Depending on the configuration either the 32 or 64 bit version of elf_check_arch() is defined. parse_crash_elf{32|64}_headers() does some basic verification of the ELF header via vmcore_elf{32|64}_check_arch() which happen to map to elf_check_arch(). Since the implementation 32 and 64 bit version of elf_check_arch() differ, we use the wrong type: In file included from include/linux/elf.h:4:0, from fs/proc/vmcore.c:13: fs/proc/vmcore.c: In function 'parse_crash_elf64_headers': >> arch/mips/include/asm/elf.h:228:23: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] struct elfhdr *__h = (hdr); \ ^ include/linux/crash_dump.h:41:37: note: in expansion of macro 'elf_check_arch' #define vmcore_elf64_check_arch(x) (elf_check_arch(x) || vmcore_elf_check_arch_cross(x)) ^ fs/proc/vmcore.c:1015:4: note: in expansion of macro 'vmcore_elf64_check_arch' !vmcore_elf64_check_arch(&ehdr) || ^ Therefore, we rather define vmcore_elf{32|64}_check_arch() as a basic machine check and use it also in binfm_elf?32.c as well.
