With upcoming CONFIG_UBSAN the following BUILD_BUG_ON in net/mac80211/debugfs.c starts to trigger: BUILD_BUG_ON(hw_flag_names[NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS] != (void *)0x1); It seems, that compiler instrumentation causes some code deoptimizations. Because of that GCC is not being able to resolve condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() at compile time. We could make size of hw_flag_names array unspecified and replace the condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() with following: ARRAY_SIZE(hw_flag_names) != NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS That will have the same effect as before (adding new flag without updating array will trigger build failure) except it doesn't fail with CONFIG_UBSAN. As a bonus this patch slightly decreases size of hw_flag_names array. Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds [Daniel: backport to 4.4.] Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Hi, The only stable tree which is missing this fix is 4.4. 4.1 doesn't have 30686bf7f5b3 ("mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap") which makes gcc unhappy with allmodconfig. 4.9 contains the fix.
