when using patch-2.6.29.1-rt8 with CONFIG_PREEMPT_SOFTIRQS=y, but not
enable PREEMPT_RT, there will be an error when linking kernel:
undefined reference to hrtimer_wait_for_timer
I found that, hrtimer_wait_for_timer is only defined when PREEMPT_RT is
enabled, but in include/linux/hrtimer.h, the source code is like this:
#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_SOFTIRQS
extern void hrtimer_wait_for_timer(const struct hrtimer *timer);
#else
# define hrtimer_wait_for_timer(timer) do { cpu_relax(); } while (0)
a possible fix should be:
diff --git a/include/linux/hrtimer.h b/include/linux/hrtimer.h
index 8bafa35..1c1cdf3 100644
--- a/include/linux/hrtimer.h
