Description Martin von Gagern 2011-05-29 13:03:11 UTC 
app-misc/lirc-0.8.7 won't compile against sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.39:

lirc-0.8.7/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.c:45:28:
  fatal error: linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[5]: *** [lirc-0.8.7/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.o] Error 1

The removal of said file corresponds to the removal of the big kernel lock:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=4ba8216cd90560bc402f52076f64d8546e8aefcb

See also bug #369095 dealing with the removal of that header in svgalib_helper.
In contrast to that package, lirc appears to actually call lock_kernel if CONFIG_COMPAT is set, e.g. on amd64 kernel supporting IA32 code.
Comment 1 Martin von Gagern 2011-05-29 13:14:49 UTC 
For the record: this is with USE=lirc_devices_hauppauge
Comment 2 Eric 2011-05-30 05:01:31 UTC 
confirmed too!
Comment 3 Dmitry Samersoff 2011-05-31 08:24:22 UTC 
confirmed, USE: -transmitter lirc_devices_mceusb
Comment 4 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-01 05:31:22 UTC 
Looks like a version bump to 0.9.0 is needed for recent kernels

http://www.lirc.org/faq.html

"From 2.6.36 on all LIRC kernel drivers are already included in the kernel. There has been a slight interface change in the LIRC ioctls that will affect 64-bit kernels. For recent kernels please only use 0.9.0 which is compatible with the in-kernel drivers."
Comment 5 Dmitry Samersoff 2011-06-01 07:33:20 UTC 
Lirc 0.9.0 compiles and works fine. 
Here is overlay https://github.com/kormoc/Ebuilds

So this BUG could be closed as duplicate of 368721
Comment 6 jannis 2011-06-11 17:39:13 UTC 
No, this error exists for multiple drivers:
/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.9.0/work/lirc-0.9.0/drivers/lirc_atiusb/lirc_atiusb.c:51:28: schwerwiegender Fehler: linux/smp_lock.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Comment 7 Raphaël Droz 2011-07-23 12:02:15 UTC 
0) still the case with lirc-0.9.0
1) it's not a duplicate of #368721, lirc-0.9.0 +atiusb does not compile with 2.6.39 or 3.0
2) mceusb is no more a valid LIRC_DEVICES value (in-kernel)
3) the following patch:
http://gentoo-overlays.zugaina.org/amielke-overlay/portage/app-misc/lirc/files/lirc-0.9.0-kernel-2.6.39-atiusb-fix.diff
fixes the issue with atiusb but probably others too.

I can confirm this bug, prevents me from compiling lirc for some time now with flags:
X kernel_linux lirc_devices_all
