Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

kernel/time/clocksource.c: In function 'clocksource_watchdog':
kernel/time/clocksource.c:220:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'abs64' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
if (abs64(cs_nsec - wd_nsec) > WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD) {
^

Caused by commit

67dfae0cd72f ("clocksource: Fix abs() usage w/ 64bit values")

>From Linus' tree interacting with commit

e75a4c084376 ("Remove abs64()")

from the akpm tree.

I have applied the following fix patch:
