The error is: #'target_mem_ref' not supported by expression#'memory.c: In functionBtw, I found the first part of this line pretty confusing, to a degree that when seeing it initially I thought this must be some odd tool producing the odd error. But perhaps this is just unfortunate output ordering from different tools running in parallel.'do_memory_op': memory.c:1210:18: error: may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 1210 | rc = set_foreign_p2m_entry(currd, d, gfn_list[i], | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1211 | _mfn(mfn_list[i])); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I found a few references online of the error message, but it is not clear what it means. From a quick look at Oleksandr's branch, I also can't spot anything unitialized. Any ideas?It seems that error happens if *both* CONFIG_GRANT_TABLE and CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER are disabled. Looks like that mfn_list is initialized either in acquire_grant_table() or in acquire_ioreq_server(). If these options disabled then corresponding helpers are just stubs, so indeed that mfn_list gets uninitialized. But, I am not sure why gcc complains about it as set_foreign_p2m_entry() is *not* going to be called in that case???This weird build error goes away if I simply add: diff --git a/xen/common/memory.c b/xen/common/memory.c index 33296e6..d1bd57b 100644 --- a/xen/common/memory.c +++ b/xen/common/memory.c @@ -1136,7 +1136,7 @@ static int acquire_resource( * moment since they are small, but if they need to grow in future * use-cases then per-CPU arrays or heap allocations may be required. */ - xen_pfn_t mfn_list[32]; + xen_pfn_t mfn_list[32] = {0}; int rc; if ( !arch_acquire_resource_check(currd) ) Shall I make the corresponding patch?I'd prefer if we could find another solution, avoiding this pointless writing of 256 bytes of zeros (and really to be on the safe side I think it should rather be ~0 that gets put in there). Could you check whether clearing the array along the lines of this default: memset(mfn_list, ~0, sizeof(mfn_list)); rc = -EOPNOTSUPP; break; helps (avoiding the writes in all normal cases)? Yes, this helps (at least in my environment): aarch64-poky-linux-gcc v8.2 Of course this wouldn't be a guarantee that another compiler (version) won't warn yet again. But the only other alternative I can think of without having the writes on the common path would be something along the lines of older Linux'es uninitialized_var(). Maybe someone else has a better idea ...But it is still unclear to me why the compiler doesn't recognize that *non-yet-uninitialized* mfn_list[] won't be used if both CONFIG_GRANT_TABLE and CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER are not set...The combination of conditions may be too complex for it to figure. I suppose a warning like this can't be had without at least one of false positives or false negatives. I got it. -- Regards, Oleksandr Tyshchenko
