I made below change, it passed. My another question is why you need
include "lib/kstrtox.c" into misc.c. Does it make sense if you plan to
use it to replace simple_strtoull() in arch/x86/boot/string.c ?

diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c

 #define BOOT_CTYPE_H
+#define __DISABLE_EXPORTS

 #include "misc.h"
 #include "error.h"
 #include "pgtable.h"

I just tried to include it into boot/string.c, there's no any problem.

Thanks
