This fresh upstream commit commit:

  37573e8c7182: memcg: fix init_page_cgroup nid with sparsemem

is causing widespread build failures on latest -git, on x86:

  mm/page_cgroup.c:308:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘node_start_pfn’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  mm/page_cgroup.c:309:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘node_end_pfn’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

On any config that has CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y enabled but 
CONFIG_NUMA disabled.

For now i've worked it around with the patch below, but the real 
solution would be to make the page_cgroup.c code not depend on NUMA.

Thanks,

	Ingo
