Please use checkpatch and then common sense to check your patches before sending. All those below are valid, AFAICT: WARNING: function definition argument 'struct pt_regs *' should also have an identifier name #76: FILE: arch/x86/include/asm/traps.h:81: +dotraplinkage void do_control_protection(struct pt_regs *, long); WARNING: function definition argument 'long' should also have an identifier name #76: FILE: arch/x86/include/asm/traps.h:81: +dotraplinkage void do_control_protection(struct pt_regs *, long); WARNING: static const char * array should probably be static const char * const #124: FILE: arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:581: +static const char *control_protection_err[] = ERROR: that open brace { should be on the previous line #125: FILE: arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:582: +static const char *control_protection_err[] = +{ WARNING: quoted string split across lines #158: FILE: arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:615: + WARN_ONCE(1, "CET is disabled but got control " + "protection fault\n"); WARNING: Prefer printk_ratelimited or pr_<level>_ratelimited to printk_ratelimit #165: FILE: arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:622: + printk_ratelimit()) { WARNING: Avoid logging continuation uses where feasible #176: FILE: arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:633: + pr_cont("\n"); ERROR: "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)" #183: FILE: arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:640: + info.si_addr = (void __user*)uprobe_get_trap_addr(regs); And now that patch doesn't even build anymore because of the siginfo changes which came in during the merge window.
