[PATCH 3/6] tracing: Wrap section comparison in tracer_alloc_buffers with COMPARE_SECTIONS

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

 



Clang warns:

../kernel/trace/trace.c:9335:33: warning: array comparison always
evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]
        if (__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt != __start___trace_bprintk_fmt)
                                       ^
1 warning generated.

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are
just addresses so there is not a real issue here. Use the
COMPARE_SECTIONS macro to silence this warning by casting the linker
defined symbols to unsigned long, which keeps the logic the same.
