[PATCH 5.2 048/131] mm/slab_common.c: work around clang bug #42570

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 05 2019 - 09:23:39 EST


[ Upstream commit a07057dce2823e10d64a2b73cefbf09d8645efe9 ]

Clang gets rather confused about two variables in the same special
section when one of them is not initialized, leading to an assembler
warning later:

/tmp/slab_common-18f869.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/slab_common-18f869.s:7526: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data..ro_after_init

Adding an initialization to kmalloc_caches is rather silly here
but does avoid the issue.
