Hi Paul, After merging the rcu tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allnoconfig) failed like this: init/main.c: In function 'rest_init': init/main.c:387:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smpboot_thread_init' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] smpboot_thread_init(); ^ Caused by commit c55f6e1f6f69 ("cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known to scheduler"). The declaration in include/linux/cpu.h is protected by CONFIG_SMP, its use is not. I have reverted that commit for today. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au
