > - Dmitry Vyukov Really, no. Something that can't be measured at all doesn't exist. And actually hardening is one of those things you can measure (which I do have to admit isn't true for everything in the security space) ... it's number of exploitable bugs found before you did it vs number of exploitable bugs found after you did it. Usually hardening eliminates a class of bug, so the way I've measured hardening before is to go through the CVE list for the last couple of years for product X, find all the bugs that are of the class we're looking to eliminate and say if we had hardened X against this class of bug we'd have eliminated Y% of the exploits. It can be quite impressive if Y is a suitably big number. James

It's unclear how to measure value in consistency. But one way that costs can be reduced is by automation and _not_ involving maintainers when the patch itself is provably correct. > One thesis I'm actually starting to formulate is that this continual > devaluing of maintainers is why we have so much difficulty keeping and > recruiting them. The linux kernel has something like 1500 different maintainers listed in the MAINTAINERS file. That's not a trivial number. $ git grep '^M:' MAINTAINERS | sort | uniq -c | wc -l 1543 $ git grep '^M:' MAINTAINERS| cut -f1 -d'<' | sort | uniq -c | wc -l 1446 I think the question you are asking is about trust and how it effects development. And back to that wired story, the actual number of what you might be considering to be maintainers is likely less than 10% of the listed numbers above.

I can see ~10k insertions over ~1k commits and 15 years that mention a fallthrough in the entire repo. That is including some commits (like the biggest one, 960 insertions) that have nothing to do with C fallthrough. A single kernel release has an order of magnitude more changes than this... But if we do the math, for an author, at even 1 minute per line change and assuming nothing can be automated at all, it would take 1 month of work. For maintainers, a couple of trivial lines is noise compared to many other patches. In fact, this discussion probably took more time than the time it would take to review the 200 lines. :-) > We're also complaining about the inability to recruit maintainers: > > https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/30/hard_to_find_linux_maintainers_says_torvalds/ > > And burn out: > > http://antirez.com/news/129 Accepting trivial and useful 1-line patches is not what makes a voluntary maintainer quit...

I understand your point, but you were the one putting it in terms of a junior FTE. In my view, 1 month-work (worst case) is very much worth removing a class of errors from a critical codebase. > One thesis I'm actually starting to formulate is that this continual > devaluing of maintainers is why we have so much difficulty keeping and > recruiting them. That may very well be true, but I don't feel anybody has devalued maintainers in this discussion. Cheers, Miguel

I really don't think that's grounded in reality. I suppose a one line patch only takes a minute to merge with b4 if no-one reviews or tests it, but that's not really desirable. > In fact, this discussion probably took more time than the time it > would take to review the 200 lines. :-) I'm framing the discussion in terms of the whole series of changes we have done for fall through, both what's in the tree currently (889 patches) both in terms of the produce and the consumer. That's what I used for my figures for cost. > > We're also complaining about the inability to recruit maintainers: > > > > https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/30/hard_to_find_linux_maintainers_says_torvalds/ > > > > And burn out: > > > > http://antirez.com/news/129 > > Accepting trivial and useful 1-line patches Part of what I'm trying to measure is the "and useful" bit because that's not a given. > is not what makes a voluntary maintainer quit... so the proverb "straw which broke the camel's back" uniquely doesn't apply to maintainers > Thankless work with demanding deadlines is.

Well, you know, subsystems are very different in terms of the amount of patches a maintainer has to process per release cycle of the kernel. If a maintainer is close to capacity, additional patches, however trivial, become a problem. If a maintainer has spare cycles, trivial patches may look easy. > Paid maintainers are the ones that can take care of big > features/reviews. > > > What I'm actually trying to articulate is a way of measuring value > > of the patch vs cost ... it has nothing really to do with who foots > > the actual bill. > > I understand your point, but you were the one putting it in terms of > a junior FTE. No, I evaluated the producer side in terms of an FTE. What we're mostly arguing about here is the consumer side: the maintainers and people who have to rework their patch sets. I estimated that at 100h. > In my view, 1 month-work (worst case) is very much worth > removing a class of errors from a critical codebase. > > > One thesis I'm actually starting to formulate is that this > > continual devaluing of maintainers is why we have so much > > difficulty keeping and recruiting them. > > That may very well be true, but I don't feel anybody has devalued > maintainers in this discussion. You seem to be saying that because you find it easy to merge trivial patches, everyone should. I'm reminded of a friend long ago who thought being a Tees River Pilot was a sinecure because he could navigate the Tees blindfold. What he forgot, of course, is that just because it's easy with a trawler doesn't mean it's easy with an oil tanker. In fact it takes longer to qualify as a Tees River Pilot than it does to get a PhD.

