arm64/neon: Disable -Wincompatible-pointer-types when building with C…
…lang After commit cc9f834 ("arm64: crypto: add NEON accelerated XOR implementation"), Clang builds for arm64 started failing with the following error message. arch/arm64/lib/xor-neon.c:58:28: error: incompatible pointer types assigning to 'const unsigned long *' from 'uint64_t *' (aka 'unsigned long long *') [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types] v3 = veorq_u64(vld1q_u64(dp1 + 6), vld1q_u64(dp2 + 6)); ^~~~~~~~ /usr/lib/llvm-9/lib/clang/9.0.0/include/arm_neon.h:7538:47: note: expanded from macro 'vld1q_u64' __ret = (uint64x2_t) __builtin_neon_vld1q_v(__p0, 51); \ ^~~~ There has been quite a bit of debate and triage that has gone into figuring out what the proper fix is, viewable at the link below, which is still ongoing. Ard suggested disabling this warning with Clang with a pragma so no neon code will have this type of error. While this is not at all an ideal solution, this build error is the only thing preventing KernelCI from having successful arm64 defconfig and allmodconfig builds on linux-next. Getting continuous integration running is more important so new warnings/errors or boot failures can be caught and fixed quickly.
