The common error fount in forward-ported/backported patches is missing headers.
One recent example (files and function names are mangled):
void foo(){}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
gave only warning
foo.c:12345678:5: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
[-Wstrict-prototypes]
void foo(){}
^
foo.c:12345679:5: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
[enabled by default]
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
foo.c:12345679:5: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of
'EXORT_SYMBOL' [-Werror=implicit-int]
Now it's a fatal error. Tested on x86_64 allyesconfig.
