Commit 531b014e ("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.
