2014-05-08asm-generic: allow generic unaligned access if the arch supports itArd Biesheuvel
Switch the default unaligned access method to 'hardware implemented' if HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-06-11asm-generic: add generic versions of common headersArnd Bergmann
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.

2008-04-29kernel: Move arches to use common unaligned accessHarvey Harrison
Unaligned access is ok for the following arches: cris, m68k, mn10300, powerpc, s390, x86 Arches that use the memmove implementation for native endian, and the byteshifting for the opposite endianness. h8300, m32r, xtensa Packed struct for native endian, byteshifting for other endian: alpha, blackfin, ia64, parisc, sparc, sparc64, mips, sh m86knommu is generic_be for Coldfire, otherwise unaligned access is ok. frv, arm chooses endianness based on compiler settings, uses the byteshifting versions. Remove the unaligned trap handler from frv as it is now unused. v850 is le, uses the byteshifting versions for both be and le. Remove the now unused asm-generic implementation.

2007-07-31use __val in __get_unalignedMike Frysinger
Use "__val" rather than "val" in the __get_unaligned macro in asm-generic/unaligned.h. This way gcc wont warn if you happen to also name something in the same scope "val".

2007-07-17saner typechecking in generic unaligned.hAl Viro
Verify that types would match for assignment (under sizeof, so we are safe from side effects or any code actually getting generated), then explicitly cast everywhere to the fixed-sized types. Kills a bunch of bogus warnings about constants being truncated (gcc, sparse), finds a pile of endianness problems hidden by old noise (sparse).

2006-03-08[PATCH] __get_unaligned() gcc-4 fixAtsushi Nemoto
If the 'ptr' is a const, this code cause "assignment of read-only variable" error on gcc 4.x. Use __u64 instead of __typeof__(*(ptr)) for temporary variable to get rid of errors on gcc 4.x.

2005-09-07[PATCH] optimise 64bit unaligned access on 32bit kernelRalf Baechle
I've rewriten Atushi's fix for the 64-bit put_unaligned on 32-bit systems bug to generate more efficient code. This case has buzilla URL http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5138.

2005-04-24[PATCH] __get_unaligned() turned into macroAl Viro
Turns __get_unaligned() and __put_unaligned into macros. That is definitely safe; leaving them as inlines breaks on e.g. alpha [try to build ncpfs there and you'll get unresolved symbols since we end up getting __get_unaligned() not inlined].

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
