Starting with recent GCC 8 builds, objtool and perf fail to build with the following error: ../str_error_r.c: In function ‘str_error_r’: ../str_error_r.c:25:3: error: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 5 [-Werror=restrict] snprintf(buf, buflen, "INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(%d, %p, %zd)=%d", errnum, buf, buflen, err); The code seems harmless, but there's probably no benefit in printing the 'buf' pointer in this situation anyway, so just remove it to make GCC happy.

/*
|

* The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that returns
|
|
* a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
|
|
*
|
|
* But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the function
|
|
* using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided buffer (we have
|
|
* to check if it returned something else and copy that instead), breaks the
|
|
* build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine Linux, where musl libc is
|
|
* used.
|
|
*
|
|
* So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
|
|
* interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that users
|
|
* rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is returned.
