* [PATCH] sanitize building of fs/compat_ioctl.cChristoph Hellwig2006-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft. We need a special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done. This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures. Also remove some superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c Tested on ppc64. [1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd kick in for all netdevice users. We can introduce a proper handler in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this patchset.

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things like that. What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic code. The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Move various ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpcDavid Gibson2005-11-09
This patch moves a bunch of files from arch/ppc64 and include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are: abs_addr.h compat.h lppaca.h paca.h tce.h cpu_setup_power4.S ioctl32.c firmware.c pacaData.c The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile changes are: - #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form - trailing whitespace removed - comments giving full paths removed - pacaData.c renamed paca.c to remove studlyCaps - Misplaced { moved in lppaca.h Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
