I am a high school student familiarizing myself the opensource process as well as the linux kernel. This is my first submission the LTC - interlock mailing list.
My patch is a patch for the file arch/x86/kernel/irq_work.c in the version linux-3.10. When I ran the kernel with Sparse, the error read: arch/x86/kernel/irq_work.c:12: 6 warning: symbol 'arch_irq_work_interrupt' was not declared. Should it be static? To fix this I declared the symbol for 'smp_irq_work_interrupt' in the irq_work.h header file.

I also ran the command "make menuconfig" and changed the kernel version of the kernel so that I could assure the correct kernel was running when I tested it, and it was. Then I test built the kernel. It built and rebooted correctly. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
