With -Wextra clang warns about pointer arithmetic using a null pointer.
When building with CONFIG_PCI=n, that triggers a warning in the IO
accessors, eg:
In file included from linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:672:
linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io-defs.h:23:1: warning: performing pointer
arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
23 | DEF_PCI_AC_RET(inb, u8, (unsigned long port), (port), pio, port)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...
linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:591:53: note: expanded from macro
'__do_inb'
591 | #define __do_inb(port) readb((PCI_IO_ADDR)_IO_BASE + port);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
That is because when CONFIG_PCI=n, _IO_BASE is defined as 0.
There is code that builds with calls to IO accessors even when
CONFIG_PCI=n, but the actual calls are guarded by runtime checks.
If not those calls would be faulting, because the page at virtual
address zero is (usually) not mapped into the kernel. As Arnd pointed
out, it is possible a large port value could cause the address to be
above mmap_min_addr which would then access userspace, which would be
a bug.
To avoid any such issues, and also fix the compiler warning, set the
_IO_BASE to POISON_POINTER_DELTA. That is a value chosen to point into
unmapped space between the kernel and userspace, so any access will
always fault.
