+Subject: tracing/mm: Move include of trace/events/kmem.h out of header into
+ slab.c
+
+commit 4dee6b64ee7cfef94b47733c6d9fef07f8051c7c upstream.
+
+Including trace/events/*.h TRACE_EVENT() macro headers in other headers
+can cause strange side effects if another trace/event/*.h header
+includes that header.  Having trace/events/kmem.h inside slab_def.h
+caused a compile error in sparc64 when changes were done to some header
+files.  Moving the kmem.h trace header out of slab.h and into slab.c
+fixes the problem.
+
+Note, both slub.c and slob.c already include the trace/events/kmem.h
+file. Only slab.c had it missing.
