This patch seems to break building perf on ppc64. It fails with: + make -j16 -C tools/perf -s V=1 WERROR=0 HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE=1 prefix=/usr all <snip> builtin-kvm.c:25:21: fatal error: asm/svm.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [builtin-kvm.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... And that is indeed because arch/powerpc/include/asm/svm.h doesn't exist (and therefore can't be exported like the first patch for x86 in this series does). You can find full build logs with this patch series applied here: http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=781782 However, without some form of fix for the ../.. includes, perf still fails to build on arches like ARM and powerpc with errors like this: In file included from util/../perf.h:29:0, from util/cache.h:7, from util/quote.c:1: util/../../../arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h:12:29: fatal error: uapi/asm/unistd.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [util/parse-events-test.o] Error 1 Full build logs here: http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=781076 So. Something else might need to be done to fix perf builds for non-x86 arches. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
