2017-06-08rcu: Remove SPARSE_RCU_POINTER Kconfig optionPaul E. McKenney1-6/+0
The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers has been around for a very long time, and it is now the only type of sparse-based checking that is optional. This commit therefore makes it unconditional. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
2017-02-15Improve sparse documentationMatthew Wilcox1-0/+6
Add documentation of -DCONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER. I started to add documentation of -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ as well, but discovered I'm too late; that's now enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

It's no longer used. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2016-12-16Documentation/sparse: drop __bitwise__Michael S. Tsirkin1-7/+0
We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
