[RT] seqlocks: use of PICK_FUNCTION breaks kernel compile when CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME is NOT set

From: Remy Bohmer
Date: Tue Oct 16 2007 - 04:35:42 EST


Hello Daniel and Ingo,

I use 2.6.23-rt1 and the patch of Daniel below which seems to be in
there breaks the compilation of the RT-kernel when CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME
is NOT set.

It breaks in the do_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv) code in the
architecture specific code
where there is a call to: seq = read_seqbegin_irqsave(&xtime_lock, flags);
The PICK_FUNCTION implementation does not return anything, so the
compile breaks here.

I am figuring out how to solve this problem nicely, but I have not
found a nice solution yet. Attached I have put my hack to make it
compile on ARM again, but maybe one of you can do a better proposal to
fix this.

Here is a list of files that will probably all fail to build: (I only
tested ARM)

Kind Regards,

This patch is hack that makes the RT-kernel compile again when
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME is NOT set. Probably every architecture
has the same problem because the read_seqbegin_irqsave() macro
has been changed to something not returning anything.
