Subject: [PATCH 2/6] kernel/extable: Wrap section comparison in sort_main_extable with COMPARE_SECTIONS
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2020 21:54:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200219045423.54190-3-natechancellor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200219045423.54190-1-natechancellor@gmail.com>

Clang warns:

../kernel/extable.c:37:52: warning: array comparison always evaluates to
a constant [-Wtautological-compare]
        if (main_extable_sort_needed && __stop___ex_table > __start___ex_table) {
                                                          ^
1 warning generated.

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are
just addresses so there is not a real issue here. Use the
COMPARE_SECTIONS macro to silence this warning by casting the linker
defined symbols to unsigned long, which keeps the logic the same.
