Ok. Your config should have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG defined,
and my config does not have that defined.

we have linux/kernel.h
                linux/printk.h
                linux/dynamic_debug.h

dynamic_debug.h will include linux/string.h when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
is not defined.

Hi, Andrew,

How to fix this inconsistency caused by dynamic_debug.h

1. let linux/kernel.h include string.h directly
2. or let dynamic_debug include string.h always
3. let printk.h include string.h.
