Subject: [parisc-linux] review of Documentation/parisc/unwritten
Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2001 03:19:58 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200110060919.DAA06756@puffin.external.hp.com> (raw)
Hi all,
In summary, it looks like unwritten file can be deleted.
Notes from reviewing Documentation/parisc/unwritten are appended.
I'll delete things marked delete unless someone tells me otherwise
by early next week.
Please give feedback on items marked "review?".
It means I didn't know what to do but status quo didn't seem right either.
thanks,
grant
sys_idle ./include/asm-parisc/unistd.h
obsolete - delete usage.
reboot_setup() arch/parisc/kernel/process.c
not used. delete function.
machine_halt BUG. NOP. Should update LEDs/ChassisCode.
machine_power_on obsolete - delete it
arch/parisc/kernel/process.c
exit_thread NOP is ok.
flush_thread review?
arch/parisc/kernel/process.c.
Only needs to handle fpu stuff or perf monitors.
(several arches implement a "lazy fpu state"...interesting)
strlen_user include/asm-parisc/uaccess.h
#define strlen_user(str) lstrnlen_user(str, 0x7fffffffL)
review?
do_check_pgt_cache arch/parisc/mm/init.c
NOP. this seems wrong.
all the other arches have (about) the same thing here.
sparc64 has some CONFIG_SMP in it.
set_pte_phys arch/parisc/mm/init.c
orphaned. delete it.
check_bugs include/asm-parisc/bugs.h
NOP. Check for CPU bugs or misconfigured kernel.
review?
csum_partial_copy
csum_partial_copy_from_user
arch/parisc/lib/checksum.c
We want optimized asm for both of those.
Willy reminded me to pester someone in HP about this.
sigaddset
sigdelset include/linux/signal.h
Only i386 and m68k define __HAVE_ARCH_SIG_BITOPS.
parisc ends up using "generic" code like most other arches.
Is this an issue?
get_cycles include/asm-parisc/timex.h
Defined as "mfctl(16)". Is this ok?
Only used in drivers/drm/ and kernel/sched.c.
