Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of Linus' tree
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:44:44 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151008094444.10d9cc68@canb.auug.org.au> (raw)

Hi Linus,

After merging Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

lib/string.c: In function 'strscpy':
lib/string.c:209:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'zero_bytemask' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    *(unsigned long *)(dest+res) = c & zero_bytemask(data);
    ^

Caused by commit

  30035e45753b ("string: provide strscpy()")

but only exposed by commit

  19c22f3a29fa ("word-at-a-time.h: fix some Kbuild files")

BIG_ENDIAN powerpc doesn't have a definition for this function ...

Isn't this why we have linux-next ... to find this stuff early?  :-(

Oh, well, I have applied the following (that just copies zero_bytemask
from asm-generic.  I have done no testing beyond compiling.
