Yes, you are right about just adding the linux/unaligned/packed_struct.h should
work. However I hit the following errors when I did that:


CC       lockdep.o
In file included from ./uinclude/linux/jhash.h:27:0,
                 from ../../../kernel/locking/lockdep.c:49,
                 from lockdep.c:8:
./uinclude/linux/unaligned/packed_struct.h:7:29: error: conflicting types for
‘__packed’
 struct __una_u32 { u32 x; } __packed;
                             ^
./uinclude/linux/unaligned/packed_struct.h:6:29: note: previous declaration of
‘__packed’ was here
 struct __una_u16 { u16 x; } __packed;
                             ^
./uinclude/linux/unaligned/packed_struct.h:8:29: error: conflicting types for

 struct __una_u64 { u64 x; } __packed;
                             ^
./uinclude/linux/unaligned/packed_struct.h:6:29: note: previous declaration of
‘__packed’ was here
 struct __una_u16 { u16 x; } __packed;
                             ^
which I overlooked and had nothing to do with header dependencies, pardon my
ignorance.

I think gcc on my machine (version 5.3.1 on Fedora 22) throws the above error
which I think can be fixed by adding a define in uinclude/linux/compile.h like
following:

#define __packed       __attribute__((__packed__))

After fixing, I hit following warning:

In file included from ../../../kernel/locking/lockdep.c:49:0,
                 from lockdep.c:8:
./uinclude/linux/jhash.h: In function ‘jhash’:
./uinclude/linux/jhash.h:37:16: warning: implicit declaration of function
‘rol32’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  a -= c;  a ^= rol32(c, 4);  c += b; \

which can be fixed by adding the inline definition of rol32 from kernel's
biopts.h file to uinclude/linux/bitops.h file (which is empty as of now).

I will rework the patch with the fixes and send again.

Thanks,
Vishal
