Yeah, this:

security/smack/smack_lsm.c: In function 'smack_bprm_set_creds':
security/smack/smack_lsm.c:473:21: error: 'PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID' undeclared (first use in this function)

Caused by commit 84088ba23929 ("Smack: domain transition protections
(v3)"). PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID is defined in linux/personality.h which is not
directly included by the above file.

It appears to have been fixed in the current version of the tree by this:

	Smack: compilation fix
