internal compiler error: in simplify_subreg, at simplify-rtx.c:5138

[Wu Zhangjin]

Hi,

I'm using the latest gcc 4.5 to compile the latest linux kernel(rc8).

$ mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc --version
mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 4.5.0 20091123 (experimental)

and encountered this error:

$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu- mm/rmap.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h

mm/rmap.c:860:1: internal compiler error: in simplify_subreg, at
simplify-rtx.c:5138
Please submit a full bug report,

I have tried to find the exact place which introduced this error and at
last found out this line of that file:

818               swp_entry_t entry = { .val = page_private(page) };

If I change that line to:

        swp_entry_t entry = { .val = 1 };

the error will go away.

and I found that page_privete(page) is something like this:

include/linux/mm.h:

228 #define page_private(page)              ((page)->private)

So, I moved that (page)->private to the above directly, and try it with:

            swp_entry_t entry = { .val = ((page)->private) };
and 

            swp_entry_t entry = { .val = (page)->private };
and

            swp_entry_t entry = { .val = page->private };

and even tried with:

             swp_entry_t entry;
            entry.val = page->private;  

All of them failed, at last, I found the line of gcc:

5130 /* Simplify SUBREG:OUTERMODE(OP:INNERMODE, BYTE)
5131    Return 0 if no simplifications are possible.  */
5132 rtx
5133 simplify_subreg (enum machine_mode outermode, rtx op, 
5134                  enum machine_mode innermode, unsigned int byte)
5135 {
5136   /* Little bit of sanity checking.  */
5137   gcc_assert (innermode != VOIDmode);

5138   gcc_assert (outermode != VOIDmode);      --> This line.....

5139   gcc_assert (innermode != BLKmode);
5140   gcc_assert (outermode != BLKmode);

any more information needed for the above problem?

Best Regards,
