hm. What the heck does that mean?

__EXTERN_INLINE u8 t2_readb(const volatile void __iomem *xaddr)

Something to do with the extern-inline?


Do you have the .config? My alpha builds went OK.

This came up the last time this went into Ingos tree. And yes, it's the
extern inlines using the spinlock functions that causes the error.

> Do you have the .config? My alpha builds went OK.

Last I checked, you need to have:
CONFIG_SMP=N
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=N

The latter gets auto-selected, so I set:
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=N
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=N
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=N
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=N
