tools lib: Fix builds when glibc contains strlcpy()
commit 6c4798d3 upstream. Disable a couple of compilation warnings (which are treated as errors) on strlcpy() definition and declaration, allowing users to compile perf and kernel (objtool) when: 1. glibc have strlcpy() (such as in ALT Linux since 2004) objtool and perf build fails with this (in gcc): In file included from exec-cmd.c:3: tools/include/linux/string.h:20:15: error: redundant redeclaration of ‘strlcpy’ [-Werror=redundant-decls] 20 | extern size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size); 2. clang ignores `-Wredundant-decls', but produces another warning when building perf: CC util/string.o ../lib/string.c:99:8: error: attribute declaration must precede definition [-Werror,-Wignored-attributes] size_t __weak strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size) ../../tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66:34: note: expanded from macro '__weak' # define __weak __attribute__((weak)) /usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:151:8: note: previous definition is here __NTH (strlcpy (char *__restrict __dest, const char *__restrict __src, Committer notes: The #pragma GCC diagnostic directive was introduced in gcc 4.6, so check for that as well.
