[Bug c/31944] New: Endless loop while building a 64-bit 2.6.20 kernel

[aurelien at aurel32 dot net]

The file fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c from the 2.6.20 kernel triggers an endless
loop in gcc 4.1 built for the hppa64-linux-gnu target.

It occurs at -O2, but not at -O1 or -O0. Also specifying -fno-cse-follow-jumps
workaround the problem.


Thanks to Randolph Chung we have a reduced testcase:

struct bug { int type; };

static void stuck(struct bug *mle, void *res)
{
 if (mle->type == 1) {
  if (res == 0) asm volatile("nop");
 } 
 else if (mle->type == 0) {
  if (res == 0) {
    asm volatile("nop" : : "i" (0)); 
  }
 }
}

void foo(void) { stuck(0, 0); }
void bar(void) { stuck(0, 0); }


And some infos about the compiler used:

Using built-in specs.
