__up, __down_trylock & __down_interruptible for MIPS

__up, __down_trylock & __down_interruptible for MIPS

[priya.mani]

Hi 

I need to build a driver on the kernel version 2.4.22 on Mips
architecture ( I am using an AMD board). When I try to insmod the driver
it gives unresolved symbols for "__up, __down_trylock &
__down_interruptible". 

I checked in the semaphore.c file under kernel/arch/mips. The above
symbols are neither defined nor exported while they are done for the
semaphore files under other arch like sparc, sh, alpha etc.

If I try to use the functions from the latest CVS files in the mips-org
site it gives other compilation errors.

Please can you tell me how do I go about this problem. Have the above
functions been obsoleted? Is there any patch available for them? Or is
there any doc explaining this? I am using Kernel version 2.4.22.

Can anybody help me out with this please.

Rgds
Priya

This was working in 2.4.22 so it seems you're using a broken tree.  Where
did you get it from?

Hi Ralf

I too doubted that the kernel which I am using is not in proper shape.
Please could you point me to a proper link where I can download it from.
I am in need of a proper working kernel version 2.4.25 or above.

Hope you can lead me to a proper link for this!

Thanks
Priya

http://cvs.linux-mips.org/kernel.html

and check out the 2.4 branch (or mainline if you want 2.6).

Thanks but I did try that and did not find kernel version above 2.3.
Since I am behind a firewall I got speacial access to the
ftp.linux-mips.org and logged into the site to find the linux under pub
which contains only upto kernel version 2.3. Am I going the wrong path?

If you want access to the current Linux/MIPS tree, you have to convince your
management to allow CVS access to cvs.linux-mips.org.
