I reset my build tree to commit 9d67df654092 ("Merge remote-tracking branch 'block/for-next'") and the build failed with: ERROR: ".local_clock" [drivers/vhost/vhost_net.ko] undefined! ERROR: ".local_clock" [drivers/misc/cxl/cxl.ko] undefined! :-( So I did a "make mrproper" and did the build again. That built correctly. Then I reset the tree to commit b087ce990625 ("Merge remote-tracking branch 'input/next'"), did a "make mrproper", "make ppc64_defconfig", "make" and that built correctly. So I fast forwarded back to the block tree merge and did "make ppc64_defconfig" and "make" and that failed with: ERROR: ".blk_queue_write_cache" [drivers/block/virtio_blk.ko] undefined! ERROR: ".blk_queue_write_cache" [drivers/block/ps3disk.ko] undefined! ERROR: ".blk_queue_write_cache" [drivers/block/nbd.ko] undefined! Doing the revert made it build, then doing "reset --hard HEAD^" (i.e. undoing the revert) also kept the build working. These builds all have a separate object directory and are powerpc64le hosted powerpc64be cross builds and use "make -j80". -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell -- 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
