Hello, With the last CVS, if you check CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the compilation fails : arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2e84): In function `probe_irq_on': : undefined reference to `atomic_lock' arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2e88): In function `probe_irq_on': : undefined reference to `atomic_lock' arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2e90): In function `probe_irq_on': : undefined reference to `atomic_lock' arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2e94): In function `probe_irq_on': : undefined reference to `atomic_lock' arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2ebc): In function `probe_irq_on': : undefined reference to `atomic_lock' arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2ec0): more undefined references to `atomic_lock' follow make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 Some macros in include/asm/atomic.h uses a spinlock called atomic_lock. An "extern" definition is made at the top of the file, but the real spinlock is not defined anywhere. I think this is trivial to fix, but I'm not sure what is the right place to declare the spin lock and to initialize it.
