[PATCH 4/4] alpha: Use absolute_pointer for strcmp on fixed memory location

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



alpha:allmodconfig fails to build with the following error
when using gcc 11.x.

arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c: In function 'setup_arch':
arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c:493:13: error:
	'strcmp' reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0

Avoid the problem by using absolute_pointer() when providing a memory
address to strcmp().
