# linux-next: build failure after merge of the aio tree - Subsystems: LINUX FOR POWERPC (32-BIT AND 64-BIT), THE REST - Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds - List: linuxppc-dev - 9 messages, 5 authors - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linuxppc-dev/2016/03/4709155/t ## linux-next: build failure after merge of the aio tree - From: Stephen Rothwell \ - Date: 2016-03-15 06:46:59 - Message: https://ratatoskr.run/linuxppc-dev/2016/03/4709155.md ```text 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). I applied the patch below which seems to help (Michael, what do you think?), but given Al's and Christoph's reactions, I am inclined to remove the aio tree from tomorrow and maybe it can be revisited after the merge window.

In case of avr32 signalfd_read() fails. Does your patch help with it as well? P.S.

Arch code should be able to handle 64 bit values in all the get/put_user() variants. We use 64 bit variables all over the place in interfaces to userspace. -ben ```
