Hi Len,

After merging the acpi tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/acpi/debugfs.c: In function 'cm_write':
drivers/acpi/debugfs.c:36: error: implicit declaration of function 'copy_from_user'

Caused by commit c0b82d427637c7598af5d7926187a7781c03bce8 ("ACPI:
introduce drivers/acpi/debugfs.c"), interacting with something that
stopped linux/uaccess.h from being implicitly included.  See Rule 1 in
Documentation/SubmitChecklist.

I have added the following patch for today:
