commit 2fbdb6d8e03b70668c0876e635506540ae92ab05 upstream.
On arm32, size_t is defined to be unsigned int, while PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long. This hence triggers a compilation warning as min() asserts the type of two operands to be equal. Casting PAGE_SIZE to size_t solves this issue and works on other target architectures as well.
Compilation warning details:
kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_splice_read_pipe': ./include/linux/minmax.h:20:28: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1))) ^ ./include/linux/minmax.h:26:4: note: in expansion of macro '__typecheck' (__typecheck(x, y) && __no_side_effects(x, y)) ^~~~~~~~~~~
...
kernel/trace/trace.c:6771:8: note: in expansion of macro 'min' min((size_t)trace_seq_used(&iter->seq), ^~~
