Hi Dave, Today's linux-next build (sparc64 defconfig) failed like this: kernel/time/tick-common.c: In function `tick_check_new_device': kernel/time/tick-common.c:210: error: invalid lvalue in unary `&' kernel/time/tick-common.c:223: error: invalid lvalue in unary `&' kernel/time/tick-common.c:255: error: invalid lvalue in unary `&' gcc is version 3.4.5 sparc64 cross compiler (powercp64 host). The below patch fixes it. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:07:37 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] cpumask: statement expressions confuse some versions of gcc when you take the address of the result.
