Make ioctl.h compatible with userland

2008-08-12T23:07:31+00:00

The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it
keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian --
but is strangely absent from mainstream.

The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the
target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't
appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early
enough.  Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO...  macros as
constants fails without this patch.

Missing symbol prefix on vmlinux.lds.h

2008-08-01T19:46:41+00:00

ARCH=h8300:

init/main.c:781: undefined reference to `___early_initcall_end'

Same problem have
__start___bug_table
__stop___bug_table
__tracedata_start
__tracedata_end
__per_cpu_start
__per_cpu_end

When defining a symbol in vmlinux.lds, use the VMLINUX_SYMBOL macro.
VMLINUX_SYMBOL adds a prefix charactor.

You can't just use straight symbol names in common header files as they
dont take into consideration weird arch-specific ABI conventions.  in the
case of Blackfin/h8300, the ABI dictates that any C-visible symbols have
an underscore prefixed to them.  Thus all symbols in vmlinux.lds.h need to
be wrapped in VMLINUX_SYMBOL() so that each arch can put hide this magic
in their own files.

tracehook: asm/syscall.h

2008-07-26T19:00:09+00:00

This adds asm-generic/syscall.h, which documents what a real
asm-ARCH/syscall.h file should define.  This is not used yet, but will
provide all the machine-dependent details of examining a user system call
about to begin, in progress, or just ended.

Each arch should add an asm-ARCH/syscall.h that defines all the entry
points documented in asm-generic/syscall.h, as short inlines if possible.
This lets us write new tracing code that understands user system call
registers, without any new arch-specific work.

Better interface for hooking early initcalls

2008-07-26T19:00:04+00:00

Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to
that of regular initcalls.  Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls()
could be converted to use this cleaner interface.

This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register
notifiers before going SMP.  One such CPU hotplug user is the relay
interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a
notifier, to be usable in early code.  This in turn is used by kmemtrace.
