This appears to only happen on the akpm branch, correct? It happens because of e37c64a9751a ("mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB") adds a spurious "#endif" to include/linux/shm.h and gets reverted in master by 359078d82a20 ("Revert "mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB"") because of another build failure that Stephen reports on November 8: mm/mmap.c: In function 'SYSC_mmap_pgoff': mm/mmap.c:1271:15: error: 'MAP_HUGE_SHIFT' undeclared (first use in this function) mm/mmap.c:1271:15: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in mm/mmap.c:1271:33: error: 'MAP_HUGE_MASK' undeclared (first use in this function) I think the best bet would be to merge the following in -mm and then let Stephen revert it in master again if his build error persists for powerpc: mm-support-more-pagesizes-for-map_hugetlb-shm_hugetlb-v7-fix-fix-fix Fix the build: include/linux/shm.h:57:20: error: redefinition of 'do_shmat' include/linux/shm.h:57:20: note: previous definition of 'do_shmat' was here include/linux/shm.h:63:19: error: redefinition of 'is_file_shm_hugepages' include/linux/shm.h:63:19: note: previous definition of 'is_file_shm_hugepages' was here include/linux/shm.h:67:20: error: redefinition of 'exit_shm' include/linux/shm.h:67:20: note: previous definition of 'exit_shm' was here Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/shm.h | 4 ---- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/shm.h b/include/linux/shm.h --- a/include/linux/shm.h +++ b/include/linux/shm.h @@ -23,8 +23,6 @@ struct shmid_kernel /* private to the kernel */ struct task_struct *shm_creator; }; -#endif - /* shm_mode upper byte flags */ #define SHM_DEST 01000 /* segment will be destroyed on last detach */ #define SHM_LOCKED 02000 /* segment will not be swapped */ @@ -46,8 +44,6 @@ struct shmid_kernel /* private to the kernel */ #define SHM_HUGE_2MB (21 << SHM_HUGE_SHIFT) #define SHM_HUGE_1GB (30 << SHM_HUGE_SHIFT) -#ifdef __KERNEL__ - #ifdef CONFIG_SYSVIPC long do_shmat(int shmid, char __user *shmaddr, int shmflg, unsigned long *addr, unsigned long shmlba); -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
