Turns out there's actually a circular dependency here. SIZE_MAX is
defined in linux/kernel.h. So, string.h would need to include
kernel.h. But kernel.h, by way of several other headers, includes
string.h.
Attempting to include kernel.h in string.h then leads to something like this:
CHK include/config/kernel.release
CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
CC scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s
CHK include/generated/timeconst.h
In file included from include/linux/printk.h:289:0,
from include/linux/kernel.h:13,
from include/linux/string.h:11,
from include/uapi/linux/uuid.h:21,
from include/linux/uuid.h:19,
from include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:12,
from scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c:2:
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h: In function ‘ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb’:
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h:122:2: error: implicit declaration of
function ‘strstr’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
if (strstr(param, "dyndbg")) {
^
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h:122:6: warning: incompatible implicit
declaration of built-in function ‘strstr’ [enabled by default]
if (strstr(param, "dyndbg")) {
^
Since kernel.h is referencing string.h (which is needed, but not
included a second time due to the include guards), this leads to
undeclared string functions, because we are still in the early stages
of including string.h itself and haven't gotten to the function
declarations yet.
