Heiko, I'm seeing these warnings, and I can reproduce in a local build.
But I have to note that its just one more of an already existing string
of similar failures.

I don't see anything like this on x86, not have I had robot reports for
other architectures. As such, I'm considering this a pre-existing s390
issue.

Please let me know if this is something you want me to look at
nevertheless.

This seems to be an architecture independent problem.
When I enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS I see this on x86 too.

Sorry, to be more precise: I haven't seen anything like this before on s390.
All other occurences are also new and come with EXPORT_SYMBOL statements
within files where context analysis has been enabled.

When enabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS I see this also for x86 builds.

I assume you cannot see this error pattern for s390 builds with
context analysis disabled?

Something about the context analysis makes genksyms fall over, running
it manually on kernel/sched/core.i with '-w' to show warnings reveals
many new "syntax error" instances. I don't see any warnings when using
gendwarfksyms. Maybe it is context_lock_struct, as that is the first
error I see in the list:

  include/linux/spinlock_types_raw.h:14: syntax error

This works:

I guess the genksyms parser just can't deal with some of the syntax
(just like __CHECKER__).

Right. Not to mention that these macros should have no bearing on the
ABI stability for the sake of module versioning so there is no point to
consider them during genksyms (if I understand correctly).

Oh excellent, I'll go stuff it in.
