We found these warnings in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c as follows:
warning: symbol 'decrementer_max' was not declared. Should it be 
static?
warning: symbol 'rtc_lock' was not declared. Should it be static?
warning: symbol 'dtl_consumer' was not declared. Should it be static?

Declare 'decrementer_max' in arch/powerpc/include/asm/time.h. And 
include
proper header in which 'rtc_lock' is declared. Move 'dtl_consumer'
definition behind "include <asm/dtl.h>" because 'dtl_consumer' is 
declared
there.

I don't think that's the good place. It has no link to powerpc, it 
is only by chance that it has the same name.

As rtc_lock is defined in powerpc time.c, I think you should 
declare it in powerpc asm/time.h

My first thought was the same as yours. I tried to add declaration 
in powerpc asm/time.h, but got a compiling error:

drivers/rtc/rtc-vr41xx.c:75:24: error: static declaration of 
‘rtc_lock’ follows non-static declaration
 static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(rtc_lock);

In file included from ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/delay.h:7:0,
                 from ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:33,
                 from ./include/linux/io.h:13,
                 from drivers/rtc/rtc-vr41xx.c:11:
./arch/powerpc/include/asm/time.h:25:19: note: previous declaration 
of ‘rtc_lock’ was here
 extern spinlock_t rtc_lock;

There's a conflict. Perhaps I can rename it in 
drivers/rtc/rtc-vr41xx.c.


But I find an existing declaration in linux/mc146818rtc.h and 
there's only one definition for 'rtc_lock' in powerpc.

There's some includes of mc146818rtc.h in powperc. I wonder they 
point to the same thing. But I'm not very sure

because the header's name looks a bit strange.

How about including mc146818rtc.h in powperpc kernel/time.c? May I 
have your opinions please?

As I said, mc146818rtc.h is not related to powerpc, and if it works 
that's just chance, and there is no certainty that it will still work 
in the future.

If you can't find a clean solution, it is better to leave the warning.

OK. I see. Thanks for you relpy. I'll try to find some other better way.


Thanks.
