[ Upstream commit 8236c51d85 ]
Reinette reported following compilation issue on Fedora 32, gcc version
10.1.1
/usr/bin/ld: cqm_test.o:<src_dir>/cqm_test.c:22: multiple definition of
`cache_size'; cat_test.o:<src_dir>/cat_test.c:23: first defined here
The same issue is reported for long_mask, cbm_mask, count_of_bits etc
variables as well. Compiler isn't happy because these variables are
defined globally in two .c files namely cqm_test.c and cat_test.c and
the compiler during compilation finds that the variable is already
defined (multiple definition error).
Taking a closer look at the usage of these variables reveals that these
variables are used only locally in functions such as cqm_resctrl_val()
(defined in cqm_test.c) and cat_perf_miss_val() (defined in cat_test.c).
These variables are not shared between those functions. So, there is no
need for these variables to be global. Hence, fix this issue by making
them static variables.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
