Description of problem: Wade reported a compile error of el6 kernel on Fedora arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64.h:98:20: warning: conflicting types for ‘native_pmd_clear’ [enabled by default] arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64.h:98:20: error: static declaration of ‘native_pmd_clear’ follows non-static declaration arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64.h:87:2: note: previous implicit declaration of ‘native_pmd_clear’ was here which is caused by the following commit: commit 27473d67d4d15abf02179c99d9e02ef72e0c478a Author: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange> Date: Mon Feb 1 15:17:11 2010 -0500 [mm] add pmd mangling functions to x86 This is due to, +#ifdef CONFIG_SMP + return native_make_pmd(xchg(&xp->pmd, 0)); +#else + /* native_local_pmdp_get_and_clear, + but duplicated because of cyclic dependency */ + pmd_t ret = *xp; + native_pmd_clear(NULL, 0, xp); <============= This line + return ret; +#endif while the prototype of native_pmd_clear() is static inline void native_pmd_clear(pmd_t *pmd) Additional info: Since we don't support modified .config, this problem is not serious.
