Subject: multiple definition of `show_mem'

Hello,

current mainline (v2.6.38-7210-gb81a618) on ARM/mxs has the following

build failure:

quoted

lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
.../linux-2.6/lib/show_mem.c:67: multiple definition of `show_mem'
arch/arm/mm/built-in.o:.../linux-2.6/arch/arm/mm/init.c:82: first
defined here
make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1

I'm seeing the same error for my patches for the new Xilinx ARM
platform.

After reverting these patches the kernel compiles...

cbf978bfb12d7deca97d7333f65eda0381a072de oom: suppress nodes that are

not allowed from meminfo on page

alloc failure
29423e77c06cee7d4e335ef4a7cbd949da978c91 oom: suppress show_mem() for

many nodes in irq context on

page alloc failure ddd588b5dd55f14320379961e47683db4e4c1d90 oom:

suppress nodes that are not allowed

from meminfo on oom kill

No time to boot the kernel, though.

I did the same reverts and the kernel built and booted fine.

Thanks,
John

cheers, MArc
