Hi Roel,

Looking at arch/m68knommu/platform/68360/ints.c I noted two things that
stood out:

1) on line 110:

_ramvec[vba+CPMVEC_RISCTIMER]   = inthandler;  /* reserved */

and 114:

_ramvec[vba+CPMVEC_RISCTIMER]   = inthandler;  /* timer table */

The same definitions are used, and in the first case the comment and
definition do not correspond.

Yes, that does look odd. I am not intimately familiar with the 68360,
but looking at the underlying vector numbers I would say that the
entry with the "reserved" comment is superfluous, and should be removed.

(That code has been that way as far back as I could see,
certainly into 2.4 kernels).


2) while all other definitions are used like this:

_ramvec[vba+CPMVEC_DEF2]   = inthandler;
...
_ramvec[vba+CPMVEC_DEF1]   = inthandler;

This is not true for CPMVEC_RESERVED:

_ramvec[vba+CPMVEC_RESERVED1]   = inthandler;   /* reserved */
...
_ramvec[vba+CPMVEC_RESERVED2]   = inthandler;  /* reserved */

Is this a bug?

I am not sure I follow. Is it the ascending/descending numerical
ordering that you are worried about?

I don't know why the original author ordered the assignments
in the opposite order of the definitions, but I don't see it
making any difference here. So I don't see a bug.

Regards
Greg
