Hi Nicolas,

On this subject, could you help me understand what the following error mean and how I should fix that:

Hi Bertrand,

the point here is that the macro parameter 'FFA_VERSION' is itself a macro. This means that inside 'FW_ABI' and similar macros one occurrence of the 'abi' macro parameter will be further expanded to the value of 'FFA_VERSION', while the one used for stringification will not. This is potentially confusing for some programmers that do not know well the semantics of the preprocessor, which is why MISRA discourages it, but in these cases I would say it's very much intentional. There are already a few deviations for special cases (e.g. BUILD_BUG_ON uses the same pattern to print the condition), so I would suggest adding the macro FW_ABI to the deviation.

Thanks
Bertrand

shows 122 failures in otherwise-clean guidelines.  Some observations:

llc-colouring.c uses binary literals. These are safe to use now since
4.21 with the updated toolchain baseline, but the Eclair config wants
updating to allow this language extension.

ipmmu-vmsa.c has a git:// url inside a block comment, which is
considered to be a Rule 3.1 violation. In principle this ought to fix it:

but I've not tried it yet.

There's a R8.4 violation against __stack_chk_guard. I think this wants
deviating locally, because it's a fairly magic construct.

Other than that, there's a smattering of violations. Some will be fixed by some work I've got pending for the x86 side of things, but most are
specific to arch/arm/.


They are quite a lot of violations coming from ffa.
I have a pending serie on FF-A waiting to be reviewed/committed.
I can push something to fix the findings after it, if that is ok for you ?

I will retrigger the CI from the branch corresponding to my serie and work
from there.

In any case, very good thing to activate all those and check with the CI, thanks a lot :-)

Cheers
Bertrand
