From 9429ec96c2718c0d1e3317cf60a87a0405223814 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:15:05 +0200 Subject: um: Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h The userspace part of UML uses the asm-offsets.h generator mechanism to create definitions for UM_KERN_ that match the in-kernel KERN_ constant definitions. As of commit 04d2c8c83d0e3ac5f78aeede51babb3236200112 ("printk: convert the format for KERN_ to a 2 byte pattern"), KERN_ is no longer expanded to the literal '""', but to '"\001" "LEVEL"', i.e. it contains two parts. However, the combo of DEFINE_STR() in arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/kernel-offsets.h and sed-y in Kbuild doesn't support string literals consisting of multiple parts. Hence for all UM_KERN_ definitions, only the SOH character is retained in the actual definition, while the remainder ends up in the comment. E.g. in include/generated/asm-offsets.h we get #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" /* "6" KERN_INFO */ instead of #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" "6" /* KERN_INFO */ This causes spurious '^A' output in some kernel messages: Calibrating delay loop... 4640.76 BogoMIPS (lpj=23203840) pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301 Mount-cache hash table entries: 256 ^AChecking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes ^AChecking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround ^AUsing 2.6 host AIO NET: Registered protocol family 16 bio: create slab at 0 Switching to clocksource itimer To fix this: - Move the mapping from UM_KERN_ to KERN_ from arch/um/include/shared/common-offsets.h to arch/um/include/shared/user.h, which is preincluded for all userspace parts, - Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h for all userspace parts, to obtain the in-kernel KERN_ constant definitions. This doesn't violate the kernel/userspace separation, as include/linux/kern_levels.h is self-contained and doesn't expose any other kernel internals. - Remove the now unused STR() and DEFINE_STR() macros.
