mainlining shenanigans
d3b351f65b
Building selftests/bpf with latest clang compiler (clang15 built
from source), I hit the following compilation error:
/.../prog_tests/send_signal.c:43:16: error: variable 'j' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
volatile int j = 0;
^
1 error generated.
The problem also exists with clang13 and clang14. clang12 is okay.
In send_signal.c, we have the following code ...
volatile int j = 0;
[...]
for (int i = 0; i < 100000000 && !sigusr1_received; i++)
j /= i + 1;
... to burn CPU cycles so bpf_send_signal() helper can be tested
in NMI mode.
Slightly changing 'j /= i + 1' to 'j /= i + j + 1' or 'j++' can
fix the problem. Further investigation indicated this should be
a clang bug ([1]). The upstream fix will be proposed later. But it
is a good idea to workaround the issue to unblock people who build
kernel/selftests with clang.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
