The error variable breaks build on CentOS 6.7, due to collision with global error symbol: CC util/evlist.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors In file included from util/evlist.c:28: tools/include/linux/err.h: In function ‘ERR_PTR’: tools/include/linux/err.h:34: error: declaration of ‘error’ shadows a global declaration util/util.h:135: error: shadowed declaration is here Using 'error_' name instead to fix it.

/*
|
|
* Original kernel header comment:
|
|
*
|
|
* Kernel pointers have redundant information, so we can use a
|
|
* scheme where we can return either an error code or a normal
|
|
* pointer with the same return value.
|
|
*
|
|
* This should be a per-architecture thing, to allow different
|
|
* error and pointer decisions.
|
|
*
|
|
* Userspace note:
|
|
* The same principle works for userspace, because 'error' pointers
|
|
* fall down to the unused hole far from user space, as described
|
|
* in Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt for x86_64 arch:
|
|
*
|
|
* 0000000000000000 - 00007fffffffffff (=47 bits) user space, different per mm hole caused by [48:63] sign extension
|
|
* ffffffffffe00000 - ffffffffffffffff (=2 MB) unused hole
|
|
*
|
|
* It should be the same case for other architectures, because
|
|
* this code is used in generic kernel code.
