Hi Linus,
After merging Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:
lib/string.c: In function 'strscpy':
lib/string.c:209:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'zero_bytemask'
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
*(unsigned long *)(dest+res) = c & zero_bytemask(data);
^
Caused by commit
30035e45753b ("string: provide strscpy()")
but only exposed by commit
19c22f3a29fa ("word-at-a-time.h: fix some Kbuild files")
BIG_ENDIAN powerpc doesn't have a definition for this function ...
Isn't this why we have linux-next ... to find this stuff early? :-(
Oh, well, I have applied the following (that just copies zero_bytemask
from asm-generic. I have done no testing beyond compiling.
