FYI, there are new compile warnings show up in

commit: 729043e82cdd403a131127254528afea8031ebab [36/40] kdb: Turn KGDB_KDB=n stubs into static inlines
config: cris-allyesconfig

All warnings (together with lots of *old* errors):
As we switched from empty macros to proper type-checking functions, the
new warnings most probably are all OK, but just to be sure...

Which are the new warnings? Do you have old build logs to compare?
I guess these are the new ones:
quoted
quoted
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:2839:4: warning: passing argument 2 of 'kdb_register_repeat' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:2696:5: note: expected 'kdb_func_t' but argument is of type 'struct kdbmsg_t *'
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:2841:4: warning: passing argument 2 of 'kdb_register_repeat' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
They're all OK. Before my patch, kgdb_register_repeat() was an empty
macro. But since we now do proper functions, the new warnings pop up.
Yes.
Also, there's something interesting:
quoted
quoted
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:2696:5: error: redefinition of 'kdb_register_repeat'
include/linux/kdb.h:156:19: note: previous definition of 'kdb_register_repeat' was here
This means that we're trying to build KDB, but kdb.h don't see
CONFIG_KGDB_KDB.

More over, 'make ARCH=cris allyesconfig' producing .config with KGDB=n
and KGDB_KDB=n. And criss doesn't select HAVE_ARCH_KGDB.
 
It's true.
I suspect there are some toolchain issues, or arch/cris/ does something
weird with the build system.
Ah silly me! I'm doing "make M=kernel/debug/kdb" which leads to all
the error/warnings. This can be fixed trivially. :)
Also, "arch/cris/arch-v32/kernel/kgdb.c" -- it seems like it is its own
implementation of KGDB. :-) But it's CONFIG_ETRAX_KGDB...
Doing the regular 'make' triggers these errors:

So, I don't even think KGDB/KDB should be fixed anyhow, since cris doesn't
select HAVE_ARCH_KGDB, thus 'depends on !CRIS' doesn't make sense.
OK. Sorry for the noises!

Thanks,
Fengguang
