08:51 < miltonm> svenl: ok well it is still in the include/ppc diretory ... if
(s)he is trying to build a seperate modules against ARCH=ppc then there were
some issues with that directory ... otherwise i wouuld look
at which headers include that file and then look at those in
include/asm-powerpc
08:56 < svenl> miltonm: he is trying to build with ARCH=powerpc.
08:56 < svenl> miltonm: as supposedly 2.6.16-rc* now defaults to ARCH=powerpc.
08:59 < miltonm> svenl yes it does .... i don't have a tree handy, but i would
guess asm/highmem.h should be indirectly included by some other mm header, and
that was absorbed. hence grep highmem.h include/ssm-p*pc/*.h
09:00 < svenl> miltonm: so you think it should be working ?
09:00 < miltonm> svenl: if its included under powerpc somwhere then it is the
kbuild for ext modules (seperate objdir?) problems
09:00 < svenl> ok.
09:01 < miltonm> svenl: well, it could be no one has built with highmem
defined since the move (since ppc64 has !config_highmem and ben and paul might
hack
2g/2g
09:02 < svenl> miltonm: that is also my guess.
09:02 < svenl> since most of you guys build with ppc64 those days :)
09:02 < miltonm> svenl: well they also build for their laptops but like i
said, maybe 2g/2g
09:03 < miltonm> svenl: or 32 bit grabs the old headers via
arch/powerpc/include symlink ??
09:04 < miltonm> like i said i don't have a src tree here , laptop is
elsewhere.
09:04 < svenl> miltonm: oh, there is still such a trick, i thought it would
die for arch/powerpc.
09:04 < svenl> hehe.
09:04 < miltonm> well, yea, that link should die, and i forget which way it
went.
09:05 < miltonm> svenl maybe linux/highmem.h vs asm/highmem.h ? or like you
said, no one tested highmem
09:05 < svenl> miltonm: there was a link from arch/ppc/include to the powerpc
stuff, i didn't know of a link the other way around.
09:05 * miltonm should stop speculating
09:05 < svenl> miltonm: i will be offline next week, will ask _rene_ to
investigate and eventually come here.
09:05 < svenl> ok ?
09:06 < miltonm> yea probably right ... is there anohter file that defines
those functions under include/asm-powerpc?
Rene, hope this helps, can you investigate and comment on this bug report.
Bastian i will be offline or mostly so until fosdem, can you fix this if it
ends up being a linux-2.6 header packaging bug ?
Friendly,
Sven Luther
