When building an LTO kernel, the existing code generates warnings:
     ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:37:30: warning: register of
         ‘local_paca’ used for multiple global register variables
      register struct paca_struct *local_paca asm("r13");
                               ^
     ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:37:30: note: conflicts with
         ‘local_paca’

How do you build a LTO kernel ?


This patch reworks local_paca into an inline getter & setter function,
which addresses the warning.

This patch adds sparse warnings, see https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1055875/


Generated ASM from this patch is broadly similar (addresses have
changed and the compiler uses different GPRs in some places).

Your text might be confusion. When I read it the first time I thought you were saying that the compiler was now using another GPR than r13.

I guess the same has to be done for current, see arch/powerpc/include/asm/current.h :

/*
 * We keep `current' in r2 for speed.
 */
register struct task_struct *current asm ("r2");

Why moving this down, why not leaving at the same place as before ?

If you really need to move it, you should remove the 'extern' at the same time to make checkpatch happy.
