As noted in commit d0bdff0db809 ("staging: Fix build issues with new
binder API"), we can add back the choice for 32bit ARM "once a 64bit
__get_user_asm_* implementation is merged." Commit e38361d032f1 ("ARM:
8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte types") has added the
support, so it's time to let ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_32BIT be selectable on
32bit ARM

What do you think? I think this indicates the commit message is unclear. Part of it is that the config is inverted from the description. The patch doesn't enable the 32bit legacy binder ABI on 32bit systems, it just allows the option to be unselected, so that the 64bit ABI will be used on 32bit systems. Conceptually I don't have an objection to the change (though maybe try to rework the commit message), but I don't have anything to actually test it on right now, so I'm hesitant to ack it. thanks -john ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

It might also be good to add some detail as to the motivation for this change?

It would be nice to deprecate the old 32bit ABI, but binder is a real Linux kernel interface now, so we don't break compatibility (at least if it affects anyone - which may be questionable here - not sure there's many upstream 32bit platforms concerned with running legacy Android builds). But just adding the extra option just means there's yet another configuration to test and to keep working. So you may want to articulate the benefits better to make this worth the effort of doing a full transition. thanks -john ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Future versions of Android "might" be changing if they support, or not, all of the different combinations of 32/64 bit apis. So maybe we should wait until a real solid direction with regards to this is published before worrying about dropping anything... thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

What do you think? I think your changelog text is totally wrong, please fix this up properly and resend it if you think it is needed. thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
