  • 4b7775870   Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 types ... Browse Code »

    One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
    different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of
    drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
    'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
    all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.

    Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
    compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have
    the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

  • 88ced0314   [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includes ... Browse Code »

    include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
    are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
    not have this yet.

    This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
    where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
    that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
    any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
    including any of the headers in user space libraries.

  • 8882a4da1   [PATCH] powerpc: Move various ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpc ... Browse Code »

    This patch moves a bunch of files from arch/ppc64 and
    include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into
    arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are:
    abs_addr.h
    compat.h
    lppaca.h
    paca.h
    tce.h
    cpu_setup_power4.S
    ioctl32.c
    firmware.c
    pacaData.c

    The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile
    changes are:
    - #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form
    - trailing whitespace removed
    - comments giving full paths removed
    - pacaData.c renamed paca.c to remove studlyCaps
    - Misplaced { moved in lppaca.h

    Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built
    for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
