The NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro (and others) were moved to asm-generic/kprobes.h in 2017 by commit7d134b2ce6("kprobes: move kprobe declarations to asm-generic/kprobes.h"), and this new header was included by asm/kprobes.h unconditionally on all architectures. When kprobe support was added to parisc in 2017 by commit8858ac8e9e("parisc: Implement kprobes"), that header was only included when CONFIG_KPROBES was enabled. This can lead to build failures when NOKPROBE_SYMBOL is used, but CONFIG_KPROBES is disabled. This mistake however was never actually noticed because linux/kprobes.h also includes asm-generic/kprobes.h (though I do not understand why that is, because it also includes asm/kprobes.h). To prevent eventual build failures, I suggest to always include asm-generic/kprobes.h on parisc, just like all the other architectures do. This way, including asm/kprobes.h suffices, and nobody (outside of arch/) ever needs to explicitly include asm-generic/kprobes.h.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
