Fix the following build error:

arch/arm/mach-imx/cpu_op-mx51.c:27: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO'

I think having the asm/bug.h replaced with linux/bug.h in linux/kernel.h
would be a better solution.

commit 6f863554 (kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so don't
include it. ), which appears in linux-next, has removed asm/debug.h
from linux/kernel.h.

I should have pointed this commit ID in my commit log.

No, this is not a fix, and it probably makes things worse.

linux/kernel.h _does_ use bug stuff - in ARRAY_SIZE().

ARRAY_SIZE() uses __must_be_array(), which is defined in linux/compiler-gcc.h,
which is obtained via linux/compiler.h and linux/linkage.h.

linux/compiler-gcc.h defines __must_be_array() to be:
#define __must_be_array(a) BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(__same_type((a), &(a)[0]))

and BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO used to be in linux/kernel.h but got moved to
linux/bug.h.

Hence why people are seeing build breakage with ARRAY_SIZE().

The answer is not to start scattering lots of .c files with linux/bug.h
includes, but to fix linux/kernel.h.

This makes sense, thanks.

Will submit a patch for lkml shortly.

Hi Russell,

I understand your concerns, and had I found myself "buggering" lots
of .c files, I would have backed away and said to myself, "OK, this
really isn't going to work - we really can't do this."

But to put some metrics to it, after building for about 10 different
arch and all their defconfigs, I only had to change about twenty[1] of
the approximately sixteen thousand .c files in the kernel.  That is
about 0.125% -- which is one of the things that made me think "Hey, we
can really do this cleanup!"   Including this file, there were only
two .c files in all of arch/arm that were using bug somehow.

So I think having kernel.h not require bug.h is completely do-able.
But in the end, I'm not welded to the idea.  I think it is a win, but
I'm not going to kick up a big stink if Linus or Andrew say they don't
think it is of value, and would rather not rock the boat.

Thanks,
Paul.

I think there's more than that - I've seen two reports for other
files which have needed fixing so far, and I wouldn't be surprised if
there's more.

I guess we'll see in coming weeks how it pans out, but my gut feeling
is that this is going to cause a fair number of build problems.
