[PATCH v3] perf build: Build error in libbpf with EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2"

From: Thomas Richter
Date: Mon Jul 30 2018 - 04:54:03 EST


commit 531b014e7a2f ("tools: bpf: make use of reallocarray")
causes a compiler error when building the perf tool in the linux-next
tree. Compile file tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c on a FEDORA 28
installation with gcc compiler
version: gcc (GCC) 8.0.1 20180324 (Red Hat 8.0.1-0.20)
shows this error message:

[root@p23lp27] # make V=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2"
[...]
make -f /home6/tmricht/linux-next/tools/build/Makefile.build
dir=./util/scripting-engines obj=libperf
libbpf.c: In function âbpf_object__elf_collectâ:
libbpf.c:811:15: error: ignoring return value of âstrerror_râ,
declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
strerror_r(-err, errmsg, sizeof(errmsg));
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
mv: cannot stat './.libbpf.o.tmp': No such file or directory
/home6/tmricht/linux-next/tools/build/Makefile.build:96: recipe for target 'libbpf.o' failed

Replace all occurrences of strerror() by calls to strerror_r().
To keep the compiler quiet also use the return value from strerror_r()
otherwise a 'variable set but not use' warning which is treated as error
terminates the compile.
