The patch titled
Subject: linux/linkage.h: fix symbol prefix handling
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
linux-linkageh-fix-symbol-prefix-handling.patch
This patch was dropped because an alternative patch was merged
------------------------------------------------------
From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: linux/linkage.h: fix symbol prefix handling
e1b5bb6d1236d4a ("consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS
declarations") broke the build on blackfin and metag due to the following
code:
#ifndef SYMBOL_NAME
#ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
#define SYMBOL_NAME(x) CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ## x
#else
#define SYMBOL_NAME(x) x
#endif
#endif
#define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_NAME(x))
__stringify literally stringifies CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ##x, so you get
lines like this in the assembly output:
.weak CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl
.set
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl,CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall
This is fixed by defining SYMBOL_PREFIX from the command line for c files
in addition to assembly for architectures that set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
(scripts/Makefile.lib), and defining __SYMBOL_NAME as:
#define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_PREFIX) #x
We first have to ensure SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined (which avoids polluting
the command lines for architectures that don't use symbol prefixes). Also
the definition of SYMBOL_PREFIX in <linux/kernel.h> is removed as it
conflicts, isn't used anywhere, and is defined as a string so differs from
the assembly definition.
