I'm getting the following compile error with CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64=n 
(with -Werror-implicit-function-declaration - otherwise it would be a 
link error):

We really should just get that flag into mainline so that it breaks
for people before they submit patches.  We run into this constantly.


Add -Werror-implicit-function-declaration
This makes builds fail sooner if something is implicitly defined instead
of having to wait half an hour for it to fail at the linking stage.

I've committed the following, which should disable kvm on i486 and below:

This causes the i386 allmodconfig build to fail:

include/linux/uaccess.h: In function 'pagefault_disable':
include/linux/uaccess.h:23: error: implicit declaration of function '__memory_barrier'

I didn't look to see why...

Seems to be doing its job rather effectively.

include/linux/compiler.h ..

/* Optimization barrier */
#ifndef barrier
# define barrier() __memory_barrier()
#endif

We shouldn't be hitting this, because barrier should be getting defined
in the compiler specific headers above..

#if __GNUC__ >= 4
# include <linux/compiler-gcc4.h>
#elif __GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 2
# include <linux/compiler-gcc3.h>
#else
# error Sorry, your compiler is too old/not recognized.
#endif

both of those include linux/compiler-gcc.h, which defines barrier.
How strange.  What compiler version is this?

I have -Werror-implicit-function-declaration in the CFLAGS of my 
testbuilds for ages without ever hitting this.

Perhaps some change in your working tree?
Can you verify this problem with 2.6.22-rc4-mm2?

err, hang on.  I had a different patch in there which hilariously broke
the build all over the place, and dropping that has made your patch
come good.  I'll put it back.

This was all just a cunning trick to make me download and build an -mm
kernel wasn't it ? :-)
