Thus the "attempt" in the # summary line. # # [ Note: in a small nod to "the profiling code can cause NUMA problems", # this also removes the "increment the last entry in the profiling array # on any unknown hits" logic. That would account any program counter in # a module to that single counter location, and might exacerbate any # NUMA cacheline bouncing issues ] # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgs52BxT4Zjmjz8aNvHWKxf5_ThBY4bYL1Y6CTaNL2dTw@mail.gmail.com/ # Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git [1] # Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> # Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 2accfdb7eff65f390c4308b0e9cb7c3fe48ad63c # make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- ppc64le_defconfig Using /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/ppc64_defconfig as base Merging /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/configs/le.config # # merged configuration written to .config (needs make) # # < make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- In file included from /kisskb/src/include/asm-generic/percpu.h:7:0, from /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/include/asm/percpu.h:28, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/irqflags.h:19, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/spinlock.h:59, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/mmzone.h:8, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/gfp.h:7, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/mm.h:7, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/memblock.h:12, from /kisskb/src/kernel/profile.c:20: /kisskb/src/kernel/profile.c:51:48: warning: 'cpu_profile_hits' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct profile_hit [2], cpu_profile_hits); ^ /kisskb/src/include/linux/percpu-defs.h:104:37: note: in definition of macro 'DEFINE_PER_CPU_SECTION' __PCPU_ATTRS(sec) __typeof__(type) name ^ /kisskb/src/kernel/profile.c:51:8: note: in expansion of macro 'DEFINE_PER_CPU' static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct profile_hit [2], cpu_profile_hits); ^ /kisskb/src/kernel/profile.c:52:28: warning: 'cpu_profile_flip' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, cpu_profile_flip); ^ /kisskb/src/include/linux/percpu-defs.h:104:37: note: in definition of macro 'DEFINE_PER_CPU_SECTION' __PCPU_ATTRS(sec) __typeof__(type) name ^ /kisskb/src/kernel/profile.c:52:8: note: in expansion of macro 'DEFINE_PER_CPU' static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, cpu_profile_flip); ^ cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option '-Wno-shift-negative-value' cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option '-Wno-stringop-overflow' Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:01:54.894034
