Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] ARM: fix duplicate extern declarations
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 05:06:06 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113010631.139191-2-safocl88@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113010631.139191-1-safocl88@gmail.com>
Compiling a kernel module with a C++ compiler results in a "duplicate
extern specifier" error.
This occurs because the code contains `extern asmlinkage`, and `asmlinkage`
expands to `extern C` when processed by a C++ compiler.
Since the code already contains sections that respond to a C++ compiler,
I believe it is a perfectly valid approach to gradually move toward a state
where kernel modules can be compiled by a C++ compiler without any issues.
The `extern` specifier must be removed.
