Hi, Am I missing something or is this just code to get the the resource subsystem to accept the bus resources, not caring if the resources are actually usable? PCI BARs usually have a given size for a reason? - Kjetil Oftedal On 12/01/2015, Yinghai Lu ying...@kernel.org wrote: Some bios put

re the sparc kernel-developers don't have access to any real sparc32 hardware. SUN machines were at least plentiful. The LEON-family of processors being targeted towards the rad-hardened market are not so much available. Maybe Gaisler can contribute some systems, or make some available remotely?

They will require their own PCI Config space accessors that is not connected to a host bridge if one wants to do some sort of punch-through enumeration. I guess the kernel doesn't care much about them? Best regards, Kjetil Oftedal

I guess the intention of the COPYING.LIB file was to license the contents of the sparc/lib folder under LGPL so that optimized standard C functions can easily be shared between the kernel and any userland libc using LGPL. In b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd (License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license) all these files were suddenly (re)licenced under GPL-2.0.
