mips: lasat: sysctl: Convert use of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2013-06-17T22:31:32+00:00

This typedef is unnecessary and should just be removed. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Jiri Kosina Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/5460/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.

2013-02-01T09:00:22+00:00

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling in forever. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Lasat: Fix botched changes to sysctl code.

Commit 163931922220e4cb5effd5af1e105038c2f0ab7a "sysctl mips/lasat: Remove dead binary sysctl support" obviously wasn't test built ... Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.

2009-11-18T16:37:40+00:00

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler. Explicity taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL. Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

sysctl mips/lasat: Remove dead binary sysctl support

2009-11-12T10:04:59+00:00

Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys .ctl_name and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code. Remove them. The deleted strategy routines here surprise me. ctl_name was CTL_UNNUMBERED so they would not have been called at all. Acked-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04+00:00

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

timekeeping: Increase granularity of read_persistent_clock()

2009-08-15T08:55:46+00:00

The persistent clock of some architectures (e.g. s390) have a better granularity than seconds. To reduce the delta between the host clock and the guest clock in a virtualized system change the read_persistent_clock function to return a struct timespec.

sysctl: simplify ->strategy

2008-10-16T18:21:47+00:00

name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array may be needed (name).

[MIPS] Lasat: sysctl fixup

2008-06-16T14:14:48+00:00

LASAT's sysctl interface was broken, it failed a check during boot because a single entry had a sysctl number and the rest were unnumbered. When I fixed it I noticed that the whole sysctl file needed a spring clean, it was using mutexes where it wasn't needed (it's only needed to protect during writes to the EEPROM), so I moved that stuff out and generally cleaned the whole thing up. So now, LASAT's sysctl/proc interface is working again. Signed-off-by: Thomas Horsten Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

[MIPS] Deforest the function pointer jungle in the time code.

2007-10-11T22:46:08+00:00

Hard to follow who is pointing what to where and why so it's simply getting in the way of the time code renovation. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
