[PATCH 0/1] arm: Fix fallout from the access_once tree

[PATCH 0/1] arm: Fix fallout from the access_once tree

[Christian Borntraeger]

Russell,

the access_once tree in Linux next addresses an issue discussed in
http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com and
http://lwn.net/Articles/624126/

There is one small fallout left for the arm tree with rpc_defconfig:
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/12322985/

font.c:(.text+0x34): undefined reference to `data_access_exceeds_word_size'
font.c:(.text+0x9c): undefined reference to `data_access_exceeds_word_size'
make[3]: *** [arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1
make[2]: *** [arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
make[1]: *** [zImage] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

Turns out that arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile does use
-Dstatic= which breaks compiler.h (which gets somehow included)

Can you Ack this change (or propose an alternative)
Thanks

Christian

[PATCH] arm/rpc: avoid static keyword removal via define

[Christian Borntraeger]

commit 4486b86368d7 ("[ARM] riscpc: fix decompressor font file handling")
introduced Makefile magic to avoid building a file two times. Using
-Dstatic= does break some assumptions on compiler.h that were introduced
for READ_ONCE.

Lets just use sed on the copy instead of using a define.

This fixed the linux-next build http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/target/1508/
Unless anybody complains, I will send the pull request for the access_once tree tomorrow and I have this patch applied on top.

As I said, I want to send this series this merge window, so if you dont find the time to look into this before rc1, I can remove this patch from my queue and we solve this later?

So only CONFIG_ARCH_ACORN is affected.

As I said, I want to send this series this merge window, so if you
do not find the time to look into this before rc1, what about removing
this patch from my queue and we solve this later? 
Acorn Risc CPU is probably not the hottest platform right now, so if we 
fix this in rc2 or rc3 this might be ok - I guess.

How does compiler.h get included when building font.o?

Since I haven't seen your patch series, I guess it gets included somehow
via linux/types.h ?

The patch series can be found here
