[Linux-ia64] Problem while compiling a module

[G\351raud Krawezik]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a device driver on an Itanium, and while including
<linux/module.h>, with the -DMODULE flag, I get the following problem:

/usr/include/linux/module.h:223: parse error before `UTS_RELEASE'

The line itself is:

static const char __module_kernel_version[]
__attribute__((section(".modinfo"))) = 
"kernel_version=" UTS_RELEASE;

Has anybody got a hint to solve this problem? (removing the line is a bad
idea as I'm using UTS_RELEASE...)

Which kernel version are you compiling against? I don't think any of
the released ia64 kernels support modules yet.

I had a similar problem simply compiling the kernel from the latest
redhat distro for ia64.  The problem was a couple of missing underscores
in include/linux/version.h on _module_up -> __module_up and _module_smp ->
__module_smp.

My "revised" version is as follows (sorry, I toasted the orig or I'd
send diffs, although they'd probably be larger.  ;-):

#include <linux/rhconfig.h>
#if defined(__module_up)
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.0-0.8"
#endif
#if defined(__module_smp)
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.0-0.8smp"
#endif
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132096
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
