Subject: asm-x86/byteorder.h, CONFIG_X86_BSWAP leaks to userland
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:18:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080721131846.GA28697@aepfle.de> (raw)
What is the purpose of CONFIG_X86_BSWAP in asm-x86/byteorder.h?
An undefined CONFIG_foo defaults to 0 (I think), so bswap is never used.
Is this done on purpose, or can the CONFIG_ foo be moved inside
__KERNEL__ somehow?
Olaf
