Rozycki" To: Alessandro Zummo , Alexandre Belloni cc: linux-rtc@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, stable@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rtc: cmos: Fix non-ACPI undefined reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt' In-Reply-To: Message-ID: References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-rtc-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Fix a commit 311ee9c151ad ("rtc: cmos: allow using ACPI for RTC alarm instead of HPET") `rtc-cmos' regression causing a link error: drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.o: In function `cmos_platform_probe': rtc-cmos.c:(.init.text+0x33c): undefined reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt' rtc-cmos.c:(.init.text+0x3f4): undefined reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt' with non-ACPI platforms using this driver. The cause is the change of the condition guarding the use of `hpet_rtc_interrupt'. Previously it was a call to `is_hpet_enabled'. That function is static inline and has a hardcoded 0 result for non-ACPI platforms, which imply !HPET_EMULATE_RTC. Consequently the compiler optimized the whole block away including the reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt', which never made it to the link stage. Now the guarding condition is a call to `use_hpet_alarm', which is not static inline and therefore the compiler may not be able to prove that it actually always returns 0 for non-ACPI platforms. Consequently the build breaks with an unsatisfied reference, because `hpet_rtc_interrupt' is nowhere defined at link time. Fix the problem by marking `use_hpet_alarm' inline. As the `inline' keyword serves as an optimization hint rather than a requirement the compiler is still free to choose whether inlining will be beneficial or not for ACPI platforms.
