Clang warns: ../kernel/extable.c:37:52: warning: array comparison always evaluates to a constant [-Wtautological-compare] if (main_extable_sort_needed && __stop___ex_table > __start___ex_table) { ^ 1 warning generated. These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just addresses so there is not a real issue here. Use the COMPARE_SECTIONS macro to silence this warning by casting the linker defined symbols to unsigned long, which keeps the logic the same.
