Hi - This patch set aims to remove the direct access to the 'a' and 'b' fields of 32-bit x86 descriptors. Static inline getters/setters are provided. This is a resumbmit of a patch set I submitted several months ago[1]. My last patch set was a bit large, so I've tried to take a smaller bite this time and slowly build the cleanup effort over a series of patch sets. Any and all comments, suggestions, and questions are welcome. Thanks, Joe Damato [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/24/459 --- Joe Damato (2): x86: Add getter/setter static inlines for x86 descriptors x86: Replace direct access to descriptor fields with getter/setters arch/x86/include/asm/desc.h | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ arch/x86/include/asm/xen/hypercall.h | 5 +++-- arch/x86/kernel/tls.c | 6 ++++-- arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c | 3 ++- arch/x86/lguest/boot.c | 2 +- arch/x86/math-emu/fpu_system.h | 20 ++++++++++---------- drivers/lguest/interrupts_and_traps.c | 25 +++++++++++++------------ drivers/lguest/segments.c | 20 ++++++++++++-------- drivers/pnp/pnpbios/bioscalls.c | 4 ++-- 9 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
