GCC-12 started triggering a new warning:
arch/x86/mm/numa.c: In function ‘cpumask_of_node’:
arch/x86/mm/numa.c:916:39: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘false’ for the address of ‘node_to_cpumask_map’ will never be NULL [-Waddress]
916 | if (node_to_cpumask_map[node] == NULL) {
| ^~
node_to_cpumask_map is of type cpumask_var_t[].
When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set, cpumask_var_t is typedef'd to a
pointer for dynamic allocation, else to an array of one element. The
"wicked game" can be checked on line 700 of include/linux/cpumask.h.
The original code in debug_cpumask_set_cpu() and cpumask_of_node() were
probably written by the original authors with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
(i.e. dynamic allocation) in mind, checking if the cpumask was available
via a direct NULL check.
When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is not set, GCC gives the above warning
while compiling the kernel.
Fix that by using cpumask_available(), which does the NULL check when
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set, otherwise returns true. Use it wherever
such checks are made.
Conditional definitions of cpumask_available() can be found along with
the definition of cpumask_var_t. Check the cpumask.h reference mentioned
above.
