Subject: missing memset in divas and eicon in 2.2.20
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 00:36:09 +0100 (MET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200201212336.g0LNa9b25643@oboe.it.uc3m.es> (raw)



  betty:/usr/local/src/linux-2.2.20% sudo depmod -ae -F System.map 2.2.20-SMP
  depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
  /lib/modules/2.2.20-SMP/misc/divas.o depmod:         memset
  depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
  /lib/modules/2.2.20-SMP/misc/eicon.o depmod:         memset

Both compiled as modules, SMP kernel, i686 compile.  No, I didn't make a
patch - I was too busy fighting with sct's patch for ext3, which is also
slightly toasted in the deendencies department when compiled as a
module.

I don't know why these are missing memset. Of course memset is in the
kernel and nobody else misses it one bit! Yes, they do include at least
some header that incorporates memset (from linux/strings.h? Or in
asm-i386?), because I tried copying an inline memset.h definition into
their header files, and it produced a typical compiler error ("error
before '?' .." sic) from a memset macro clash. One of the component
sources of divas.o and eicon.o must be missing an #include
<asm/strings.h>.

Your mission is to find and eliminate that missing include.

Good luck.
