Subject: [PATCH] gcc-plugins: Undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN when plugin disabled for a file
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 15:17:20 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220816051720.44108-1-ajd@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Commit 36d4b36b6959 ("lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and
node_random()") refactored some code by moving node_random() from
lib/nodemask.c to include/linux/nodemask.h, thus requiring nodemask.h to
include random.h, which conditionally defines add_latent_entropy()
depending on whether the macro LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is defined.

This broke the build on powerpc, where nodemask.h is indirectly included
in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, part of the early boot machinery that
is excluded from the latent entropy plugin using
DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN. It turns out that while we add a gcc flag
to disable the actual plugin, we don't undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN.

This leads to the following:

    CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o

Change the DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN flags to undefine
LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN for files where the plugin is disabled.
