Subject: [PATCH] kernel/bounds: avoid circular dependencies in generated headers
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:47:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384764447-17832-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)

<linux/spinlock.h> has havy dependencies on other header files.
It triggers circular dependencies in generated headers on IA64, at
least:

  CC      kernel/bounds.s
In file included from /home/space/kas/git/public/linux/arch/ia64/include/asm/thread_info.h:9:0,
                 from include/linux/thread_info.h:54,
                 from include/asm-generic/preempt.h:4,
                 from arch/ia64/include/generated/asm/preempt.h:1,
                 from include/linux/preempt.h:18,
                 from include/linux/spinlock.h:50,
                 from kernel/bounds.c:14:
/home/space/kas/git/public/linux/arch/ia64/include/asm/asm-offsets.h:1:35: fatal error: generated/asm-offsets.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Let's replace <linux/spinlock.h> with <linux/spinlock_types.h>, it's
enough to find out size of spinlock_t.
