Subject: [PATCH 3/7] kexec_file: Adjust declaration of kexec_purgatory
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 13:26:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1497903987-21002-4-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1497903987-21002-1-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org>
Defining kexec_purgatory as a zero-length char array upsets compile
time size checking. Since this is built on a per-arch basis, define
it as an unsized char array (like is done for other similar things,
e.g. linker sections). This silences the warning generated by the future
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, which did not like the memcmp() of a "0 byte"
array. This drops the __weak and uses an extern instead, since both
users define kexec_purgatory.
