If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Finn Thain commit 28713169d879b67be2ef2f84dcf54905de238294 upstream. This patch fixes a build failure when using GCC 8.1: /usr/bin/ld: block/partitions/ldm.o: in function `ldm_parse_tocblock': block/partitions/ldm.c:153: undefined reference to `strcmp' This is caused by a new optimization which effectively replaces a strncmp() call with a strcmp() call. This affects a number of strncmp() call sites in the kernel. The entire class of optimizations is avoided with -fno-builtin, which gets enabled by -ffreestanding. This may avoid possible future build failures in case new optimizations appear in future compilers. I haven't done any performance measurements with this patch but I did count the function calls in a defconfig build. For example, there are now 23 more sprintf() calls and 39 fewer strcpy() calls. The effect on the other libc functions is smaller. If this harms performance we can tackle that regression by optimizing the call sites, ideally using semantic patches. That way, clang and ICC builds might benfit too.
