Subject: [PATCH 0/2] UAPI: Extra preparatory patches
Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:10:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121003231044.19239.81961.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
Hi Linus,
I have here a couple of extra preparatory patches for you that I discovered
were necessary today:
(1) Remove reinclusion guards from certain asm/unistd.h files that were
overriding the guard if __SYSCALL was defined, eg:
#if defined(__ASM_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
The macro __SYSCALL is defined within and not then undef'd, thus
rendering the guard ineffective.
Clearly these guards are unnecessary, so drop them entirely for the
moment. We may want to add them back later, but it makes my scripts much
easier to handle by virtue of simplifying the logic.
(2) Break apart some cpp conditionals that got added with the arm64 arch that
are of the form:
defined(__KERNEL__) && defined(X)
Splitting these into two separate nested conditionals makes scripting
easier.
David
