byteorder: provide swabb.h generically in asm/byteorder.h

2008-10-20T15:52:40+00:00

This is needed during the transition to the new byteorder headers as the swabb.h functionality will be provided from asm/byteorder.h in the new version. To avoid breakage on arches still using the old implementation, provide swabb.h from asm/byteorder.h as well.

endian: Always evaluate arguments.

2008-07-25T16:28:09+00:00

Changeset 7fa897b91a3ea0f16c2873b869d7a0eef05acff4 ("ide: trivial sparse annotations") created an IDE bootup regression on big-endian systems. In drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, function ide_fixstring() we now have the loop: for (p = end ; p != s;) be16_to_cpus((u16 *)(p -= 2)); which will never terminate on big-endian because in such a configuration be16_to_cpus() evaluates to "do { } while (0)" Therefore, always evaluate the arguments to nop endian transformation operations.

Drop the exporting of empty

2008-04-30T15:29:54+00:00

Fix up the contents of 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.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