While the last case looks harmless, there were only 1 or 2 across the tree in my limited configuration testing; I really think we should just add `break`s for those.

I think Clang is right to warn for these, and GCC should also warn.

We can't measure how many future bugs aren't introduced because the kernel requires explicit case flow-control statements for all new code. We already enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough globally, so that's not the discussion. The issue is that Clang is (correctly) even more strict than GCC for this, so these are the remaining ones to fix for full Clang coverage too. People have spent more time debating this already than it would have taken to apply the patches. :) This is about robustness and language wrangling. It's a big code-base, and this is the price of our managing technical debt for permanent robustness improvements. (The numbers I ran from Gustavo's earlier patches were that about 10% of the places adjusted were identified as legitimate bugs being fixed. This final series may be lower, but there are still bugs being found from it -- we need to finish this and shut the door on it for good.)

The kernel is not a frozen codebase. Further, "mature code vs. risk of change" arguments don't apply here because the semantics of the program and binary output isn't changing. > Sure.

Again: adding a `fallthrough` does not change the program semantics.

In my practice most of the one line patches were either to fix or to introduce quite interesting issues. 1 minute is 2-3 orders less than usually needed for such patches. That's why I don't like churn produced by people who often even didn't compile their useful contributions.

It's certainly a clinching argument in defence procurement ... So developers and distributions using Clang can't have -Wimplicit-fallthrough enabled because GCC is less strict (which has been shown in this thread to lead to bugs)? We'd like to have nice things too, you know. I even agree that most of the churn comes from case 0: ++x; default: break; which I have a patch for: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91895. I agree that can never lead to bugs. But that's not the sole case of this series, just most of them. Though, note how the reviewer (C++ spec editor and clang front end owner) in https://reviews.llvm.org/D91895 even asks in that review how maybe a new flag would be more appropriate for a watered down/stylistic variant of the existing behavior. And if the current wording of Documentation/process/deprecated.rst around "fallthrough" is a straightforward rule of thumb, I kind of agree with him. > > > This is about robustness and language wrangling.

I'd encourage you to bring that up when that actually occurs, unlike this case since it's actively hindering getting -Wimplicit-fallthrough enabled for Clang. This is not a shiny new warning; it's already on for GCC and has existed in both compilers for multiple releases. And I'll also note that warnings are warnings and not errors because they cannot be proven to be bugs in 100% of cases, but they have led to bugs in the past. They require a human to review their intent and remove ambiguities. If 97% of cases would end in a break ("Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets" - Peter van der Linden), then it starts to look to me like a language defect; certainly an incorrectly chosen default. But the compiler can't know those 3% were intentional, unless you're explicit for those exceptional cases. > it's detecting is one that causes us actual problems in the code base. > I'd really be happier if we had a theory about what classes of CVE or > bug we could eliminate before we embrace the next new warning. We don't generally file CVEs and waiting for them to occur might be too reactive, but I agree that pointing to some additional documentation in commit messages about how a warning could lead to a bug would make it clearer to reviewers why being able to enable it treewide, even if there's no bug in their particular subsystem, is in the general interest of the commons.

It's critical to the longevity of any open source project that there are not single points of failure. If someone is not expendable or replaceable (or claims to be) then that's a risk to the project and a bottleneck. Not having a replacement in training or some form of redundancy is short sighted. If trivial patches are adding too much to your workload, consider training a co-maintainer or asking for help from one of your reviewers whom you trust. I don't doubt it's hard to find maintainers, but existing maintainers should go out of their way to entrust co-maintainers especially when they find their workload becomes too high. And reviewing/picking up trivial patches is probably a great way to get started. If we allow too much knowledge of any one subsystem to collect with one maintainer, what happens when that maintainer leaves the community (which, given a finite lifespan, is an inevitability)?

