Subject: [PATCH 4/4] alpha: Use absolute_pointer for strcmp on fixed memory location
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2021 09:01:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210912160149.2227137-5-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210912160149.2227137-1-linux@roeck-us.net>

alpha:allmodconfig fails to build with the following error
when using gcc 11.x.

arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c: In function 'setup_arch':
arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c:493:13: error:
	'strcmp' reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0

Avoid the problem by using absolute_pointer() when providing a memory
address to strcmp().
