Commit Message

Arnd Bergmann Sept. 6, 2019, 3:46 p.m. UTC
Without the frame pointer enabled, return_address() is an inline
function and does not need to be exported, as shown by this warning:

WARNING: "return_address" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

Move the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() into the #ifdef as well.

Simple - it got merged, it caused build regressions, it got dropped.
A new version is pending me doing another round of patch merging.

I believe that was not Arnd's patch, but Ben Dooks' alternative solution[*]?

[*] Commit 0b0617e5a610fe12 ("ARM: 8918/1: only build return_address() if
    needed"), which I discovered in next-20191031 when checking if Arnd's
    patch was applied....

Arnd,

I believe this patch is the correct fix.
Could you please put it into Russell's patch tracker?

Is there something wrong with:

fb033c95c94c ARM: 8918/2: only build return_address() if needed

I haven't seen any build issues with that.

Sorry, I had not checked Ben's patch because you said
"Simple - it got merged, it caused build regressions, it got dropped."


Yup, I've checked it right now,
and it looks good to me.

But, I do not see that commit in the latest linux-next
(next-20191120).

Could you really apply it if you have not.

Thanks!

That was 8918/1.  Ben fixed his patch, and submitted an updated
version.

It was applied last Friday and was pushed out there and then.

$ git ls-remote zeniv | grep for-next
022eb8ae8b5ee8c5c813923c69b5ebb1e9612c4c        refs/heads/for-next
$ git lg for-next
022eb8ae8b5e ARM: 8938/1: kernel: initialize broadcast hrtimer based
clock event device
...
fb033c95c94c ARM: 8918/2: only build return_address() if needed

I've no idea why linux-next doesn't have it.

Okay, apparently linux-next _does_ have it:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/arch/arm/kernel/Makefile

so I think you're confused.
