tracing: Fix freak link error caused by branch tracer
In my randconfig tests, I came across a bug that involves several components: * gcc-4.9 through at least 5.3 * CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL enabling -fprofile-arcs for all files * CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES overriding every if() * The optimized implementation of do_div() that tries to replace a library call with an division by multiplication * code in drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.c doing u32 adc_clock = 450560; /* 45.056 MHz */ if (state->config.adc_clock) adc_clock = state->config.adc_clock; do_div(value, adc_clock); In this case, gcc fails to determine whether the divisor in do_div() is __builtin_constant_p(). In particular, it concludes that __builtin_constant_p(adc_clock) is false, while __builtin_constant_p(!!adc_clock) is true. That in turn throws off the logic in do_div() that also uses __builtin_constant_p(), and instead of picking either the constant- optimized division, and the code in ilog2() that uses __builtin_constant_p() to figure out whether it knows the answer at compile time. The result is a link error from failing to find multiple symbols that should never have been called based on the __builtin_constant_p(): dvb-frontends/zl10353.c:138: undefined reference to `____ilog2_NaN' dvb-frontends/zl10353.c:138: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' ERROR: "____ilog2_NaN" [drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.ko] undefined! ERROR: "__aeabi_uldivmod" [drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.ko] undefined! This patch avoids the problem by changing __trace_if() to check whether the condition is known at compile-time to be nonzero, rather than checking whether it is actually a constant. I see this one link error in roughly one out of 1600 randconfig builds on ARM, and the patch fixes all known instances.
