These are your foulups, not mine! At least I suppose so.

You can find it anywhere. It's a standard kernel. global_cli is in the
kernel. You couldn't possibly have compiled the module unless that were
so! The type-checker would have made a big noise.

  barney:/usr/oboe/ptb/lang/c/nbd/nbd-2.4.16% grep _cli /proc/ksyms
  c010c264 __global_cli
 
  barney:/usr/oboe/ptb/lang/c/nbd/nbd-2.4.16% uname -a

Mind you, that's an SMP kernel. Are you by any chance compiling an SMP
module and trying to install it in a non-SMP kernel?

In asm/system.h:


#ifdef __SMP__
extern void __global_cli(void);
extern void __global_sti(void);
extern unsigned long __global_save_flags(void);
extern void __global_restore_flags(unsigned long);
#define cli() __global_cli()
#define sti() __global_sti()
#define save_flags(x) ((x)=__global_save_flags())
#define restore_flags(x) __global_restore_flags(x)
#else
#define cli() __cli()
#define sti() __sti()
#define save_flags(x) __save_flags(x)
#define restore_flags(x) __restore_flags(x)
#endif
