[PATCH 4.4 03/99] MIPS: MSA: Fix a link error on `_init_msa_upper with older GCC

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jun 05 2016 - 17:42:50 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e49d38488515057dba8f0c2ba4cfde5be4a7281f upstream.

Fix a build regression from commit c9017757c532 ("MIPS: init upper 64b
of vector registers when MSA is first used"):

arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `enable_restore_fp_context':
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'

to !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations with older GCC versions, which are
unable to figure out that calls to `_init_msa_upper' are indeed dead.
Of the many ways to tackle this failure choose the approach we have
already taken in `thread_msa_context_live'.
