Hi all,
After merging the efi-fixes tree, today's linux-next build (all of them)
failed like this:
/srv/kbuild/next/linux.git/fs/efivarfs/super.c: In function 'efivarfs_d_hash':
/srv/kbuild/next/linux.git/fs/efivarfs/super.c:183:20: error: assignment of member 'hash' in read-only object
183 | qstr->hash = end_name_hash(hash);
| ^
/srv/kbuild/next/linux.git/fs/efivarfs/super.c: At top level:
/srv/kbuild/next/linux.git/fs/efivarfs/super.c:189:19: error: initialization of 'int (*)(const struct dentry *, struct qstr *)' from incompatible pointer type 'int (*)(const struct dentry *, const struct qstr *)' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
189 | .d_hash = efivarfs_d_hash,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caused by commit
9c7c5eec5bca ("efivarfs: use QSTR() in efivarfs_alloc_dentry")
and like this:
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/relocate.stub.o: in function `efi_relocate_kernel':
/srv/kbuild/next/linux.git/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/relocate.c:161:(.text+0x278): undefined reference to `efi_cache_sync_image'
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux: hidden symbol `efi_cache_sync_image' isn't defined
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: final link failed: bad value
Caused by commit
4db2b7fdd6c9 ("efi/libstub: Synchronize instruction cache after kernel relocation")
I've fixed up both issues with the following patches, please squash these
or equivalent changes into your tree to fix this.
Thanks,
Thierry
