From 3752057d8548fc1b00cde42a751a67a7df3481ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:10:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGS commit 68df3755e383e6fecf2354a67b08f92f18536594 upstream. This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie things like if (ptr + offset < ptr) which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597 for details. Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional (it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).
