[ Upstream commit 3f9952e8d80cca2da3b47ecd5ad9ec16cfd1a649 ]
The __string() and __assign_str() helper macros of the TRACE_EVENT() macro
are going through some optimizations where only the source string of
__string() will be used and the __assign_str() source will be ignored and
later removed.
To make sure that there's no issues, a new check is added between the
__string() src argument and the __assign_str() src argument that does a
strcmp() to make sure they are the same string.
The hclgevf trace events have:
__assign_str(devname, &hdev->nic.kinfo.netdev->name);
Which triggers the warning:
hclgevf_trace.h:34:39: error: passing argument 1 of ‘strcmp’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
34 | __assign_str(devname, &hdev->nic.kinfo.netdev->name);
[..]
arch/x86/include/asm/string_64.h:75:24: note: expected ‘const char *’ but argument is of type ‘char (*)[16]’
75 | int strcmp(const char *cs, const char *ct);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~
Because __assign_str() now has:
WARN_ON_ONCE(__builtin_constant_p(src) ? \
strcmp((src), __data_offsets.dst##_ptr_) : \
(src) != __data_offsets.dst##_ptr_); \
The problem is the '&' on hdev->nic.kinfo.netdev->name. That's because
that name is:
char name[IFNAMSIZ]
Where passing an address '&' of a char array is not compatible with strcmp().
The '&' is not necessary, remove it.

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.
