[PATCH 4.14 018/237] latent_entropy: avoid build error when plugin cflags are not set

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Vasily Gorbik <gor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7e756f423af808b6571fed3144747db2ef7fa1c5 upstream.

Some architectures set up CFLAGS for linux decompressor phase from
scratch and do not include GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS. Since "latent_entropy"
variable declaration is generated by the plugin code itself including
linux/random.h in decompressor code then would cause a build
error. E.g. on s390:

In file included from ./include/linux/net.h:22,
                 from ./include/linux/skbuff.h:29,
                 from ./include/linux/if_ether.h:23,
                 from ./arch/s390/include/asm/diag.h:12,
                 from arch/s390/boot/startup.c:8:
./include/linux/random.h: In function 'add_latent_entropy':
./include/linux/random.h:26:39: error: 'latent_entropy' undeclared
(first use in this function); did you mean 'add_latent_entropy'?
   26 |  add_device_randomness((const void *)&latent_entropy,
      |                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                                       add_latent_entropy
./include/linux/random.h:26:39: note: each undeclared identifier is
reported only once for each function it appears in

The build error is triggered by commit a80313ff91ab ("s390/kernel:
introduce .dma sections") which made it into 5.2 merge window.

To address that avoid using CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY in
favour of LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN definition which is defined as a
part of gcc plugins cflags and hence reflect more accurately when gcc
plugin is active. Besides that it is also used for similar purpose in
linux/compiler-gcc.h for latent_entropy attribute definition.
