[ Upstream commit ca5dabcff1df6bc8c413922b5fa63cc602858803 ]
When CONFIG_KASAN is selected, we expect prom_init to use __memset()
because it is too early to use memset().
But with CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL, the compiler adds calls
to memset() to clear objects on stack, hence the following failure:
PROMCHK arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check
Error: External symbol 'memset' referenced from prom_init.c
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:204 :
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check] Erreur 1
prom_find_machine_type() is called from prom_init() and is called only
once, so lets put compat[] in BSS instead of stack to avoid that.
