[PATCH] linkage.h: fix build breakage due to symbol prefix handling

From: James Hogan
Date: Wed May 01 2013 - 17:06:49 EST


Al's commit e1b5bb6d1236d4ad2084c53aa83dde7cdf6f8eea ("consolidate
cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations") broke the build on
blackfin and metag due to the following code:

#ifndef SYMBOL_NAME
#ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
#define SYMBOL_NAME(x) CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ## x
#else
#define SYMBOL_NAME(x) x
#endif
#endif
#define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_NAME(x))

__stringify literally stringifies CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ##x, so you get
lines like this in kernel/sys_ni.s:

.weak CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl
.set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl,CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall

The patches in Rusty's modules-next tree such as "CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX:
cleanup." clean up the whole mess around symbol prefixes, so this patch
just attempts to fix the build in the mean time. The intermediate
definition of SYMBOL_NAME above isn't used and is incorrect when
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is a quoted
string literal, so define __SYMBOL_NAME directly depending on
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
