Don't define string functions to builtin gcc should handle this anyways, and it causes problems when sprintf is turned into strcpy by gcc behind our backs and the C fallback version of strcpy is actually defining __builtin_strcpy Then drop -ffreestanding from the main Makefile because it isn't needed anymore and implies -fno-builtin, which is wrong now. (it was only added for x86-64, so dropping it should be safe) Noticed by Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen --- Makefile | 3 +-- include/asm-x86_64/string.h | 17 +++-------------- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) Index: linux/include/asm-x86_64/string.h =================================================================== --- linux.orig/include/asm-x86_64/string.h +++ linux/include/asm-x86_64/string.h @@ -40,26 +40,15 @@ extern void *__memcpy(void *to, const vo #define __HAVE_ARCH_MEMSET -#define memset __builtin_memset +void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n); #define __HAVE_ARCH_MEMMOVE void * memmove(void * dest,const void *src,size_t count); -/* Use C out of line version for memcmp */ -#define memcmp __builtin_memcmp int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count); - -/* out of line string functions use always C versions */ -#define strlen __builtin_strlen size_t strlen(const char * s); - -#define strcpy __builtin_strcpy -char * strcpy(char * dest,const char *src); - -#define strcat __builtin_strcat -char * strcat(char * dest, const char * src); - -#define strcmp __builtin_strcmp +char *strcpy(char * dest,const char *src); +char *strcat(char * dest, const char * src); int strcmp(const char * cs,const char * ct); #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ Index: linux/Makefile =================================================================== --- linux.orig/Makefile +++ linux/Makefile @@ -339,8 +339,7 @@ LINUXINCLUDE := -Iinclude \ CPPFLAGS := -D__KERNEL__ $(LINUXINCLUDE) CFLAGS := -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs \ - -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common \ - -ffreestanding + -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common AFLAGS := -D__ASSEMBLY__ # Read KERNELRELEASE from .kernelrelease (if it exists)
