Package: src:linux Version: 3.16.7-ckt9-2 Severity: normal In looking into the cause of a recent build failure in the lttng-modules-dkms package, I noticed that an incompatible ABI change was made at some point. The kmem.h header differs from the upstream 3.16.7 version. Specifically, the signature for 'trace_mm_page_alloc_extfrag'.
This is fine, if we could have a way to distinguish between upstream 3.16.7 and our version. It appears that Ubuntu kernels introduce a UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI into their kernels, which can be used to follow their own kernel versions. Could we perhaps do the same? Without the ability to do conditionals comparing numeric values both in Makefiles and within C, I am not sure how tell the two different kernels apart, and therefore am rather stuck. -- Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
