Hi Martin, Starting with next-20080613, the linux-next build (s390 defconfig s390x compiler) has failed with these errors: In file included from /scratch/michael/kisskb-build/src/include/linux/spinlock.h:87, from /scratch/michael/kisskb-build/src/include/linux/smp.h:11, from /scratch/michael/kisskb-build/src/include/linux/kernel_stat.h:4, from /scratch/michael/kisskb-build/src/mm/memory.c:41: include2/asm/spinlock.h: In function '__raw_spin_lock': include2/asm/spinlock.h:69: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_processor_id' There are others as well, but I was concentrating on this. Bisecting leads to commit 2448ad3d8e64a9b58acca34a3d010cfa0be88cc1 which is the merge of the block tree. The block tree contains a commit (37e81b98dba08cce1d8eedb2bdaa58022bf31ee0 "Add generic helpers for arch IPI function calls") that adds an include of linux/spinlock.h to linux/smp.h. (asm-s390/spinlock.h includes linux/smp.h ...) But the block tree itself is OK. So something in the s390 tree is interacting with the above commit to cause the failure. It is not immediately obvious to me what that is. (Or I may have screwed up the bisect :-)) -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
