Hi Andrew, After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: fs/proc/task_mmu.c: In function 'smaps_pmd': include/linux/compiler.h:363:38: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_505' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG failed _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__) ^ include/linux/compiler.h:346:4: note: in definition of macro '__compiletime_assert' prefix ## suffix(); \ ^ include/linux/compiler.h:363:2: note: in expansion of macro '_compiletime_assert' _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__) ^ include/linux/bug.h:50:37: note: in expansion of macro 'compiletime_assert' #define BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(cond, msg) compiletime_assert(!(cond), msg) ^ include/linux/bug.h:84:21: note: in expansion of macro 'BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG' #define BUILD_BUG() BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(1, "BUILD_BUG failed") ^ include/linux/huge_mm.h:167:27: note: in expansion of macro 'BUILD_BUG' #define HPAGE_PMD_SIZE ({ BUILD_BUG(); 0; }) ^ fs/proc/task_mmu.c:505:39: note: in expansion of macro 'HPAGE_PMD_SIZE' smaps_pte((pte_t *)pmd, addr, addr + HPAGE_PMD_SIZE, walk); ^ Caused by commit b0e08c526179 ("mm/pagewalk: move pmd_trans_huge_lock() from callbacks to common code"). The reference to HPAGE_PMD_SIZE (which contains a BUILD_BUG() when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not defined) used to be protected by a call to pmd_trans_huge_lock() (a static inline function that was contact 0 when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not defined) so gcc did not see the reference and the BUG_ON. That protection has been removed ... I have reverted that commit and commit 2dc554765dd1 ("mm-pagewalk-move-pmd_trans_huge_lock-from-callbacks-to-common-code-checkpatch-fixes") that depend on it for today. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au
