Subject: [HDRINSTALL 3/3] Remove asm/io.h from user visibility
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 00:32:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1152574336.25567.56.camel@shinybook.infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1152574110.25567.47.camel@shinybook.infradead.org>
There's no excuse for userspace abusing this kernel header -- the
kernel's headers are not intended to provide a library of helper
routines for userspace. Using <asm/io.h> from userspace is broken on
most architectures anyway. Just say 'no'.
