ChangeSet@1.1961.2.5, 2004-08-12 18:24:36-07:00, trini@kernel.crashing.org [PATCH] ppc32: Fix warning on CONFIG_PPC32 && CONFIG_6xx In the *ppos cleanups, proc_dol2crvec was updated, but the prototype found at the top of kernel/sysctl.h was not, generating warning. This corrects the prototype to match the code.

This patch adds a timer initialization function to the LPD7A400 machine type. It also makes a small correction to the kernel configuration that is out of step with the machine specific Kconfig.

Normal users shouldn't have access to the raw device anyway unless they are in the trusted "disk" group, but let's require RAWIO capabilities. That's what the original SCSI interfaces did anyhoo. We probably _should_ just require write access, but that will need more of a code change to pass down the file descriptor.

It seems the 4k stack developers like newer compilers than I do :) The gcc 2.95 section declaration looks like this: .section .bss.page_aligned,"aw",@progbits while the 3.1 section looks like this: .section .bss.page_aligned,"aw",@nobits It's definitely a bug that's been fixed: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-10/msg00507.html I've been told that I can fix it with a carefully crafted assembly file and maybe a change to the linker script, but all that it buys us is a little space in the uncompressed kernel image. Plus, the warning will still be there at compile-time. I say, put them back in plain old BSS.
