Hi Joel,
powerpc was just the first build I did, so out is possible that there are other
architectures and/or configs that also do not implicitly include the needed
files.

I'll push the small fix to linux-next and add it to
44df6a7821ed ("sysctl: Move jiffies converters to
kernel/time/jiffies.c") in the sysctl tree.

Hi all,
After merging the sysctl tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:
kernel/sysctl.c:1776:36: error: 'C_A_D' undeclared here (not in a function)
1776 | .data = &C_A_D,
| ^~~~~
Caused by commit
84053cc7ef2f ("ftrace: move sysctl_ftrace_enabled to ftrace.c")
I can't imagine how that happened (though I do note that the whole branch
has been rebased and not tested :-( ).
I have used the sysctl tree from next-20220329 for today.

Sorry about that, indeed I rebased it and only test compiled the
conflicts.

I'll push to 0-day testing before pushing a new iteration.
Trying to prepare to push to Linus.

I have fixed these issues in a new push to sysctl-next just now.
This all goes tested through 0-day with no issues found there.
Sorry for the delay in fixing this.
