[PATCH] kselftest/arm64: Fix build failure with GCC-15
Posted by Leo Yan 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Building on Debian sid with GCC 15 fails:

    CC       libc-gcs
  libc-gcs.c: In function 'ptrace_read_write':
  libc-gcs.c:142:25: error: storage size of 'child_gcs' isn't known
    142 |         struct user_gcs child_gcs;
        |                         ^~~~~~~~~
  libc-gcs.c:142:25: warning: unused variable 'child_gcs' [-Wunused-variable]

GCC-15 defines NT_ARM_GCS in the toolchain headers, causing gcs-util.h
to skip its fallback definition of struct user_gcs. This leads to the
compiler error.

Fix this by including <asm/ptrace.h> to provide the proper definition.

Are you sure it's GCC and not libc?  Anyway...

Shouldn't this be in gcs-util.h where the local definition is?

Will update commit log and this one. Thanks for review!
