These macros skip the type checking, # and as such need to be very sparingly used only for obvious cases that # have active issues like this. # # Reported-by: Lorenzo Stoakes # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/36aa2cad-1db1-4abf-8dd2-fb20484aabc3@lucifer.local/ # Cc: David Laight # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 3a7e02c040b130b5545e4b115aada7bacd80a2b6 # make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_corenet64_smp_defconfig_powerpc-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- corenet64_smp_defconfig Using /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/corenet_base.config as base Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-64bit.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-smp.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/altivec.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-hw.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/fsl-emb-nonhw.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/dpaa.config # # merged configuration written to .config (needs make) # # < make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_corenet64_smp_defconfig_powerpc-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_corenet64_smp_defconfig_powerpc-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 160 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_corenet64_smp_defconfig_powerpc-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_corenet64_smp_defconfig_powerpc-gcc13 # Build took: 0:05:20.822576
