From: Vinson Lee <vlee@xxxxxxxxxxx> The compilation only looks for linux/magic.h from the default include paths, which does not include the source tree. This results in a build error if linux/magic.h is not available or not installed. For example, this build error occurs on CentOS 5. $ make -C tools/lib/lk V=1 [...] gcc -o debugfs.o -c -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 -Werror -O6 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k -Winit-self -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wno-system-headers -Wold-style-definition -Wpacked -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow -Wstrict-aliasing=3 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wswitch-default -Wswitch-enum -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wformat -fPIC -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 debugfs.c debugfs.c:8:25: error: linux/magic.h: No such file or directory The only symbol from linux/magic.h needed by debugfs.c is DEBUGFS_MAGIC, and that is already defined in debugfs.h. linux/magic.h isn't providing any extra symbols and can unincluded. This is similar to the approach by perf, which has its own magic.h wrapper at tools/perf/util/include/linux/magic.h Signed-off-by: Vinson Lee <vlee@xxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> Cc: Vinson Lee <vlee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1379546200-17028-1-git-send-email-vlee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/lib/lk/debugfs.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/lib/lk/debugfs.c b/tools/lib/lk/debugfs.c index 099e7cd..7c43479 100644 --- a/tools/lib/lk/debugfs.c +++ b/tools/lib/lk/debugfs.c @@ -5,7 +5,6 @@ #include <stdbool.h> #include <sys/vfs.h> #include <sys/mount.h> -#include <linux/magic.h> #include <linux/kernel.h> #include "debugfs.h" -- 1.8.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
