Subject: core_param() for genuinely core kernel parameters
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~36^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=67e67ceaac5bf55dbdceb704ff2d763d438b5373;p=pandora-kernel.git

core_param() for genuinely core kernel parameters

There are a lot of one-liner uses of __setup() in the kernel: they're
cumbersome and not queryable (definitely not settable) via /sys.  Yet
it's ugly to simplify them to module_param(), because by default that
inserts a prefix of the module name (usually filename).

So, introduce a "core_param".  The parameter gets no prefix, but
appears in /sys/module/kernel/parameters/ (if non-zero perms arg).  I
thought about using the name "core", but that's more common than
"kernel".  And if you create a module called "kernel", you will die
a horrible death.
