[ Upstream commit af9c5d2e3b355854ff0e4acfbfbfadcd5198a349 ]
compiletime_assert() uses __LINE__ to create a unique function name. This
means that if you have more than one BUILD_BUG_ON() in the same source
line (which can happen if they appear e.g. in a macro), then the error
message from the compiler might output the wrong condition.
For this source file:
#include <linux/build_bug.h>
#define macro() \
BUILD_BUG_ON(1); \
BUILD_BUG_ON(0);
void foo()
{
macro();
}
gcc would output:
./include/linux/compiler.h:350:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_9' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: 0
_compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__)
However, it was not the BUILD_BUG_ON(0) that failed, so it should say 1
instead of 0. With this patch, we use __COUNTER__ instead of __LINE__, so
each BUILD_BUG_ON() gets a different function name and the correct
condition is printed:
./include/linux/compiler.h:350:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_0' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: 1
_compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__)
