Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix put_user() for gcc-8
|
|
|
|
Building kernels before linux-4.7 with gcc-8 results in many build failures
|
|
when gcc triggers a check that was meant to catch broken compilers:
|
|
|
|
/tmp/ccCGMQmS.s:648: Error: .err encountered
|
|
|
|
According to the discussion in the gcc bugzilla, a local "register
|
|
asm()" variable is still supposed to be the correct way to force an
|
|
inline assembly to use a particular register, but marking it 'const'
|
|
lets the compiler do optimizations that break that, i.e the compiler is
|
|
free to treat the variable as either 'const' or 'register' in that case.
|
|
|
|
Upstream commit 9f73bd8bb445 ("ARM: uaccess: remove put_user() code
|
|
duplication") fixed this problem in linux-4.8 as part of a larger change,
|
|
but seems a little too big to be backported to 4.4.
|
|
|
|
Let's take the simplest fix and change only the one broken line in the
|
|
same way as newer kernels.
