Bug#406744: linux-kernel-headers: __always_inline not defined outside __KERNEL__
Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.6.18-6
Severity: important
When including asm/system.h (I need a definition of wmb()), I'm
getting this error:
| In file included from /usr/include/asm/bitops.h:8,
| from /usr/include/linux/bitops.h:9,
| from /usr/include/asm-i486/cpufeature.h:10,
| from /usr/include/asm/cpufeature.h:8,
| from /usr/include/asm-i486/system.h:6,
| from /usr/include/asm/system.h:8,
| from barrier.h:4,
| from blktrace.c:48:
| /usr/include/asm-i486/bitops.h:244: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘int’
line 244 of bitops.h is:
| static __always_inline int constant_test_bit(int nr, const volatile unsigned long *addr)
so the __always_inline doesn't seem to be defined. It's supposed to
be defined in linux/compiler.h, but there it's inside an #ifdef
__KERNEL__, making it unaccessible for user-space.
Simply defining __always_inline to inline before including
asm/system.h makes the error go away.
