In preparation for the future commit ("bitops: Add __attribute_const__ to generic
ffs()-family implementations"), which allows GCC's value range tracker
to see past ffs(), GCC 8 on ARM thinks that it might be possible that
"ffs(rq) - 8" used here:
v = FIELD_PREP(PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_READRQ, ffs(rq) - 8);
could wrap below 0, leading to a very large value, which would be out of
range for the FIELD_PREP() usage:
drivers/pci/pci.c: In function 'pcie_set_readrq':
include/linux/compiler_types.h:572:38: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_471' declared with attribute error: FIELD_PREP: value too large for the field
...
drivers/pci/pci.c:5896:6: note: in expansion of macro 'FIELD_PREP'
v = FIELD_PREP(PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_READRQ, ffs(rq) - 8);
^~~~~~~~~~
If the result of the ffs() is bounds checked before being used in
FIELD_PREP(), the value tracker seems happy again. :)

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.
