Subject: [PATCH] Fix build failure when CONFIG_NLS is set to 'm' by
allmodconfig
Hello,
This patch fixes the build breakage as described in the post
http://marc.info/?l=linux-next&m=129478755528194&w=2 while compiling the
patch - http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=129846468529049&w=2 ([PATCH
V3] Export ACPI _DSM provided firmware instance number and string name
to sysfs).
Hi Al,
If this patch is acceptable, please consider for inclusion.
From: Narendra K <narendra_k@...l.com>
Subject: [PATCH] Fix build failure when CONFIG_NLS is set to 'm' by allmodconfig
This patch fixes the following build breakage introduced by the patch
'[PATCH V3] Export ACPI _DSM provided firmware instance number and string to
sysfs'.
drivers/built-in.o: In function `T.647':
pci-label.c:(.text+0x28514): undefined reference to `utf16s_to_utf8s'
This happens because 'make allmodconfig' sets CONFIG_NLS=m and makes
'utf16s_to_utf8s` unavailable to drivers/pci/pci-label.o which is built
into vmlinux.
This is fixed by making fs/nls/nls_base.c compile conditionally into
vmlinux by introducing a new config option CONFIG_NLS_BASE which is
selected by (ACPI || DMI || NLS).
