[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] usb: composite: fix possible alignment issues

Since upgrading to gcc9, warnings are issued: "taking address of packed member of ‘...’ may result in an unaligned pointer value"
Fix this by converting two functions to use unaligned access since packed structures may be on an unaligned address, depending on USB hardware.

With these two patches applied to origin/master GCC 9.2.1 does not produce warnings anymore but for tbs2910_defconfig:
u-boot.imx exceeds file size limit: limit: 0x5fc00 bytes actual: 0x60c00 bytes excess: 0x1000 bytes make: *** [Makefile:1159: u-boot.imx] Error 1 make: *** Deleting file 'u-boot.imx'
So irrespective of my patches for the USB keyboard we need to address the size limit on TBS2910.

Is that due to my cleanup patches? Can you compare the size by compiling without them? That should work if you leave away the -Werror switch.

I see, so you have additional options added to the build which trigger the size issue. It would be nice to mention that up front. Do you use any other extra options ?

Dear Marek,

-Wno-address-of-packed-member is the only option I added to origin/master. This option suppresses the build error that we get without Simon's patches.
The only other difference between Gitlab CI and my setup is that I use GCC 9.2.1 (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc on Debian Bullseye).
These are the sizes of u-boot.bin:
390080 bytes with Simon's patches 390080 bytes with Simon's patches + -Wno-address-of-packed-member 390064 bytes origin/master + -Wno-address-of-packed-member 386248 bytes with Simon's patches + CONFIG_REGEX=n 390024 bytes with Simon patches + "usb: kbd: simplify coding for arrow keys" 390440 bytes with Simon patches + all my USB keyboard patches
So I will add a CONFIG option to my "usb: kbd: implement special keys" patch to avoid the code increase.
With CONFIG_REGEX=n the image fits into the current board limit in all cases.
Soeren could you, please, evaluate if this configuration works with your board. It should only be relevant if multiple network interfaces are supported by U-Boot.
Best regards
Heinrich

GCC 9.2.1 without your patches but with -Wno-address-of-packed-member:

Dear Marek,
Hi,
Simon asked me to determine if origin/master exceeds the u-boot.imx size limit when compiled without his patches. The only way to do so is to suppress the build warnings.
-Wno-address-of-packed-member is the only option I added to origin/master. This option suppresses the build error that we get without Simon's patches.
But you somehow got this -Werror into the build too, right ?
The only other difference between Gitlab CI and my setup is that I use GCC 9.2.1 (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc on Debian Bullseye).
That's what I use too.
These are the sizes of u-boot.bin:
390080 bytes with Simon's patches 390080 bytes with Simon's patches + -Wno-address-of-packed-member 390064 bytes origin/master + -Wno-address-of-packed-member 386248 bytes with Simon's patches + CONFIG_REGEX=n 390024 bytes with Simon patches + "usb: kbd: simplify coding for arrow keys" 390440 bytes with Simon patches + all my USB keyboard patches
So I will add a CONFIG option to my "usb: kbd: implement special keys" patch to avoid the code increase.
There might be another option. How about improving the encoding of these escape sequences? There seem to be a lot of duplication, e.g. the leading '\e' is in all of them. So is the '[' . Maybe deduplicating those could help ?
I did a quick try by putting all the sequences into a table, then removed the \e and sent it explicitly with usb_kbd_put_queue(), and got ~100 bytes saved. And then each of those strings has trailing '\0', which I don't think is needed either, so that might be another few bytes saved.
$ arm-linux-gnueabi-readelf -s u-boot | sort -nk 3 | grep usb_kbd can help tracking down these bloat hotspots.
With CONFIG_REGEX=n the image fits into the current board limit in all cases.
Soeren could you, please, evaluate if this configuration works with your board. It should only be relevant if multiple network interfaces are supported by U-Boot.
CONFIG_REGEX is used by setexpr to handle regexes on U-Boot command line. Hence, removing CONFIG_REGEX would degrade the board functionality and that is what I don't want to see.
