From 012e8d2034f1bda8863435cd589636e618d6a659 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Donnellan ajd@linux.ibm.com Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 15:17:20 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] gcc-plugins: Undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN when plugin disabled for a file
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 In file included from ./include/linux/nodemask.h:97, from ./include/linux/mmzone.h:17, from ./include/linux/gfp.h:7, from ./include/linux/xarray.h:15, from ./include/linux/radix-tree.h:21, from ./include/linux/idr.h:15, from ./include/linux/kernfs.h:12, from ./include/linux/sysfs.h:16, from ./include/linux/kobject.h:20, from ./include/linux/pci.h:35, from arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c:24: ./include/linux/random.h: In function 'add_latent_entropy': ./include/linux/random.h:25:46: error: 'latent_entropy' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'add_latent_entropy'? 25 | add_device_randomness((const void *)&latent_entropy, sizeof(latent_entropy)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | add_latent_entropy ./include/linux/random.h:25:46: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:249: arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o] Fehler 1 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:465: arch/powerpc/kernel] Fehler 2 make: *** [Makefile:1855: arch/powerpc] Error 2
Change the DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN flags to undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN for files where the plugin is disabled.
