Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (hid tree related)

Hi Jiri,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c: In function 'picolcd_debug_reset_write':
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c:1343: error: implicit declaration of function 'copy_from_user'
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c: In function 'picolcd_debug_eeprom_read':
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c:1407: error: implicit declaration of function 'copy_to_user'

Caused by commit 9bbf2b98ba11d00bd73e3254e15cfe17ccaff6ba ("HID: add
experimental access to PicoLCD device's EEPROM and FLASH"). Using copy_
{to,from}_user requires the include of linux/uaccess.h.

I have reverted that commit for today.

Hmm, on which arch did this bomb out? I wonder why it is building fine for
me.

Anyway, I have added the include, as it is obviously correct(tm), thanks
for reporting it.

PowerPC (see above). It could also be some interaction with another tree
in linux-next.

Hi Jiri, Stephen,

Wondering why x86 (32bit and 64bit) does not need to include the
header but other arches (at least powerpc) need it.

Any idea via which header linux/uaccess.h gets included on x86?
If nobody has checked by the time I get home I will determine that.

Thanks,
Bruno

Here is the include path for x86:
included arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h
from arch/x86/include/asm/sections.h:5,
from arch/x86/include/asm/hw_irq.h:26,
from include/linux/irq.h:233,
from arch/x86/include/asm/hardirq.h:5,
from include/linux/hardirq.h:10,
from include/linux/interrupt.h:12,
from include/linux/usb.h:15,
from drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c:26:

Wondering why there is such a difference for powerpc!

Thanks,
Bruno
