let broken drivers depend on BROKEN{,ON_SMP}
Subsystems (9)
PATCH 1/1 let broken drivers depend on BROKEN{,ON_SMP}
The patch below against 2.6.0-test2 does the following:
- let all drivers that don't compile depend on an undefined CONFIG_BROKEN
- let all drivers that don't compile on SMP (due to cli/sti usage) depend on a CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP that is only defined if !CONFIG_SMP
Notes:
- I might have missed a few drivers, I found the drivers below by trying to compile as many drivers as possible statically on i386
- I added in two drivers an #include <linux/interrupt.h> for the dummy cli/sti #define's on !SMP to allow the compilation on UP
- as an example I converted the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE entry from a dep_tristate comment to a full Kconfig entry with a dependency on CONFIG_BROKEN (help text stolen from 2.4)
- I do prefer BROKEN, Alan prefers OBSOLETE
a s/BROKEN/OBSOLETE/g is acceptable for me
I'm not sure whether now or later in the 2.6.0-test phase is the right time to apply this patch.

Hi Adrian.
Quoted 2 lines
- I do prefer BROKEN, Alan prefers OBSOLETE
a s/BROKEN/OBSOLETE/g is acceptable for me
To me at least, BROKEN and OBSOLETE have different meanings, and choice of which to use should depend on the circumstances. Here's my choice of definitions for the cases that I can see:
* Driver has been replaced by a newer driver, and the old driver is currently retained for cases that don't yet work with the replacement. Driver will be removed in a future kernel once the replacement handles all reported cases.
CONFIG_OBSOLETE
* Driver is for hardware that is not supported in modern computers, and is retained for use with older computers only. Driver will not be removed, but is not expected to be compiled by most users.
CONFIG_ANTIQUE
* Driver does not work, and is thus disabled. If it is not fixed in the near future, it will be considered to be OBSOLETE as well.
CONFIG_BROKEN
* Driver works on uniprocessor but not on SMP and is thus disabled when compiling for SMP. It is assumed that the driver will be fixed for SMP if relevant.
CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP
* Driver was BROKEN some considerable number of releases ago, and has never been fixed. It is thus assumed that the driver is for some device that none of the kernel developers is using. The driver will be removed in the transition to the next major release if it retains this status.
CONFIG_BROKEN && CONFIG_OBSOLETE
Personally, I'd like to see CONFIG_ANTIQUE (defaulting to "n") as a dependency for all drivers matching the description above simply to cut down on the amount of irrelevant choices in the configuration process.
Best wishes from Riley.
