It's bisected down to upstream commit b87fc3e6e2e ("Merge tag 'staging-3.8-rc3' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging). However
it's possibly a wrong bisect because there are other build errors in
the parent commits and they may hide these errors.

Thanks,

As you are getting errors when building Documentation files, I don't
think this is a staging tree specific issue, as I haven't changed
anything in that directory that I can see.

So it's probably something else.

It's not a Documentation build, even though many of the errors are
related to Documentation/*.

Here is another build. This time the errors are triggered from
samples/hidraw/hid-example.c.

Add CC to hidraw authors and David who is very good at the header stuffs.

Thanks,

What tree is that?

It builds fine for me here on current Linus' tree:

It's linux-next.

Yeah, however it fails in ARCH=sparc allyesconfig builds.

It's not a problem specific to samples/hidraw/. It does serve as a
good example. :)

This turned out to be something fundamental in types.h.
My fix is appended.

I will do a proper submission to davem later as part of
a few other trivial fixes.

Subject: [PATCH] sparc: use asm-generic version of types.h

This fixes build errors in samples/

We failed to include the header file that define __u16 because __sparc__
was not defined.
This check is not required - and removing this made us
compatible with the generic types.h version. So use that.
