Hi Steven, After merging the ftrace tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allnoconfig) failed like this: In file included from include/asm-generic/percpu.h:6:0, from arch/powerpc/include/asm/percpu.h:19, from include/linux/percpu.h:11, from include/linux/sched.h:41, from arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:17: include/linux/percpu.h:138:17: error: 'printk_func_t' undeclared here (not in a function) DECLARE_PER_CPU(printk_func_t, printk_func); ^ include/linux/percpu-defs.h:101:38: note: in definition of macro 'DECLARE_PER_CPU_SECTION' extern __PCPU_ATTRS(sec) __typeof__(type) name ^ include/linux/percpu.h:138:1: note: in expansion of macro 'DECLARE_PER_CPU' DECLARE_PER_CPU(printk_func_t, printk_func); ^ Caused by commit afdc34a3d3b8 ("printk: Add per_cpu printk func to allow printk to be diverted"). See Rule 1 in Documentation/SubmitChecklist. I reverted that commit (and the following one (a9edc8809328 "x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs" in case it depended in it) for today. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au
