Description
The bootinfo and friends are using native_ptr_t members and the current dboot code is not very consistent about type casts.
The double casts like: (native_ptr_t)(uintptr_t) are needed with pointer, otherwise we will get error:
diff --git a/usr/src/uts/i86pc/dboot/dboot_startkern.c b/usr/src/uts/i86pc/dboot/dboot_startkern.c index d8bfec534d..6b62be7a97 100644 --- a/usr/src/uts/i86pc/dboot/dboot_startkern.c +++ b/usr/src/uts/i86pc/dboot/dboot_startkern.c @@ -1080,7 +1080,7 @@ dboot_find_env(void) modules[0].bm_name = (native_ptr_t)(uintptr_t)NULL; modules[0].bm_hash = (native_ptr_t)(uintptr_t)NULL; modules[0].bm_type = BMT_ENV; - bi->bi_modules = (native_ptr_t)(uintptr_t)modules; + bi->bi_modules = (native_ptr_t)modules; bi->bi_module_cnt = 1; return; }
And the error for this change:
