4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0f9da844d87796ac31b04e81ee95e155e9043132 upstream. The MIPS %.its.S compiler command did not define __ASSEMBLY__, which meant when compiler_types.h was added to kconfig.h, unexpected things appeared (e.g. struct declarations) which should not have been present. As done in the general %.S compiler command, __ASSEMBLY__ is now included here too. The failure was: Error: arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.its:201.1-2 syntax error FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree /usr/bin/mkimage: Can't read arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.itb.tmp: Invalid argument /usr/bin/mkimage Can't add hashes to FIT blob Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 28128c61e08e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct attributes") Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/boot/Makefile | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) --- a/arch/mips/boot/Makefile +++ b/arch/mips/boot/Makefile @@ -126,6 +126,7 @@ $(obj)/vmlinux.its.S: $(addprefix $(srct quiet_cmd_cpp_its_S = ITS $@ cmd_cpp_its_S = $(CPP) $(cpp_flags) -P -C -o $@ $< \ + -D__ASSEMBLY__ \ -DKERNEL_NAME="\"Linux $(KERNELRELEASE)\"" \ -DVMLINUX_BINARY="\"$(3)\"" \ -DVMLINUX_COMPRESSION="\"$(2)\"" \
