Hi Arnd,
when using the ppc64 compiler from kernel.org, I see the following problems
when trying to compile ppc:allnoconfig in v4.14.y or v4.16.y.
gcc 7.3.0: Compilation of kernel.cpu.o hangs
The problem goes away if I apply the following two patches (tested with
4.16.y)
17a2f1ced028 cpu/hotplug: Merge cpuhp_bp_states and cpuhp_ap_states
fcb3029a8d89 cpu/hotplug: Fix unused function warning
This is probably the same as
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84038
I thought I had included the fix in my builds.
Guess not.
I probably had it in one build and then forgot about it when I did a
rebuild of 7.3 :(
I'm still planning to do a new set of gcc-7.3 binaries (or maybe 7.4
if that gets
released soon) and should try to remember doing that.
I think it may have cached the flags from the other compiler version.
"make mrproper" prior to "make defconfig" took care of the issue.
However, that doesn't really help - I get lots of
error: 'sys_spu_create' alias between functions of incompatible types
error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul
if I try to use gcc 8.1.0.
Oh well. I'll try gcc 6.4.0 next.
On the upside, those two errors are just a result of arch/power/*/*.c getting
built with -Werror, they are warnings that gcc-8 introduced that we should
either shut up or fix.
They are fixed in next:
