Oops, this caused a build error. Thanks for the kernel test bot.

It seems that all code which accessing to the "struct ia64_psr" in asm/ptrace.h
has to be a macro, because "struct ia64_psr" is defined in the asm/processor.h
which includes asm/ptrace.h (for pt_regs?).
If the code is defined as an inline function, the "struct ia64_psr" is evaluated
at that point, and caused build error.

arch/ia64/include/asm/ptrace.h:77:16: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct ia64_psr'

But macro code evaluation is postponed until it is used...

Let me update it.

Thank you,
