[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v3 0/3] arm/powerpc: make argv[0] the program name

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



v3:
 - fixed x86 compilation by adding a weak symbol for auxinfo
 - reworked all patches to avoid the ugly, although temporary, #ifdeffery
 - also squashed patches 3/4 and 4/4 together
 - moved initializer out of for() [Thomas]
 - dropped all of Thomas' r-b's, as I changed too much to keep
   them, but he shouldn't need to review much of the two "reserve..."
   patches again.

repost:
 - rebased to latest upstream master (fixed trivial conflicts
   with 4c6b5d and dc0a22, the Makefile cleanup patches)
 - added Thomas' r-b's
v2:
 - copy auxinfo.prognam into argv[0] [drew]


It just came to my attention that x86 has the normal argv[0], the
program name, thanks to seabios. That raised the priority of fixing
one of my pet peeves - arm and powerpc starting arguments
at argv[0], as that just ain't right. This series fixes that. A few
temporary hacks are used to avoid one big patch fixing both arm
and powerpc at the same time. The hacks are gone by the end of the
series.

  arm/arm64: reserve argv[0] for prognam
  powerpc/ppc64: reserve argv[0] for prognam
  arm & powerpc: populate argv[0] with prognam
