I've seen this problem while trying to compile recent kernels with
RedHat Rawhide's gcc-3.10-0.1, are you using that?
I traced the problem to a conflict in include/linux/sunrpc/clnt.h. It
declares rpciod_tcp_dispatcher as extern, but it also includes
linux/sunrpc/xprt.h, which has a static inline definition of
rpciod_tcp_dispatcher. Previous versions of gcc seem to choose the
static inline definition, while gcc-3.10-0.1 chooses the extern
declaration. So I simply deleted the extern declaration from
linux/sunrpc/clnt.h.
With this change, the kernel compiles but oopses in do_signal()
shortly after booting. jakub@redhat.com logged a similar conflict in
RedHat Bugzilla 57413, which I paraphrase here: do_signal() is
delcared as asmlinkage int FASTCALL in arch/i386/kernel/signal.c, but
asmlinkage gives the attribute regparm(0), while FASTCALL gives the
attribute regparm(3). Again, prior versions of gcc chose regparm(3),
while gcc-3.1-0.10 chooses regparm(0). So I simply deleted the
asmlinkage declaration.
With these two small changes, kernel 2.4.17 compiles with gcc-3.1-0.10
and boots on my i386 machine OK. In fact, I'm writing this under it
now. However:
[whitney@pizza linux-2.4.17-gcc-3.1-0.10]$ grep -r "asmlinkage.*FASTCALL" .
./arch/i386/kernel/vm86.c:asmlinkage struct pt_regs * FASTCALL(save_v86_state(struct kernel_vm86_regs * regs));
./arch/s390/kernel/signal.c:asmlinkage int FASTCALL(do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs, sigset_t *oldset));
./arch/s390x/kernel/signal.c:asmlinkage int FASTCALL(do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs, sigset_t *oldset));
./arch/s390x/kernel/signal32.c:asmlinkage int FASTCALL(do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs, sigset_t *oldset));
Maybe some of these need cleaning up? I'll have to leave that to the
experts, I'm more of a grease monkey.
Cheers,
Wayne
