I'm not too sure what's going on here, but i386 allmodconfig broke.
kernel/resource.c: In function '__request_free_mem_region': kernel/resource.c:1653:28: error: 'PA_SECTION_SHIFT' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'SECTIONS_PGSHIFT'? size = ALIGN(size, 1UL << PA_SECTION_SHIFT);
because in current mainline, allmodconfig produces CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE=n but in current linux-next, allmodconfig produces CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE=y. But CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=n so the build breaks.
Bisection fingers this commit, but reverting it doesn't seem to fix things. Could you take a look please?
I'm seeing this from menuconfig:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for DEVICE_PRIVATE Depends on [n]: ZONE_DEVICE [=n] Selected by [m]: - DRM_NOUVEAU_SVM [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM_NOUVEAU [=m] && MMU [=y] && STAGING [=y] - TEST_HMM [=m] && RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU [=y] && TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE [=y]
`select' rather sucks this way - easy to break dependencies. Quite a number of years ago the Kconfig gurus were saying "avoid", but I don't recall the details.
