Subject: [PATCH] slab: work around clang bug #42570
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2019 11:04:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190712090455.266021-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
Clang gets rather confused about two variables in the same special
section when one of them is not initialized, leading to an assembler
warning later:
/tmp/slab_common-18f869.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/slab_common-18f869.s:7526: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data..ro_after_init
Adding an initialization to kmalloc_caches is rather silly here
but does avoid the issue.
Link: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42570
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

We might decide to wait until this is fixed in clang, but
so far all versions targetting x86 seem to be affected.
