Subject: Re: [PATCH 08/10] Use __kernel_ulong_t in struct msqid64_ds
Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 17:37:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FB599AC.1010807@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4FB597F3.3060909@gmail.com>
It looks like MIPS has a private definition of struct msqid64_ds, as do
most other architectures; the MIPS one is completely broken for user
space usages as it uses CONFIG_* macros:
#if defined(CONFIG_32BIT) && !defined(CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
unsigned long __unused2;
#endif
__kernel_time_t msg_rtime; /* last msgrcv time */
#if defined(CONFIG_32BIT) && defined(CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
unsigned long __unused2;
#endif
It looks like the only users of asm-generic here are:
arch/microblaze/include/asm/msgbuf.h:#include <asm-generic/msgbuf.h>
arch/score/include/asm/msgbuf.h:#include <asm-generic/msgbuf.h>
arch/sh/include/asm/msgbuf.h:#include <asm-generic/msgbuf.h>
arch/x86/include/asm/msgbuf.h:#include <asm-generic/msgbuf.h>
... and unless I'm mistaken, x86 is the only one of those which isn't 32
bits only, which explains the reason it "works"...
