Looks like the kdbus example never worked for the affected architectures.
I don't build allmodconfig for all architectures, so other architectures
may be affected as well.
You need 3.17 kernel headers to have memfd_create, not much the kdbus
test code can do about that. You might want to update the kernel
headers for these build boxes.
Or have we not hooked up memfd for alpha and mips?
alpha has no definition for __NR_memfd_create and doesn't use
asm-generic/unistd.h.
mips has a definition for __NR_memfd_create if _MIPS_SIM ==
_MIPS_SIM_ABI32, _MIPS_SIM_ABI64 or _MIPS_SIM_NABI32 (is there any
other alternative?).
Guess you are saying that those examples won't build even with a
newer toolchain. Good that I already decided not to re-build my
toolchains ;-).
Now I am left with the question if the samples build should be
masked for alpha and mips, or if I should drop building samples
from my 'allmodconfig' builds. I think I'll do the latter;
there seems to be an expectation that samples are built with
a recent toolchain, and I can not keep rebuilding toolchains for
the rest of my life.
