3.16.59-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Markus Trippelsdorf <markus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7ebb916782949621ff6819acf373a06902df7679 upstream. gcc-7 warns: In file included from arch/x86/tools/relocs_64.c:17:0: arch/x86/tools/relocs.c: In function ‘process_64’: arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:953:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull] qsort(r->offset, r->count, sizeof(r->offset[0]), cmp_relocs); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from arch/x86/tools/relocs.h:6:0, from arch/x86/tools/relocs_64.c:1: /usr/include/stdlib.h:741:13: note: in a call to function ‘qsort’ declared here extern void qsort This happens because relocs16 is not used for ELF_BITS == 64, so there is no point in trying to sort it. Make the sort_relocs(&relocs16) call 32bit only.
