Apologies for the issue.  This is caused by !CONFIG_MMU, I think.

I thought this would be fairly easy to fix by putting these macros under
CONFIG_PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES, however when doing this I could have found
some other issue that violates this rule.. mm/vmstat.c has referenced
HPAGE_PMD_NR even if vmstat_item_print_in_thp() wanted to guard it only
with CONFIG_THP.

/home/peterx/git/linux/mm/vmstat.c: In function 'zoneinfo_show_print':
/home/peterx/git/linux/mm/vmstat.c:1689:42: error: 'HPAGE_PMD_NR' undeclared (first use in this function)

make[4]: *** [/home/peterx/git/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:243: mm/vmstat.o] Error 1

static __always_inline bool vmstat_item_print_in_thp(enum node_stat_item item)
{
        if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE))
                return false;
        ...
}

I think the problem is vmstat_item_print_in_thp() uses IS_ENABLED() however
that won't stop compiler from looking into the "if".. so it'll still try to
find the HPAGE_PMD_NR macro.

It means, I may need to further change vmstat_item_print_in_thp() to make
this work in the clean way.. by properly switching to a #ifdef.

For that I'll need to post a formal patch and add people to review.  I'll
keep you posted.

Side note: thank you for your script, just to mention make.cross has been
moved to kbuild/, and it'll also need kbuild.sh now to work.  So you may
want to fix your test script (and it worked for you because you kept the
old make.cross around), like:

  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/lkp-tests/master/kbuild/make.cross -O ./bin/make.cross
  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/lkp-tests/master/kbuild/kbuild.sh -O ./bin/kbuild.sh

Thanks,
