Hi Christian, After merging the pidfd tree, today's linux-next build (arm multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this: kernel/pid.c: In function '__do_sys_pidfd_open': kernel/pid.c:652:7: error: 'fd' redeclared as different kind of symbol long fd = -EINVAL; ^~ In file included from kernel/pid.c:40: kernel/pid.c:649:46: note: previous definition of 'fd' was here SYSCALL_DEFINE4(pidfd_open, pid_t, pid, int, fd, int, pidfd, ~~~~~^~ include/linux/syscalls.h:117:27: note: in definition of macro '__SC_DECL' #define __SC_DECL(t, a) t a ^ include/linux/syscalls.h:112:35: note: in expansion of macro '__MAP3' #define __MAP4(m,t,a,...) m(t,a), __MAP3(m,__VA_ARGS__) ^~~~~~ include/linux/syscalls.h:115:22: note: in expansion of macro '__MAP4' #define __MAP(n,...) __MAP##n(__VA_ARGS__) ^~~~~ include/linux/syscalls.h:253:36: note: in expansion of macro '__MAP' static inline long __do_sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_DECL,__VA_ARGS__)) ^~~~~ include/linux/syscalls.h:226:2: note: in expansion of macro '__SYSCALL_DEFINEx' __SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, sname, __VA_ARGS__) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/syscalls.h:218:36: note: in expansion of macro 'SYSCALL_DEFINEx' #define SYSCALL_DEFINE4(name, ...)

Please do *not* use linux-next as a development tree (I have seen several different version of this code over the past few days :-(). The rules for linux-next included code include: " * posted to the relevant mailing list, * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree), * successfully unit tested, and * destined for the current or next Linux merge window. Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch)." -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
