Xen is heavily relying on the DCE stage to remove unused code so the
linker doesn't throw an error because a function is not implemented
yet we defined a prototype for it.
On some GCC versions (such as 9.4 provided by Debian sid), the compiler
DCE stage will not manage to figure that out for
xenmem_add_to_physmap_batch():
ld: ld: prelink.o: in function `xenmem_add_to_physmap_batch':
/xen/xen/common/memory.c:942: undefined reference to `xenmem_add_to_physmap_one'
/xen/xen/common/memory.c:942:(.text+0x22145): relocation truncated
to fit: R_X86_64_PLT32 against undefined symbol `xenmem_add_to_physmap_one'
prelink-efi.o: in function `xenmem_add_to_physmap_batch':
/xen/xen/common/memory.c:942: undefined reference to `xenmem_add_to_physmap_one'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:215: /root/xen/xen/xen.efi] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
ld: /xen/xen/.xen-syms.0: hidden symbol `xenmem_add_to_physmap_one' isn't defined
ld: final link failed: bad value
It is not entirely clear why the compiler DCE is not detecting the
unused code. However, cloning the check introduced by the commit below
into xenmem_add_to_physmap_batch() does the trick.
No functional change intended.
