[PATCH] MIPS: decompressor: fix build failure on memcpy() in decompress.c

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

 



The decompress.c file includes linux/kernel.h which causes the following
inclusion chain to be pulled:
linux/kernel.h ->
	linux/dynamic_debug.h ->
		linux/string.h ->
			asm/string.h

We end up having a the GCC builtin + architecture specific memcpy() expanding
into this:

void *({ size_t __len = (size_t n); void *__ret; if
(__builtin_constant_p(size_t n) && __len >= 64) __ret = memcpy((void *dest),
(const void *src), __len); else __ret = __builtin_memcpy((void *dest), (const
void *src), __len); __ret; })
{
 [memcpy implementation in decompress.c starts here]
 int i;
 const char *s = src;
 char *d = dest;

 for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
  d[i] = s[i];
 return dest;
}

raising the following compilation error:
arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c:46:8: error: expected identifier or '('
before '{' token

There are at least three possibilities to fix this issue:

1) define _LINUX_STRING_H_ at the beginning of decompress.c to prevent
   further linux/string.h definitions and declarations from being used, and add
   an explicit strstr() declaration for linux/dynamic_debug.h

2) remove the inclusion of linux/kernel.h because we actually use no definition
   or declaration from this header file

3) undefine memcpy or re-define memcpy to memcpy thus resulting in picking up
   the local memcpy() implementation to this compilation unit

This patch uses the second option which is the less intrusive one.
