Linus, Andrew and Ralf,

3.8 doesn't build on MIPS any more.

Please consider this patch ...

Hi,

It looks like commit 816422ad76474fed8052b6f7b905a054d082e59a
(asm-generic, mm: pgtable: consolidate zero page helpers) broke
MIPS/SPARSEMEM build in 3.8-rc1:

The patch below works for me. Could you try?

  fix build

On MIPS if SPARSEMEM is enabled we've got this:

In file included from /home/kas/git/public/linux/arch/mips/include/asm/pgtable.h:552,
                  from include/linux/mm.h:44,
                  from arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.c:14:
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h: In function ‘my_zero_pfn’:
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:466: error: implicit declaration of function ‘page_to_section’
In file included from arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.c:14:

include/linux/mm.h:738: error: conflicting types for ‘page_to_section’
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:466: note: previous implicit declaration of ‘page_to_section’ was here

Due header files inter-dependencies, the only way I see to fix it is
convert my_zero_pfn() for __HAVE_COLOR_ZERO_PAGE to macros.

I arrived (independently) at the identical solution.
