Hi Andrew, After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allnoconfig) failed like this: /home/sfr/next/next/arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_32.c:176:21: error: redefinition of 'alloc_stack' static void *__init alloc_stack(void) ^~~~~~~~~~~ /home/sfr/next/next/arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_32.c:165:21: note: previous definition of 'alloc_stack' was here static void *__init alloc_stack(void) ^~~~~~~~~~~ Caused by patch "powerpc: use memblock functions returning virtual address" from the akpm tree interacting with commit c8e409a33cf8 ("powerpc/irq: use memblock functions returning virtual address") from the powerpc tree. Both patches added the alloc_stack() function and git resolved it by adding both. :-( I have added a patch to remove one of them. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