It looks like a benign typo to me -- `ENUM_VALUE2` does not follow the same pattern like `ENUM_VALUE1`. To me, the presence of the `default` is what indicates (explicitly) that not everything is handled. > Applying a real patch set and then getting a few follow ups the next day > for trivial coding things like fallthrough missing or static missing, > just because I didn't have the full range of compilers to check with > before applying makes me feel pretty shitty, like I'm not doing a good > job. YMMV. The number of compilers, checkers, static analyzers, tests, etc. we use keeps going up. That, indeed, means maintainers will miss more things (unless maintainers do more work than before). But catching bugs before they happen is *not* a bad thing. Perhaps we could encourage more rebasing in -next (while still giving credit to bots and testers) to avoid having many fixing commits afterwards, but that is orthogonal. I really don't think we should encourage the feeling that a maintainer is doing a bad job if they don't catch everything on their reviews. Any review is worth it. Maintainers, in the end, are just the "guaranteed" reviewers that decide when the code looks reasonable enough. They should definitely not feel pressured to be perfect. Cheers, Miguel

The number is much higher[1]. If it were 6 in the entire history of the kernel, I would agree with you. :) Some were fixed _before_ Gustavo's effort too, which I also count towards the idea of "this is a dangerous weakness in C, and now we have stopped it forever." > But the broader point I'm making is just because the compiler people > come up with a shiny new warning doesn't necessarily mean the problem > it's detecting is one that causes us actual problems in the code base. > I'd really be happier if we had a theory about what classes of CVE or > bug we could eliminate before we embrace the next new warning. But we did! It was long ago justified and documented[2], and even links to the CWE[3] for it. This wasn't random joy over discovering a new warning we could turn on, this was turning on a warning that the compiler folks finally gave us to handle an entire class of flaws. If we need to update the code-base to address it not a useful debate -- that was settled already, even if you're only discovering it now. :P. This last patch set is about finishing that work for Clang, which is correctly even more strict than GCC. -Kees [1] https://outflux.net/slides/2019/lss/kspp.pdf calls out specific numbers (about 6.5% of the patches fixed missing breaks): v4.19: 3 of 129 v4.20: 2 of 59 v5.0: 3 of 56 v5.1: 10 of 100 v5.2: 6 of 71 v5.3: 7 of 69 And in the history of the kernel, it's been an ongoing source of flaws: $ l --no-merges | grep -i 'missing break' | wc -l 185 The frequency of such errors being "naturally" found was pretty steady until the static checkers started warning, and then it was on the rise, but the full effort flushed the rest out, and now it's dropped to almost zero: 1 v2.6.12 3 v2.6.16.28 1 v2.6.17 1 v2.6.19 2 v2.6.21 1 v2.6.22 3 v2.6.24 3 v2.6.29 1 v2.6.32 1 v2.6.33 1 v2.6.35 4 v2.6.36 3 v2.6.38 2 v2.6.39 7 v3.0 2 v3.1 2 v3.2 2 v3.3 3 v3.4 1 v3.5 8 v3.6 7 v3.7 3 v3.8 6 v3.9 3 v3.10 2 v3.11 5 v3.12 5 v3.13 2 v3.14 4 v3.15 2 v3.16 3 v3.17 2 v3.18 2 v3.19 1 v4.0 2 v4.1 5 v4.2 4 v4.5 5 v4.7 6 v4.8 1 v4.9 3 v4.10 2 v4.11 6 v4.12 3 v4.13 2 v4.14 5 v4.15 2 v4.16 7 v4.18 2 v4.19 6 v4.20 3 v5.0 12 v5.1 3 v5.2 4 v5.3 2 v5.4 1 v5.8 And the reason it's fully zero, is because we still have the cases we're cleaning up right now. Even this last one from v5.8 is specifically of the same type this series addresses: case 4: color_index = TrueCModeIndex; + break; default: return; } [2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#implicit-switch-case-fall-through All switch/case blocks must end in one of: break; fallthrough; continue; goto <label>; return [expression]; [3] https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/484.html

