I applied this patchset on top of v3.4-rc4 (to get a clean topic branch)
and ran into the following build problems:
i386 "allnoconfig":
/home/hpa/kernel/tip.x86-cpu/arch/x86/kernel/process.c: In function
‘select_idle_routine’:
/home/hpa/kernel/tip.x86-cpu/arch/x86/kernel/process.c:679:30: error:
‘smp_num_siblings’ undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/hpa/kernel/tip.x86-cpu/arch/x86/kernel/process.c:679:30: note:
each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it
appears in
i386 "allyesconfig" and "allmodconfig":
/home/hpa/kernel/tip.x86-cpu/drivers/cpufreq/speedstep-ich.c: In
function ‘speedstep_cpu_init’:
/home/hpa/kernel/tip.x86-cpu/drivers/cpufreq/speedstep-ich.c:337:2:
error: incompatible type for argument 2 of ‘cpumask_copy’
/home/hpa/kernel/tip.x86-cpu/include/linux/cpumask.h:483:20: note:
expected ‘const struct cpumask *’ but argument is of type ‘cpumask_t’
I will try it again against tip:master, but it looks to have the same
problems.
