Hi,

Any ideas why I get this error?

In file included from /usr/include/asm/spinlock.h:69,
-----
-----
/usr/include/asm/current.h:4: global register variable follows a function definition

/usr/include/asm/current.h:4: warning: call-clobbered register used for global register variable

My code compiles fine if I remove the
register part of the definition for current.
i.e.: struct task_struct *current __asm__("$8");
in /usr/include/asm/current.h

best regards
