I know that arch/ppc is obsolete in 2.6.26 and deprecated for earlier releases. However, I have a port to a custom PPC-based board that was originally done for 2.6.14 in arch/ppc, and I've ported it to our current "standard" kernel of 26.25 and it works (anyway it boots etc.) I absolutely do not have time now, and not for a few months, to convert over to live in arch/powerpc (BTW, if anyone has any pointers to docs on ways to make that transition I'm very interested).
My problem is this: I'm having trouble building some of our externel kernel modules because they can't find various kernel header files. Looking at the kernel's include directory I see that include/asm is symlinked to include/asm-ppc which is what I would expect for ARCH=ppc, and the same way it used to work in 2.6.14. However, looking in the include/asm-ppc directory I see that many of the files that used to be there are not there anymore... although they do appear in include/asm-powerpc. In particular I'm interested in ppc_asm.h which used to exist in both asm-ppc64 AND in asm-ppc, but now only exists in asm-powerpc. What's the approved way to include this header if asm points to asm-ppc? In general it seems like lots of headers that used to be in both asm directories now appear in only asm-powerpc; I don't really see how this is supposed to work. Any tips on this would be most welcome. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
