Hi Al, After merging the vfs tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: In file included from arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:41:0: arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu.h:245:43: error: 'struct coredump_params' declared inside parameter list [-Werror] int (*coredump_extra_notes_write)(struct coredump_params *cprm); ^ arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu.h:245:43: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want [-Werror] Caused by commit 27e58d7e7e6d ("[needs split] switch to saner coredump primitives"). Presumably, arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu.h needs to include linux/binfmts.h or just forward declare "struct coredump_params". I have used the vfs tree from next-20130621 for today -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au
