Subject: [PATCH] kernel.h: Include <linux/bug.h> to avoid build breakage with ARRAY_SIZE()
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:41:39 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1330436499-17190-1-git-send-email-fabio.estevam@freescale.com> (raw)

Building imx_v6_v7_defconfig generated the following build error:

arch/arm/mach-imx/cpu_op-mx51.c: In function 'mx51_get_cpu_op':
arch/arm/mach-imx/cpu_op-mx51.c:27: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO'

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

Quoting Russell King (http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg161916.html)

"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()."
