Subject: linux-next: origin tree build failure
Hi Linus,
As expected (reported by David Fries), today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:
In file included from include/linux/tracehook.h:52,
from arch/powerpc/kernel/signal.c:13:
include/linux/security.h: In function 'security_ptrace_traceme':
include/linux/security.h:1760: error: 'parent' undeclared (first use in this function)
Caused by commit 5cd9c58fbe9ec92b45b27e131719af4f2bd9eb40 ("security: Fix
setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()"). The version of this commit
that has been in the linux-next tree from Aug 8 to Aug 15 is correct, so
I have no idea what happened.
More care needed ...
I applied the following patch from David Fries.

The first two submissions this patch had parent for the argument, the third
one has child then parent and fails to compile with SECURITY disabled.
Please apply the following patch.
