Subject: [PATCH v2] rch/score/include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h: Add prefix 'SCORE_' for related macros

'COUNTER' and other same kind macros are too common to use, and easy to
get conflict with other modules. So add prefix for them.

And it is UAPI, so only change it within linux kernel.

The related warning (allmodconfig with score):

That looks weird ... not sure if that is a good solution either.

Are those defines actually used anywhere ? They don't seem to be used in the kernel.

Side note - an 'a' got missing in your headline.
And I'd suggest to abbreviate it to something like
score/uapi: ptrace.h:

Besides checking whether they are used in the kernel or not, I presume we
would need to be fairly confident there are actual userspace usecases for
these that require the change. It begs the question of why these
constants are too generic to be in the kernel but are acceptable in the
set of userspace applications in the world.

That is another question. But for the time being it might be sufficient to
surround the defines with #if !defined(__KERNEL__) without introducing new
(and unused) kernel defines.

On the other hand, if no userspace is referencing these, then you could
just rename them and move them out of the uapi header to
include/asm/ptrace.h and be done with it.

OK, thanks. And sorry for the subject lost 'a', firstly. And it is
related with UAPI, so it is really important enough to let related
maintainer to notice about it.

I guess, only the related maintainer know whether can remove these
macros out of "include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h" (although in current upstream
kernel source, they are really not used).

It is abnormal in uapi headers for same values with different macros
switched by "__KERNEL__", but if we have to remain them still in uapi,
we have to use "__KERNEL__ && __linux__" to carm down kernel and user.


Thanks.

These marcos are listed in advance.
Indeed, they have not been used, and the functions use them have not
be released.
I would like to keep the status even if the configure should not be used.
However, if guys think it is dirty, maybe we can remove or comment them first.

Best,
Lennox

UAPI is the main interface for contribution to outside, that is our
main goal, and has the highest priority.

After new contents are added into UAPI, it is very hard to remove them
again: it is protocol, can only be complement, but can not be changed
(or will be a 'cheat').

So, for me, if we find the new contents in UAPI may have negative effect to
outside, we need stop it firstly (at least, not let it merged into main line).


If no any additional reply for it within this week, I shall send patch
v3 for it (simply remove them).

Thanks.
