[PATCH 1/4] include/linux/printk.h is not self-contained

[PATCH 1/4] include/linux/printk.h is not self-contained

[y]

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

<linux/printk.h> needs to include
  - <stdarg.h> for "va_list",
  - <linux/linkage.h> for "asmlinkage",
  - <linux/types.h> for "bool".

I wonder if printk should be self-contained.

If so, this patch should also add:

#include <linux/dynamic_debug.h>
#include <linux/ratelimit.h>

If not, maybe add:

#ifndef _LINUX_KERNEL_H
#error don't include <linux/printk.h> directly, use <linux/kernel.h>
#endif

Also asmlinkage is an ancient artifact and should
be removed from the declarations of early_printk,
vprintk, and printk.

Hmm, it does compile without those, as long as you don't use
dynamic debug or ratelimit.

That's another possibility. We already have several users, though.

Eh, it is because of sheer amount of printk() users headers aren't switched,
from kernel.h to printk.h

I agree with this patch along with Joe's 2 header additions...
but I get build errors with it (as reported yesterday):

types.h is also a subfile of kernel.h, right?
Or maybe you patched this one already - if so please excuse the noise :-)

Yes it is.

> Or maybe you patched this one already - if so please excuse the noise :-)

No I didn't patch that one.

I think it wouldn't be good to do that.
printk.h may be a special case because it was
moved out of kernel.h just to make it a bit neater.

You are welcome to if you choose to.

There are like 1500 or so files that have both kernel.h and types.h
