In asm-sparc64/processor.h (2.4.18), in thread_struct structure, there
are 3 fields:
u64 *user_cntd0, *user_cntd1;
u64 kernel_cntd0, kernel_cntd1;
u64 pcr_reg;

which are defined without #ifdef __KERNEL__ . I guess, this is a bug,
which needs fixing.

You shouldn't be including such kernel headers from userspace.
