linux-next: sh build failure

linux-next: sh build failure

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 816 bytes --]

Hi Paul,

Yesterday's linux-next build of sh allmodconfig failed like this:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `disable_all_kprobes':
kernel/kprobes.c:1382: undefined reference to `text_mutex'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__unregister_kprobe_top':
kernel/kprobes.c:773: undefined reference to `text_mutex'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `register_kprobe':
kernel/kprobes.c:724: undefined reference to `text_mutex'

Introduced by commit 4460fdad85becd569f11501ad5b91814814335ff ("tracing,
Text Edit Lock - kprobes architecture independent support") from the
tracing tree.  text_mutex is defined in mm/memory.c which is only built
if CONFIG_MMU is defined, which is not true for sh allmodconfig.

Hrm, so we should move the text_mutex in a obj-y file. It's not clear to
me which of mm/Makefile would be the best choice :

obj-y                   := bootmem.o filemap.o mempool.o oom_kill.o fadvise.o \
                           maccess.o page_alloc.o page-writeback.o pdflush.o \
                           readahead.o swap.o truncate.o vmscan.o shmem.o \
                           prio_tree.o util.o mmzone.o vmstat.o backing-dev.o \
                           page_isolation.o mm_init.o $(mmu-y)

Or maybe we add a new file, or put this in kernel/*.c. Suggestions ?

Mathieu

i already fixed it earlier today via the commit below.

(the commit notification did not go out to the thread because lkml 
was not Cc:-ed.)

Subject: [PATCH] tracing, Text Edit Lock - kprobes architecture independent support, nommu fix

Impact: build fix on SH !CONFIG_MMU

Stephen Rothwell reported this linux-next build failure on the SH
architecture:

  kernel/built-in.o: In function `disable_all_kprobes':
  kernel/kprobes.c:1382: undefined reference to `text_mutex'
  [...]

And observed:

| Introduced by commit 4460fdad85becd569f11501ad5b91814814335ff ("tracing,
| Text Edit Lock - kprobes architecture independent support") from the
| tracing tree.  text_mutex is defined in mm/memory.c which is only built
| if CONFIG_MMU is defined, which is not true for sh allmodconfig.

Move this lock to kernel/extable.c (which is already home to various
kernel text related routines), which file is always built-in.
