Subject: [PATCH 00/50] x86: Clean up and reorganize the E820 table handling code
When reviewing an E820 patch two days ago I noticed that our E820 code
in arch/x86/kernel/e820.c has bitrotten quite a bit, and started
cleaning it up a bit.
Didn't suspect that I'd end up with 50 patches, but oh well ...
The code got the usual treatments to turn it into a modern, cleanly
structured kernel facility:
- split the e820.h header split into asm/e820/types.h and asm/e820/api.h
and moved most of it out of the UAPI export,
- eliminated a number of header dependency hell related
to the E820 code,
- clarified and standardized the API names, the variable names, the
overall code style and the comments,
- cleaned up and modernized the various basic types used,
- fixed a ton of comments and weird constructs and added comments
where they were missing.
There's a lot more: see the individual patches for details. There's no
big functional changes, but the overall diffstat is pretty significant,
due to cleaning out of 10+ years of gradually accumulated cruft.
It should now be possible for someone to understand the code from first
principles, without too much hassle.
The patches can also be accessed in the following Git tree:
git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP.x86/boot
The code has been through a fair amount of testing, but only on a limited
number of test systems.
