Bug#406744: linux-kernel-headers: __always_inline not defined outside __KERNEL__
Hi Daniel! You wrote: When including asm/system.h (I need a definition of wmb()), I'm Don't do that. The sanitized kernel headers (make headers_install, in 2.6.19 and later) do not even install asm/system.h. That is a strong sign you shouldn't be using it from userspace. I expect the header will go away in a future Debian version. Hmm, ok, I wasn't aware of that. Could you please add a #warning to that effect in the header? -- Kind regards, ++ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | || Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | ++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm expecting that after etch releases, we'll just be upgrading - it will be a bit traumatic, but it's got to get done :-) -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#406744: linux-kernel-headers: __always_inline not defined outside __KERNEL__
Package: linux-kernel-headers Version: 2.6.18-6 Severity: important When including asm/system.h (I need a definition of wmb()), I'm getting this error: | In file included from /usr/include/asm/bitops.h:8, | from /usr/include/linux/bitops.h:9, | from /usr/include/asm-i486/cpufeature.h:10, | from /usr/include/asm/cpufeature.h:8, | from /usr/include/asm-i486/system.h:6, | from /usr/include/asm/system.h:8, | from barrier.h:4, | from blktrace.c:48: | /usr/include/asm-i486/bitops.h:244: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘int’ line 244 of bitops.h is: | static __always_inline int constant_test_bit(int nr, const volatile unsigned long *addr) so the __always_inline doesn't seem to be defined. It's supposed to be defined in linux/compiler.h, but there it's inside an #ifdef __KERNEL__, making it unaccessible for user-space. Simply defining __always_inline to inline before including asm/system.h makes the error go away. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.2 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information
