That file already has an external declaration for cpuinfo_op, and uses it rather unconditionally (that is, if CONFIG_PROC_FS=y) on all architectures. So I think you can just move that to include/linux/processor.h, include the latter everywhere, and drop all architecture-specific copies.

Hey Geert, This is the sort of thing I was really hoping to hear, so fine by me.. When you say "everywhere", I assume you mean in every arch and not just the ones listed here that already have it in an arch specific header? Thanks, Conor.

Yes, above every user, to silence the sparse "foo was not declared. Should it be static?" warnings. Thanks!

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> RISC-V is missing a prototype for cpuinfo_op. Rather than adding yet another `extern const struct seq_operations cpuinfo_op;` to an arch specific header file, create an asm-generic variant and migrate the existing arch variants there too. Obv. there are other archs that use cpuinfo_op but don't declare it and surely also have the same warning? I went for the minimum change here, but would be perfectly happy to extend the change to all archs if this change is worthwhile. Or just make a header in arch/riscv, any of the three work for me! If this isn't the approach I should've gone for, any direction would be great :) I tried pushing this last weekend to get LKP to test it but I got neither a build success nor a build failure email from it, so I figured I may as well just send the patches.. I wasn't too sure if this could be a single patch, so I split it out into a patch fixing the issue on RISC-V & copy-paste patches for each arch that I moved. Thanks, Conor.
