gcc7 编译 linux内核提示 undefined reference to `____ilog2_NaN'

1. 问题

 gcc7.3 编译linux内核linux-4.10.4时，出现如下错误：

 

  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  UPD     include/generated/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      vmlinux.o
  MODPOST vmlinux.o
kernel/built-in.o: In function `update_wall_time':
/home/ubuntu/linux-4.10.4/kernel/time/timekeeping.c:2088: undefined reference to `____ilog2_NaN'
Makefile:969: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

2. 网上搜了下， 需要打patch

复制patch内容 保存成 patch.diff文件, 拷贝文件到linux内核路径下，

运行命令： patch -i patch.diff, 提示输入操作文件时， 先后输入 include/linux/log2.h， tools/include/linux/log2.h即可。

 

3. 后记

看patch的意思，就是不用'____ilog2_NaN'函数。
