Subject: [PATCH] arch/powerpc: use BUILD_BUG() when detect unfit {cmp}xchg, size
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 16:45:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56CC1C1C.6030405@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
From: pan xinhui <xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() can't tell us what codes use {cmp}xchg
in incorrect way. And no error will be reported until the link stage.
To fix such kinds of issues in a easy way, we use BUILD_BUG() here.
