Hi Benjamin,
After merging the aio tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc44x_defconfig) failed like this:
fs/built-in.o: In function `aio_thread_op_foo_at':
aio.c:(.text+0x4dab4): undefined reference to `__get_user_bad'
aio.c:(.text+0x4daec): undefined reference to `__get_user_bad'
Caused by commit
150a0b4905f1 ("aio: add support for async openat()")
despite commit
d2f7a973e11e ("aio: don't use __get_user() for 64 bit values")
This is due to a bug in the powerpc __get_user_check() macro (the return
value is defined to be "unsigned long" which is only 32 bits on a 32
bit platform).m68k allmodconfig and all defs of m32r fails while building next-20160315. regards sudip
