A get_user() on a u64 on i386 expands to #define __get_user_8(__ret_gu, __val_gu, ptr) \ __get_user_x(X, __ret_gu, __val_gu, ptr) which emits a call to __get_user_X(), which doesn't exist. Kludge around it with copy_from_user(). While we're there, teach it how to print size_t's: drivers/acpi/apei/erst-dbg.c: In function 'erst_dbg_read': drivers/acpi/apei/erst-dbg.c:106: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'ssize_t' Cc: Glauber Costa <gcosta@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "H.
