Subject: [2.6 patch] unexport phys_proc_id and cpu_core_id
Date: Fri, 6 May 2005 23:19:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050506211913.GO3590@stusta.de> (raw)
Back in January, Andi Kleen added EXPORT_SYMBOL(phys_proc_id), stating:
This is needed for the powernow k8 driver to manage AMD dual core
systems.
This EXPORT_SYMBOL was never used.
I asked him on 13 Mar 2005 whether it's really required, but he didn't
answer to my email.
2.6.12-rc3 adds cpu_core_id with a similarly unused
EXPORT_SYMBOL(cpu_core_id).
It's OK to export symbols when these exports are required, but unless
someone can explain why they are required now, they should be removed
before 2.6.12 and then re-added when they are actually used.
