What userspace programs are talking to this device? Why do you need to be a kernel driver at all and not just a UIO userspace driver? Anyway, there's nothing "special" you need to do for x32 that you shouldn't have already done properly for your char interface to handle a mixture of 32/64bit kernel and userspace issues. So again, nothing should change, other than making sure you properly handle mixed user/kernel bit sizes properly. Do you have a pointer to your source code anywhere? thanks, greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
Re: How to add x32 ABI support to PCI driver
Hello Greg, I working on a char device driver. It is mostly based on the the scull device driver in the LDD book. It controls a HBA sitting on the PCIe BUS.

A PCI driver should not care about the processor or userspace ABI at all. What type of driver are you working on? What hardware does it control? thanks, greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
How to add x32 ABI support to PCI driver
Im trying to port the PCI driver(supports only 32 bit) from 2.6.31 )o the latest kernel version using openSuse. Im doing it version by version. I was able to port it till 3.1 kernel version. In the kernel 3.4 there is feature called X32 ABI support. I'm not knowing how to add this. Could anyone tell me what exactly this is and how to add this feature and what should I be changing ?

Something was wrong with my firewall settings. Fixed it and I am able to clone the repo now.Sorry for the troubles.
