For v5.0-rc1-1-g3bd6e94bec12:
Build results:
total: 158 pass: 155 fail: 3
Failed builds:
csky:defconfig
csky:allnoconfig
csky:tinyconfig
Qemu test results:
total: 332 pass: 332 fail: 0
mm/memory.c: In function ‘__pte_alloc’:
mm/memory.c:406:18: error: too few arguments to function ‘pte_alloc_one’
mm/memory.c: In function ‘__pte_alloc_kernel’:
mm/memory.c:439:15: error: too few arguments to function ‘pte_alloc_one_kernel’
mm/memory.c: In function ‘do_fault_around’:
mm/memory.c:3363:23: error: too few arguments to function ‘pte_alloc_one’
Bisect points to commit 4cf58924951ef ("mm: treewide: remove unused address
argument from pte_alloc functions"). Interesting - wasn't that supposed
to be automatic ?
csky does use the the removed address argument, so I won't even try to
provide a patch. Copying csky maintainer instead.
