More uml build failures on 2.16.19-rc3 and 2.6.18.1

More uml build failures on 2.16.19-rc3 and 2.6.18.1

[Mitch]

I'm still having build failures on 2.6.18.1 and even the latest -rc3

Anyone ?

Did you remember to do make mrproper? If yes, can we have your .config, please.

Works for me. Perhaps the UML people can figure out what's going on.

The last time I saw this, someone had replaced the glibc kernel
headers with a link to include/ within a kernel pool.  There, offsetof
is wrapped in #ifdef __KERNEL__, and inaccessible to userspace.

The glibc headers have a usable offsetof, so fix that, and UML should
build.

I've definetly not done any such change on my machine. Remember with the 
same compile, same environment, if i go back to 2.6.18 i can build uml 
fine. If i move to 2.6.18.1 or above it breaks...

I do notice my gcc stddef does have this defined

% grep offsetof /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux/4.0.3/include/stddef.h
#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) __builtin_offsetof (TYPE, MEMBER)

And i notice my compiler has it inbuilt, so maybe this is a gcc 4.0.3 
issue ?

You're sure about that?  I just looked through the 2.6.18.1 changelog and
I see nothing that would cause this.

I would do a -E build and make sure that this header, or another one that
defines offsetof is getting pulled in.

Hi Jeff, all,

Sorry for the dealy but i've been out of the country.

Anyhow i did some investigation and i've figured out the bug.

Essentially if you try to compile a UML kernel on a 2.6.18.1 or above 
*host* kernel it will fail with the error messages shown (essentially 
offsetof macro undefined) because between 2.6.18 and 2.6.18.1 that macro 
in /usr/include/linux/stddef.h is now wrapped in a #ifdef __KERNEL__ . 
However since UML doesn't build it's sources with that defined we get an 
undefined macro and a build failure.

So i'm partly right and partly wrong in my statement below. Yes i did 
compile a guest UML kernel 2.6.18 fine on host kernel of 2.6.18, and i 
believe i will be able to compile 2.6.18.1 and above also on a host 
kernel of 2.6.18 but if i change my host kernel to 2.6.18.1 or above all 
UML guest builds will fail.

Can someone confirm they can build guest UML kernels on a host kernel >= 
2.6.18.1 ??

Thanks
M

Ok, we have one bug and one mistake on your part:
1) we should include <stddef.h> instead of <linux/stddef.h> in files using 
host headers (I don't have the error message at hand, so please handle this 
yourself, Jeff)
2) /usr/include/{linux,asm} being symlinks inside /usr/src/linux/include is an 
unsupported configuration since ages. #1 is still a valid bug because when a 
distribution will distribute glibc and kernheaders based on 2.6.18.1+/2.6.19 
ones we'll break anyway.
