kernel/rcutree.c:1740: sorry, unimplemented: called from here
make[1]: *** [kernel/rcutree.o] Error 1

       There is no way ,  thru the 'make *config' methods to
disable this
broken stuff ,  So How may I get past this brokeness ?
       And looking the posts for the 2.6.32-pre/rc the old rcu has
been
trashed completely .  So I am not able to even try using that .

       Would someone please shed some light on this .  I really
need the
updates for the Fusion/mpt driver & the changes in the /md/ tree as
well
.

Hmm, I see the problem, but not sure how to fix it...

Paul, why do we have #include "rcutree_plugin.h" at the bottom
of rcutree.c? This looks strange for me...

How about moving it up? At least just move upper to rcu_init().

Could you please apply commit #dbe01350fa8ce0c11948ab7d6be71a4d901be151
from Linus's git tree? Corresponding diff attached.

Thanx, Paul

Thank you & Americo for responding .

Patch applied & same error as far as I can tell .
did

make mrproper
cp ../old.config .config (same as in previous email)
make oldconfig
( time make V=1 KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 INSTALL_PATH=/boot clean all install
modules_install ) >../linux-2.6.32.1d.log 2>&1
error'd (See below) ...

If there is any further info I can provide or something I can do to
provide , Please request it .

Hmmm.... Yes. Could you please execute the following command from
the top-level directory of your patched kernel source tree?

grep rcu_bootup_announce kernel/rcu*

I would expect the following output:

kernel/rcutree.c: rcu_bootup_announce();
kernel/rcutree.h:static void rcu_bootup_announce(void);
kernel/rcutree_plugin.h:static void __init rcu_bootup_announce(void)
kernel/rcutree_plugin.h:static void __init rcu_bootup_announce(void)

Thanx, Paul

This is with your patch applied on top of linux-2.6.32.1.tar.gz
no other patches or additions .

OK , it looks like I wandered right by the first file ie:
'kernel/rcutree.h' so I need to patch that as well . Doing this by hand as
the offending system is not online and all I have is serial console access
presently .
But , the last two you've changed to 'void __init' instead of just 'void'
.
Do you want me to add those changes to the file 'kernel/rcutree_plugin.h'
as well ?

We were starting from different places. The important thing is to
remove the "inline" declarations.
Ok , That was the very reason for why I asked this question .

# grep rcu_bootup_announce kernel/rcu*
kernel/rcutree.c: rcu_bootup_announce();
kernel/rcutree.h:static inline void rcu_bootup_announce(void);

The above "inline" needs to go as well. (Ah, as you noted above.)
Strange -- this change -was- in the patch I sent.
I also mentioned not seeing the first file in the patch so I had to go back & edit it also .

kernel/rcutree_plugin.h:static void rcu_bootup_announce(void)
kernel/rcutree_plugin.h:static void rcu_bootup_announce(void)

Does removing all three "inline" directives fix your build?

Thanx, Paul
Yes , Removing the 'inline's from all three locations gets me past the rcu error issue . But now I am into errors in the code that I was really interested in getting 2.6.32 for are now error'ng . I'll place those errors onto the list & other authors in another email .

Thank you , for your efforts & the success . JimL
