[ Upstream commit bf2cbe044da275021b2de5917240411a19e5c50d ]
Clang warns:
../kernel/trace/trace.c:9335:33: warning: array comparison always evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare] if (__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt != __start___trace_bprintk_fmt) ^ 1 warning generated.
These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and does not change the runtime result of the check (tested with some print statements compiled in with clang + ld.lld and gcc + ld.bfd in QEMU).
