5 * linux/byteorder_generic.h
6 * Generic Byte-reordering support
8 * The "... p" macros, like le64_to_cpup, can be used with pointers
9 * to unaligned data, but there will be a performance penalty on
10 * some architectures. Use get_unaligned for unaligned data.
12 * Francois-Rene Rideau <fare@tunes.org> 19970707
13 * gathered all the good ideas from all asm-foo/byteorder.h into one file,
15 * I hope it is compliant with non-GCC compilers.
16 * I decided to put __BYTEORDER_HAS_U64__ in byteorder.h,
17 * because I wasn't sure it would be ok to put it in types.h
18 * Upgraded it to 2.1.43
19 * Francois-Rene Rideau <fare@tunes.org> 19971012
20 * Upgraded it to 2.1.57
21 * to please Linus T., replaced huge #ifdef's between little/big endian
22 * by nestedly #include'd files.
23 * Francois-Rene Rideau <fare@tunes.org> 19971205
24 * Made it to 2.1.71; now a facelift:
25 * Put files under include/linux/byteorder/
26 * Split swab from generic support.
29 * = Regular kernel maintainers could also replace all these manual
30 * byteswap macros that remain, disseminated among drivers,
31 * after some grep or the sources...
32 * = Linus might want to rename all these macros and files to fit his taste,
33 * to fit his personal naming scheme.
34 * = it seems that a few drivers would also appreciate
35 * nybble swapping support...
36 * = every architecture could add their byteswap macro in asm/byteorder.h
37 * see how some architectures already do (i386, alpha, ppc, etc)
38 * = cpu_to_beXX and beXX_to_cpu might some day need to be well
39 * distinguished throughout the kernel. This is not the case currently,
40 * since little endian, big endian, and pdp endian machines needn't it.
41 * But this might be the case for, say, a port of Linux to 20/21 bit
42 * architectures (and F21 Linux addict around?).
46 * The following macros are to be defined by <asm/byteorder.h>:
48 * Conversion of long and short int between network and host format
53 * It seems that some programs (which? where? or perhaps a standard? POSIX?)
54 * might like the above to be functions, not macros (why?).
55 * if that's true, then detect them, and take measures.
56 * Anyway, the measure is: define only ___ntohl as a macro instead,
57 * and in a separate file, have
58 * unsigned long inline ntohl(x){return ___ntohl(x);}
60 * The same for constant arguments
61 * __constant_ntohl(__u32 x)
62 * __constant_ntohs(__u16 x)
63 * __constant_htonl(__u32 x)
64 * __constant_htons(__u16 x)
66 * Conversion of XX-bit integers (16- 32- or 64-)
67 * between native CPU format and little/big endian format
68 * 64-bit stuff only defined for proper architectures
69 * cpu_to_[bl]eXX(__uXX x)
70 * [bl]eXX_to_cpu(__uXX x)
72 * The same, but takes a pointer to the value to convert
73 * cpu_to_[bl]eXXp(__uXX x)
74 * [bl]eXX_to_cpup(__uXX x)
76 * The same, but change in situ
77 * cpu_to_[bl]eXXs(__uXX x)
78 * [bl]eXX_to_cpus(__uXX x)
80 * See asm-foo/byteorder.h for examples of how to provide
81 * architecture-optimized versions
86 #if defined(__KERNEL__)
88 * inside the kernel, we can use nicknames;
89 * outside of it, we must avoid POSIX namespace pollution...
