Bug#395288: upgrade of linux-kernel-headers broke #include <asm/system.h> from user-space
Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.6.18-3
Severity: normal
/usr/include/asm/system.h file used to provide access to useful
low-level x86 facilities, such as cmpxchg CPU instruction.
Only add #include <asm/system.h> to program and then use it.
However, this stopped working after recent upgrade of
linux-kernel-headers package:
nikita@blacky:/tmp> cat t.c
#include <asm/system.h>
nikita@blacky:/tmp> gcc -c t.c
