asm-generic: delay.h fix udelay and ndelay for 8 bit args

2011-07-22T16:45:33Z

With a non-constant 8-bit argument, a call to udelay() generates a warning: drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/atom.c: In function 'atom_op_delay': drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/atom.c:654: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type The code looks like it works OK with an 8-bit arg, and the calling code is doing nothing wrong, so udelay() needs fixing. Fixing it was rather tricky. Simply typecasting `n' in the comparison with 20000 didn't change anything. Hence the divide-by-20000 trick. Using a do{}while loop didn't work because udelay() is used in ?: statements, hence the ({...}) construct. While I was there I replaced the brain-bending ?:?:?: mess with nice if/else code. Probably other architectures are generating the same warning and can use a similar change. [Taken from the x86 tree and moved to asm-generic by Jonas Bonn] Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: "H.

asm-generic: adapt delay.h to common implementation

2011-07-07T18:11:39Z

Several architectures are using a common delay.h implementation that appears to have originated with the x86 architecture. This common implementation is a bit fuller than the current asm-generic version and has some compile-time checks that should be interesting for all architectures. This patch takes the common delay.h version and replaces the rather trivial asm-generic version with it. As no architecture was actually using asm-generic/delay.h, this change is rather innocuous; it will, however, allow us to switch at least four architectures over to using the asm-generic version.

asm-generic: add generic versions of common headers

2009-06-11T19:02:37Z

These are all kernel internal interfaces that get copied around a lot. In most cases, architectures can provide their own optimized versions, but these generic versions can work as well. I have tried to use the most common contents of each header to allow existing architectures to migrate easily. Thanks to Remis for suggesting a number of cleanups.
