Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/tm: Limit TM code inside PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM
Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2019 11:16:45 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1547039805-7979-1-git-send-email-leitao@debian.org> (raw)
Commit e1c3743e1a20 ("powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint")
moved a code block around and this block uses a 'msr' variable outside of
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM, however the 'msr' variable is declared
inside a CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, causing a possible error when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTION_MEM is not defined.
error: 'msr' undeclared (first use in this function)
This is not causing a compilation error in the mainline kernel, because
'msr' is being used as an argument of MSR_TM_ACTIVE(), which is defined as
the following when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is *not* set:
#define MSR_TM_ACTIVE(x) 0
This patch just fixes this issue avoiding the 'msr' variable usage outside
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, avoiding trusting in the
MSR_TM_ACTIVE() definition.

NB: Since stable kernels didn't cherry picked 5c784c8414fba ('powerpc/tm:
Remove msr_tm_active()), MSR_TM_ACTIVE() is not defined as 0 for
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n case, thus triggering the compilation error
above.
Tested against stable kernel 4.19.13-rc2 and problem is now fixed when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n
