linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

powerpc-linux-ld: unrecognized option '--no-dynamic-linker'

Caused by patch

  "powerpc: add purgatory for kexec_file_load implementation"

I have disabled KEXEC_FILE for now:

Sorry about that. --no-dynamic-linker was added in binutils 2.26.
The patch below fixes the problem.

OK, I will apply that patch instead of disabling CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE

linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1560 bytes --]

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c: In function 'disable_hardlockup_detector':
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c:796:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false);
  ^

Caused by commit 069bb95b9e38 ("watchdog: introduce the
hardlockup_detector_disable() function") interacting with commit
c54b2bf1b5e9 ("powerpc: Add ppc64 hard lockup detector support") from
the powerpc-mpe tree.

I applied the following merge fix patch (hopefully that is all that is
required):
