powerpc/64/asm: Do not reassign labels
The LLVM integrated assembler really does not like us reassigning things to the same label: <instantiation>:7:9: error: invalid reassignment of non-absolute variable 'fs_label' This happens across a bunch of platforms: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1043 https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1008 https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/920 https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1050 There is no hope of getting this fixed in LLVM (see https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1043#issuecomment-641571200 and https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47798#c1 ) so if we want to build with LLVM_IAS, we need to hack around it ourselves. For us the big problem comes from this: \#define USE_FIXED_SECTION(sname) \ fs_label = start_##sname; \ fs_start = sname##_start; \ use_ftsec sname; \#define USE_TEXT_SECTION() fs_label = start_text; \ fs_start = text_start; \ .text and in particular fs_label. This works around it by not setting those 'variables' and requiring that users of the variables instead track for themselves what section they are in. This isn't amazing, by any stretch, but it gets us further in the compilation. Note that even though users have to keep track of the section, using a wrong one produces an error with both binutils and llvm which prevents from using wrong section at the compile time: llvm error example: AS arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o <unknown>:0: error: Cannot represent a difference across sections make[3]: *** [/home/aik/p/kernels-llvm/llvm/scripts/Makefile.build:388: arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1 binutils error example: /home/aik/p/kernels-llvm/llvm/arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages: /home/aik/p/kernels-llvm/llvm/arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:1974: Error: can't resolve `system_call_common' {.text section} - `start_r eal_vectors' {.head.text.real_vectors section} make[3]: *** [/home/aik/p/kernels-llvm/llvm/scripts/Makefile.build:388: arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net> Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211221055904.555763-5-aik@ozlabs.ru
