I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my
PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor:
AS arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef]
This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c14be ("kbuild: prevent
lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an
error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was
created. That was with commit 9994a33865f4 ("powerpc: Introduce
entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S").
The offending line does not make a lot of sense. This error does not
seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending
that it be applied to any stable versions.
Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.
Fixes: 9994a33865f4 ("powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
