Yes, it's not due to anything in the akpm tree. Tracing stuff blew up. > I just have to leave things broken for today in the hope that someone > figures something out. This does not affect my X86_64 allmodconfig build > or my PowerPC builds (including an allyesconfig build). It fails with sparc64 defconfig but succeeds with sparc64 allmodconfig. Some config-dependent thing. 3.2 is OK, so it's something in -next. It could be that some far-off sparc64 Kconfig change is newly triggering this. I suppose I could get off my ass and actually work out why it broke, but the tracing code is too icky. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
