Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (akpm tree
 related)

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig)
failed like this:

kernel/cgroup_task_counter.c: In function 'task_counter_create':
kernel/cgroup_task_counter.c:60:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'ERR_PTR' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
kernel/cgroup_task_counter.c:60:3: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]

Caused by commit 7d8662e11b18 ("cgroups: add a task counter subsystem")
from the akpm tree.

I added the following patch for today:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>

Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: ERR_PTR needs err.h
