asm/ptrace.h:5: included file 'linux/linkage.h' is not exported

[Dan Gilbert]

The latest kernel update 2.6.32-49-server modified /usr/include/asm/ptrace.h to include <linux/linkage.h>. The only problem is <linux/linkage.h> is not installed by linux-libc-dev. Should linkage.h be included? Or can the <linux/linkage.h> include statement be removed?

Steps to reproduce:
Download latest kernel source
cd /usr/src/linux
make headers_check
....
  CHECK include (0 files)
  CHECK include/asm (54 files)
/usr/src/linux-2.6.32/usr/include/asm/ptrace.h:5: included file 'linux/linkage.h' is not exported
make[1]: *** [/usr/src/linux-2.6.32/usr/include/asm/.check] Error 123
make: *** [headers_check] Error 2

Thanks

This change was made by a bot.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This was introduced by commit d4b500d in Lucid.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Currently being discussed upstream:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1306.1/02786.html

[Falk Ziegler (fziegler)]

Are there any ideas how to continue with the bug? Yesterday a new kernel update was published but the bug also exists within it.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-lucid-needed' to 'verification-lucid-done'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

[Falk Ziegler (fziegler)]

From my point of view the bug is fixed with the latest kernel included in lucid-proposed. I did a short test as described in the first post. Also I could build an package in a local chroot environment which previously failed to build due to the error.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 2.6.32-51.113
