And of course this is nothing but a printk().

Hmmm...  There are well over 1000 definitions of pr_fmt() in the kernel.
Very popular name there!

I guess I cannot claim to be blindsided by a recent change, at least not
unless you take my age into account.  ;-)

So maybe there is some header file that blackfin wants included?  There
are only about 100 definitions of "mod", so let's see...  Well, none of
them are in blackfin, but perhaps the two in module.h?  But these are just
fields in structs.  As is the one in moduleparam.h.

At this point, the only option I see is to convert srcu_torture_stats_print()
from a static inline function to a macro.

Anyone see any other options?

								Thanx, Paul