YMMV. I understand. Everyone feels that way, except maybe Bond villains and robots. My advice in that case is don't take it personally. We're working with a language that's more error prone relative to others. While one would like to believe they are flawless, over time they can't beat the aggregate statistics. A balance between Imposter Syndrome and Dunning Kruger is walked by all software developers, and the fear of making mistakes in public is one of the number one reasons folks don't take the plunge contributing to open source software or even the kernel. My advice to them is "don't sweat the small stuff."

I don't think so. You mean, aside from -Wimplicit-fallthrough? I'm glad you asked. How about -Wincompatible-pointer-types and -Wframe-larger-than? All of the following files have been affected by divergent diagnostics produced by clang and gcc. arch/arm64/include/asm/neon-intrinsics.h arch/powerpc/xmon/Makefile drivers/gpu/drm/i915/Makefile drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_utils.h drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_subdev.c fs/ext4/super.c include/trace/events/qla.h net/mac80211/rate.c tools/lib/string.c tools/perf/util/setup.py tools/scripts/Makefile.include And if I searched for 'smatch' or 'coverity' instead of 'clang' I'd probably find more divergence. Here are some of the relevant commits. 0738c8b5915c7eaf1e6007b441008e8f3b460443 9c87156cce5a63735d1218f0096a65c50a7a32aa babaab2f473817f173a2d08e410c25abf5ed0f6b 065e5e559555e2f100bc95792a8ef1b609bbe130 93f56de259376d7e4fff2b2d104082e1fa66e237 6c4798d3f08b81c2c52936b10e0fa872590c96ae b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c 093b75ef5995ea35d7f6bdb6c7b32a42a1999813 And before you object, "but -Wconstant-logical-operand is a clang-only warning! it can't be divergent with gcc!", consider that the special cases added to deal with clang-only warnings have to be removed when gcc catches up, which is more churn. Now multiply that by the number of checkers you care about.

Then it means you already have a bug. This patchset gives the maintainer a chance to notice it, which is a good thing. The "you've destroyed the market" claim is bogus, because: 1. you were not looking into it 2. you didn't notice the bug so far 3. is implicit -- harder to spot 4. is only useful if you explicitly take a look at this kind of bug.

I find that is the responsibility of the maintainers and reviewers for tree-wide patches like this, assuming they want. They can also keep the behavior (and the bugs) without spending time.

BTW, you cannot mindlessly fix the latter, as you cannot know if "(a == b)" or "((a = b))" was intended, without understanding the code (and the (possibly unavailable) data sheet, and the hardware, ...). P.S. So far I've stayed out of this thread, as I like it if the compiler flags possible mistakes. After all I was the one fixing new "may be used uninitialized" warnings thrown up by gcc-4.1, until (a bit later than) support for that compiler was removed... Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert

Agreed, I was not blaming maintainers -- just trying to point out that the problem is there :-) In those cases, it is still very useful: we add the `fallthrough` and a comment saying `FIXME: fallthrough intended? Figure this out...`. Thus a previous unknown unknown is now a known unknown. And no new unknown unknowns will be introduced since we enabled the warning globally. > BTW, you cannot mindlessly fix the latter, as you cannot know if > "(a == b)" or "((a = b))" was intended, without understanding the code > (and the (possibly unavailable) data sheet, and the hardware, ...). That's right, I was referring to the cases where the compiler saves someone time from a typo they just made. Cheers, Miguel

That should trigger a warning. The fallthrough to a break should not generate a warning. The bug we're trying to fix is "missing break statement" but if the result of the bug is "we hit a break statement" then now we're just talking about style. GCC should limit itself to warning about potentially buggy code. regards, dan carpenter

If adding a break statement changes the flow of the code then warn about potentially missing break statements, but if it doesn't change anything then don't warn about it. regards, dan carpenter
