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.
