Subject: [PATCH 20/20] tools lib: Fix builds when glibc contains strlcpy()

From: Vitaly Chikunov <vt@...linux.org>

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.

Fixes: ce99091 ("perf tools: Move strlcpy() from perf to tools/lib/string.c")
Fixes: 0215d59 ("tools lib: Reinstate strlcpy() header guard with __UCLIBC__")
