[PATCH 4/9] MIPS: MT: Remove "weak" from vpe_run() declaration

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Sun Jul 12 2015 - 19:11:33 EST


Weak header file declarations are error-prone because they make every
definition weak, and the linker chooses one based on link order (see
10629d711ed7 ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node
decl")).

That's not a problem for vpe_run() because Kconfig ensures there's never
more than one definition:

- vpe_run() is defined in arch/mips/kernel/vpe-mt.c if
CONFIG_MIPS_VPE_LOADER_MT=y

- vpe_run() is defined in arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-amon.c if
CONFIG_MIPS_CMP=y

- CONFIG_MIPS_VPE_LOADER_MT cannot be set if CONFIG_MIPS_CMP=y

But it's simpler to verify correctness if we remove "weak" from the picture
and test the config symbols directly.

Remove "weak" from the vpe_run() declaration and use #if to test whether a
definition should be present.
