Hello:
I could use some help understanding a message from a kbuild robot. I
submitted this patch:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/525102/
Which moves existing code into a function that is exported for modules.
The kbuild robot found this warning:
-----
config: mips-nlm_xlp_defconfig (attached as .config)
reproduce:
wget
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wfg/lkp-tests.git/plain/sbin/make.cross
-O ~/bin/make.cross
chmod +x ~/bin/make.cross
# save the attached .config to linux build tree
make.cross ARCH=mips
All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):
mips-linux-gnu-ld: net/ipv4/.tmp_fib_semantics.o: warning: Inconsistent ISA between e_flags and .MIPS.abiflags
-----
I have no idea what that message means. I tried googling and found this
recent thread:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2015-05/msg00156.html
and accompanying one:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18401
Can someone shed light on what the message means, why my patch generated
the message and better yet how to fix it?
Thanks,
David
