Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] init cleanups
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 02:27:48 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1283189270-7274-1-git-send-email-namhyung@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

This patchset tries to cleanup init/initramfs code especially for syscall
invocation which produces many warnings from sparse because of address
space change. This can be done by wrapping each syscall invocation and
doing such conversions in it using kern_sys_call() macro suggested by
Arnd Bergmann.

This patchset depends on my previous patch "init: mark __user address space
on string literals" [1] now contained in -mm tree.

Any comments would be welcomed.

Thanks.

* changes from v2:
  use kern_sys_call() macro only on functions have pointer argument
  config option to use low-level VFS code removed
  apply to all init/*.c not only initramfs code

* changes from v1:
  introduce kern_sys_* wrappers instead of adding __force markups
  config option to use low-level VFS code added
