This didn't compile on sparc64 because `vaddr' is undefined.
Let us see why:
#define clear_user_page(page, vaddr, pg) clear_page(page)
#define copy_user_page(to, from, vaddr, pg) copy_page(to, from)
#define __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage(movableflags, vma, vaddr) \
alloc_page_vma(GFP_HIGHUSER | __GFP_ZERO | movableflags, vma, vaddr)
root cause: lack of argument checking on x86 due to stupid macros.
Could someone *please* start a little project of extirpating this utter
brain damage? Convert those macros to typechecked static inlines on x86
(at least) so this sort of thing (which happens again and again and again)
is lessened?
macros are such miserable things. I wonder if we could get checkpatch to
help out here?
