That's not a bad idea. We could have a script that creates some kind of header file with #define HAVE_KTIME_GET_SECONDS and then we could use that. We could even just do that for every single exported functions, that will just be a few hundred lines but shouldn't matter much? :) I once considered something similar but by actually test-compiling something against the kernel - that worked (even for backported inlines) but was awfully slow ... johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe backports" in
