Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: avoid static_assert for genksyms
Date: Fri,  4 Dec 2020 00:09:44 +0100
Message-ID: <20201203230955.1482058-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

genksyms does not know or care about the _Static_assert() built-in,
and sometimes falls back to ignoring the later symbols, which causes
undefined behavior such as

WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
ld: net/ethtool/common.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against `__crc_ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops' can not be used when making a shared object
net/ethtool/common.o:(_ftrace_annotated_branch+0x0): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation

Redefine static_assert for genksyms to avoid that.
