x86/oprofile: Fix bogus GCC-8 warning in nmi_setup()
GCC-8 shows a warning for the x86 oprofile code that copies per-CPU data from CPU 0 to all other CPUs, which when building a non-SMP kernel turns into a memcpy() with identical source and destination pointers: arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c: In function 'mux_clone': arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c:285:2: error: 'memcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict] memcpy(per_cpu(cpu_msrs, cpu).multiplex, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ per_cpu(cpu_msrs, 0).multiplex, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sizeof(struct op_msr) * model->num_virt_counters); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c: In function 'nmi_setup': arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c:466:3: error: 'memcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict] arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c:470:3: error: 'memcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict] I have analyzed a number of such warnings now: some are valid and the GCC warning is welcome. Others turned out to be false-positives, and GCC was changed to not warn about those any more. This is a corner case that is a false-positive but the GCC developers feel it's better to keep warning about it. In this case, it seems best to work around it by telling GCC a little more clearly that this code path is never hit with an IS_ENABLED() configuration check. Cc:stable as we also want old kernels to build cleanly with GCC-8.
