rationale for "__early_param" macro for ARM?

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

 



  i'm aware of the use of the macro "early_param" defined in
include/linux/init.h, and its use throughout the source tree:

  $ grep -r early_param *

  but i also notice that the ARM architecture defines its own form of
a similar macro:

  $ grep -rw __early_param *

  i admit i haven't looked closely enough, but is there some reason
that the ARM architecture needed to define its own form of this macro?
is there something ARM-specific that couldn't be done with the regular
macro?
