gcc-11 warns about using string operations on pointers that are defined at compile time as offsets from a NULL pointer. Unfortunately that also happens on the result of fix_to_virt(), which is a compile-time constant for a constantn input:
arch/x86/kernel/tboot.c: In function 'tboot_probe': arch/x86/kernel/tboot.c:70:13: error: '__builtin_memcmp_eq' specified bound 16 exceeds source size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 70 | if (memcmp(&tboot_uuid, &tboot->uuid, sizeof(tboot->uuid))) { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this can get addressed in gcc-11 before the release.
As a workaround, split up the tboot_probe() function in two halves to separate the pointer generation from the usage. This is a bit ugly, and hopefully gcc understands that the code is actually correct before it learns to peek into the noinline function.
