2008-04-30Drop the exporting of empty <linux/byteorder/generic.h>Robert P. J. Day
Fix up the contents of <linux/byteorder/> so that it doesn't export a content-free generic.h to user space. This involves: * Removing the __KERNEL__ tests from generic.h and dropping it from Kbuild. * Wrapping the inclusions of generic.h in both big_endian.h and little_endian.h in __KERNEL__ tests. * Shifting big_endian.h and little_endian.h from header-y to unifdef-y in Kbuild.

2008-02-08byteorder: move le32_add_cpu & friends from OCFS2 to coreMarcin Slusarz
This patchset moves le*_add_cpu and be*_add_cpu functions from OCFS2 to core header (1st), converts ext3 filesystem to this API (2nd) and replaces XFS different named functions with new ones (3rd). There are many places where these functions will be useful. Just look at: grep -r 'cpu_to_[ble12346]*([ble12346]*_to_cpu.*[-+]' linux-src/ Patch for ext3 is an example how conversions will probably look like. This patch: - move inline functions which add native byte order variable to little/big endian variable to core header * le16_add_cpu(__le16 *var, u16 val) * le32_add_cpu(__le32 *var, u32 val) * le64_add_cpu(__le64 *var, u64 val) * be32_add_cpu(__be32 *var, u32 val) - add for completeness: * be16_add_cpu(__be16 *var, u16 val) * be64_add_cpu(__be64 *var, u64 val) Signed-off-by: Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@gmail.com> Acked-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> Cc: David Chinner <dgc@sgi.com> Cc: Timothy Shimmin <tes@sgi.com> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-05-08Fix compilation of drivers with -O0Michal Schmidt
It is sometimes useful to compile individual drivers with optimization disabled for easier debugging. Currently drivers which use htonl() and similar functions don't compile with -O0. This patch fixes it. It also removes obsolete and misleading comments. This header is not for userspace, so we don't have to care about strange programs these comments mention. (akpm: -O0 probably isn't a good idea, but this code looks pretty crufty and unuseful) Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-05-08Fix constant folding and poor optimization in byte swapping codeTrent Piepho
Constant folding does not work for the swabXX() byte swapping functions, and the C versions optimize poorly. Attempting to initialize a global variable to swab16(0x1234) or put something like "case swab32(42):" in a switch statement will not compile. It can work, swab.h just isn't doing it correctly. This patch fixes that. Contrary to the comment in asm-i386/byteorder.h, gcc does not recognize the "C" version of swab16 and turn it into efficient code. gcc can do this, just not with the current code. The simple function: u16 foo(u16 x) { return swab16(x); } Would compile to: movzwl %ax, %eax movl %eax, %edx shrl $8, %eax sall $8, %edx orl %eax, %edx With this patch, it will compile to: rolw $8, %ax I also attempted to document the maze different macros/inline functions that are used to create the final product.

2007-02-11[PATCH] remove include/linux/byteorder/pdp_endian.hAdrian Bunk
include/linux/byteorder/pdp_endian.h is completely unused, and the comment in the file itself states that it's both untested and only a proof-of-concept.

2005-09-19[BYTEORDER]: Document alignment and byteorder macrosEd L. Cashin
This patch comments the fact that although passing le64_to_cpup et al. is within the intended use of the byteorder macros, using get_unaligned is the recommended way to go. Signed-off-by: Ed L. Cashin <ecashin@coraid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
