[RFC PATCH v1 1/9] timer: fix circular header dependency

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2018-09-24 21:58:07
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), posix clocks and timers, the rest, timekeeping, clocksource core, ntp, alarmtimer · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Anna-Maria Behnsen, Frederic Weisbecker, Thomas Gleixner, Linus Torvalds, John Stultz

When switching powerpc to CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, include/sched.h
has to be included in asm/smp.h for the following change, in order
to avoid uncomplete definition of task_struct:

-#define raw_smp_processor_id() (current_thread_info()->cpu)
+#define raw_smp_processor_id() (current->cpu)

But this generates the following compilation error, due to circular
header dependency.

This patch fixes it by including linux/hrtimer.h after linux/sched.h

 Should it be fixed in powerpc instead ? In that case, how ? Any idea ?
