But at present, it seems only 'asm-generic' can play the unlucky role for current issues (at least, it is neither architectures issue nor modules issue). Hmm..., I think maybe also has another way: get rid of 'COMPILE_TEST' (regress the related patch, which is only existent in next-* tree). Or could you provide your suggestions or completions about it ? Thanks. > I'm still confused by what you are trying to accomplish. Currently, I am trying to compile all architectures with allmodconfig in next-* tree (which will have "COMPILE_TEST=y"). So I can find and solve the related issues (I am one of contributors). One of main issues is about it.
