Basically, this problem exists whenever timeconst.h is necessary. kernel/Makefile has code to create it in kernel/ and kernel/time.c is the only file that uses it. That code will need to be removed and newly written somewhere so that timeconst.h could be created as include/linux/timeconst.h before any other compilation so that jiffies.h can #include it. I believe it should be akin to how version.h or elfconfig.h is created. Someone with stronger Makefile foo could probably do it quicker than I could. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
