The usage of __rcu in the Energy Model code is quite inconsistent which causes the following sparse warnings to trigger: kernel/power/energy_model.c:169:15: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:169:15: expected struct em_perf_table [noderef] __rcu *table kernel/power/energy_model.c:169:15: got struct em_perf_table * kernel/power/energy_model.c:171:9: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:171:9: expected struct callback_head *head kernel/power/energy_model.c:171:9: got struct callback_head [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:171:9: warning: cast removes address space '__rcu' of expression kernel/power/energy_model.c:182:19: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:182:19: expected struct kref *kref kernel/power/energy_model.c:182:19: got struct kref [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:200:15: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:200:15: expected struct em_perf_table [noderef] __rcu *table kernel/power/energy_model.c:200:15: got void *[assigned] _res kernel/power/energy_model.c:204:20: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:204:20: expected struct kref *kref kernel/power/energy_model.c:204:20: got struct kref [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:320:19: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:320:19: expected struct kref *kref kernel/power/energy_model.c:320:19: got struct kref [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:325:45: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:325:45: expected struct em_perf_state *table kernel/power/energy_model.c:325:45: got struct em_perf_state [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:425:45: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:425:45: expected struct em_perf_state *table kernel/power/energy_model.c:425:45: got struct em_perf_state [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:442:15: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:442:15: expected void const *objp kernel/power/energy_model.c:442:15: got struct em_perf_table [noderef] __rcu *[assigned] em_table kernel/power/energy_model.c:626:55: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:626:55: expected struct em_perf_state *table kernel/power/energy_model.c:626:55: got struct em_perf_state [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:681:16: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:681:16: expected struct em_perf_state *new_ps kernel/power/energy_model.c:681:16: got struct em_perf_state [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:699:37: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:699:37: expected struct em_perf_state *table kernel/power/energy_model.c:699:37: got struct em_perf_state [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:733:38: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces) kernel/power/energy_model.c:733:38: expected struct em_perf_state *table kernel/power/energy_model.c:733:38: got struct em_perf_state [noderef] __rcu * kernel/power/energy_model.c:855:53: warning: dereference of noderef expression kernel/power/energy_model.c:864:32: warning: dereference of noderef expression This is because the __rcu annotation for sparse is only applicable to pointers that need rcu_dereference() or equivalent for protection, which basically means pointers assigned with rcu_assign_pointer(). Make all of the above sparse warnings go away by cleaning up the usage of __rcu and using rcu_dereference_protected() where applicable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
