As my patches change the oabi epoll definition, I received a report from the kernel test robot about a pre-existing issue with a mismatched __poll_t type. The OABI code was correct when it was initially added in linux-2.16, but a later (also correct) change to the generic __poll_t triggered a type mismatch warning from sparse. As __poll_t is always 32-bit bits wide and otherwise compatible, using this instead of __u32 in the oabi_epoll_event definition is a valid workaround. Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Fixes:8ced390c2b("define __poll_t, annotate constants") Fixes:ee219b946e("uapi: turn __poll_t sparse checks on by default") Fixes:687ad01914("[ARM] 3109/1: old ABI compat: syscall wrappers for ABI impedance matching") Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
