bpf: fix build error in libbpf with EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp, -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2"
Commit
531b014e7a2f ("tools: bpf: make use of reallocarray") causes
a compiler error when building the perf tool in the linux-next tree.
Compile file tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c on a FEDORA 28 installation with
gcc compiler version: gcc (GCC) 8.0.1
20180324 (Red Hat 8.0.1-0.20)
shows this error message:
[root@p23lp27] # make V=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2"
[...]
make -f /home6/tmricht/linux-next/tools/build/Makefile.build
dir=./util/scripting-engines obj=libperf
libbpf.c: In function ‘bpf_object__elf_collect’:
libbpf.c:811:15: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’,
declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
strerror_r(-err, errmsg, sizeof(errmsg));
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
mv: cannot stat './.libbpf.o.tmp': No such file or directory
/home6/tmricht/linux-next/tools/build/Makefile.build:96: recipe for target 'libbpf.o' failed
Replace all occurrences of strerror() by calls to strerror_r(). To
keep the compiler quiet also use the return value from strerror_r()
otherwise a 'variable set but not use' warning which is treated as
error terminates the compile.
