Subject: [GIT PULL] new files form asm-generic
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:46:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200906112146.32441.arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
Hi Linus,
This is a series of patches that adds a mostly-complete set of generic
header files in the include/asm-generic hierarchy.
Please pull
git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic.git for-linus
None of these patches should impact currently executed code in
any way, but there are four goals here:
1 Give architecture maintainers a set of generic header files that they
can work with to reduce code duplication. I currently have three series
of patches doing this, one for each of x86, power and microblaze. The
plan is to get those integrated through the arch maintainers in the
2.6.32 merge window. The amount of code added here will be more than
made up if two architectures drop their duplicate files later.
2 Allow the merging of the score architecture. Based on my feedback, this
has migrated to using most of the header files from this series, so
it has become a dependency. I'd like to get my code in as early as
possible in this merge window to give them a chance to rebase on the
mainline tree for merging.
3 Give the microblaze architecture the chance to fix their ABI. That
code is still carrying some legacy warts in its user space ABI, and
Michal Simek agreed to convert to the asm-generic versions of the
exported headers once they get in, changing the microblaze ABI one
last time.
4 Serve as an example to new architecture maintainers on how they should
implement their files. In many cases, they can simply use the generic
version, in others they can use them as a base for their own optimized
versions.
The patches have been worked on by myself, with significant testing and
improvements from Remis. The logic to get there was roughly for each
file:
- if less than two thirds of the architectures implement it, don't
touch it. (e.g. vdso.h)
- if all architectures are fundamentally different, don't touch it.
(e.g. ptrace.h) There are fewer of these than I expected.
- if most architectures agree on a sane approach, use that one.
(e.g. current.h)
- if an incomplete header file exists in asm-generic, rename that
and provide a new file according to the other rules (e.g. page.h,
mman.h).
- if there are common variants that are only slightly different,
create a generalized variant that an architecture can choose its
way by potentially overriding the defaults (e.g. ioctls.h, types.h),
make the default option either the most sane or the most common one.
- if all architectures are different without a good reason, choose
the sanest combination of contents so the future ones are all the
same (e.g. unistd.h, stat.h)
- if an architecture only needs it to support a feature (e.g. SMP,
PCI, MMU), add a file for the case where that feature is not present,
(e.g. page.h, vga.h). Simple architectures can now fall back on this
file, more sophisticated ones need their own code.
