- Subject: Runtime arch specific
Hi Martin,
Ananth discussed with me about the possibility of splitting the runtime
arch specific code. Currently only a few files (stack.c, copy.c,
current.c and regs.h) contain arch specific code. How about organize the
runtime somewhat similar to the kernel
arch/i386/stack.c
arch/i386/current.c
arch/i386/copy.c
include/arch/i386/regs.h
and so on...
There are couple advantages such as
1. Porting the runtime to another arch one can quickly look at the code
under arch.
2. When people modifying on arch are ware of the other arch have to also
be changed.
Regards, Hien.
