[Xenomai-core] Xenomai broken on Linux 2.4

[Xenomai-core] Xenomai broken on Linux 2.4

[Wolfgang Grandegger]

Hi Philippe,

I just realized that recent changes in ksrc/arch/powerpc/switch.S have 
broken the build of Xenomai with linuxppc_2_4_devel on PPC:

  #include <asm/offsets.h> does not exist
  Symbols like SAVE_NVGPRS do not exist

For the time being, I will stick with an older version for testing RTnet 
(where I'm currently debugging "floating point used in kernel" errors on 
the MPC8260),

Thanks.

Wolfgang.

Ok, thanks for the info. I'm going to fix and check the 2.4/ppc port today.

2.6/ppc build fails in the same way. Correcting it to <linux/asm- 
offsets.h> fixes fixes it.

Forgot that pre-2.6.14 versions include asm/offsets.h, while post- ones now 
include asm/asm-offsets. Ok, will fix. Thanks.

Thanks. Attached is a little patch fixing a build problem with Linux 
2.6.14 for PowerPC (ocotea, AMCC 440GX). But I'm not sure when exactly 
the change happened.

Looks like specific to 2.6.14-DENX (kernel.org shows the additional "parent" 
parameter only starting with 2.6.15).
http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-2.6-denx.git;a=blobdiff;h=a9e72ac3fb9fd066ebc5607bd28cfdd4ba8f010e;hp=95d607a48f06edd22c6be64e0feaf74d1aa63467;hb=3692e2d8099f19a4d1ff95df94cc82b394f86931;f=include/linux/device.h

We likely need to find a way to specifically identify this tree.

Well, our 2.6 tree is based on the offical 2.6 tree. Don't know where 
the difference come from. Maybe Wolfgang can help (he is now on CC).

I'm subscribed, too.

We added some patches (especially 4xx network driver related) to  our
tree long before they were accepted and merged into Linus' tree.

Does this answer the question? [Or what exactly is the problem?]

We try to find a way to wrap class_device_create properly depending on the kernel 
version Xeno is compiled against. The parent device class argument in this call 
(2nd in order) seems to show up in 2.6.15 for kernel.org, but 2.6.14-denx-git has 
it too. So we have a problem relying on the version sublevel.

I see. Well, I feel honored, but the reference in such  cases  should
always be Linus' tree (i. e. the "official" kernel.org tree). Xenomai
cannot  and  should  not  have  to be considerate of all the N vendor
kernel trees that exist out there in the wild...

And if some user should use our old 2.6.14 tree and run into problems
we can just tell him to use  current  code  -  so  no  problem  here,
either.

Please use kernel.org as reference (and  remember  that  decision  in
case other vendors should come urging you).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Philippe, for some (yet) unknown reasons the trees are not in sync but 
they should in respect to include/linux/device.h. Well, lets simply 
ignore this problem for Xenomai.

Thanks.
