OK I got the root cause: the error
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c:101:24: fatal error: asm/serial.h: No such file or directory
is first detected in tree/branch
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/horms/renesas.git topic/r8a73a4
where 8250 is enabled on "make ARCH=s390 allmodconfig":
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI=m
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=4
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DETECT_IRQ=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA=y
The build script then start bisecting command
make ARCH=s390 drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.o
and goes all the way down to commit 9bef3d41973 ("serial: group all
the 8250 related code together"), not being aware of the
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 was disabled in earlier kernels.
Thanks,
Fengguang
