• fab1c2324   Unified UUID/GUID definition ... Browse Code »

  There are many different UUID/GUID definitions in kernel, such as that
  in EFI, many file systems, some drivers, etc. Every kernel components
  need UUID/GUID has its own definition. This patch provides a unified
  definition for UUID/GUID.

  UUID is defined via typedef. This makes that UUID appears more like a
  preliminary type, and makes the data type explicit (comparing with
  implicit "u8 uuid[16]").

  The binary representation of UUID/GUID can be little-endian (used by
  EFI, etc) or big-endian (defined by RFC4122), so both is defined.
