Note: I have applied this because it fixes a regression, but it bugs the living bejeezus out of me that the saner patch:
diff --git a/arch/um/include/asm/arch_hweight.h b/arch/um/include/asm/arch_hweight.h new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c656cf4 --- /dev/null +++ b/arch/um/include/asm/arch_hweight.h @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +#ifndef _ASM_UM_HWEIGHT_H +#define _ASM_UM_HWEIGHT_H + +#include <asm-generic/bitops/arch_hweight.h> + +#endif ... supposedly didn't work. As such, I consider this a temporary kluge until a proper solution is found. From a code-cleanliness perspective, this patch is awful.
