Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot/64: Fix spurious undefined reference when CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=n
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2024 10:41:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241209094105.762857-2-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
In __startup_64(), the bool 'la57' can only assume the 'true' value if
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL is enabled in the build, and generally, the compiler
can make this inference at build time, and elide any references to the
symbol 'level4_kernel_pgt', which may be undefined if 'la57' is false.
As it turns out, GCC 12 gets this wrong sometimes, and gives up with a
build error
ld: arch/x86/kernel/head64.o: in function `__startup_64':
head64.c:(.head.text+0xbd): undefined reference to `level4_kernel_pgt'
even though the reference is in unreachable code. Fix this by
duplicating the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL) in the conditional that
tests the value of 'la57'.
