No, *please* don't do this. Subarch for .c files is *broken*.
Last time I looked (and I don't think anyone has fixed it since)
it requires copying files all over the place, making an unmaintainable
nightmare. Either subarch needs fixing first, or we don't use it.
Let's just stick with your original patch - it's fine.

It is the place designed for code belonging only to one subarch.

It's design is identical to the arch directories, except that it has far
fewer hooks. People grumble about having to change 20 arch files when
they want to alter the interface, but no-one's yet called it
unmaintainable.
The subarch split is designed to support machines with radically
different architectures like voyager and to a lesser extent visws. Just
because summit isn't a radically different architecture doesn't make the
subarch concept broken. I think other people have mentioned before that
what you probably need for summit is a modular apic driver. However, if
you want to propose changes to the subarch setup, you're welcome to do
that too.
The problem you have (your setup.c and topology.c are identical to the
default) was originally going to be solved using VPATH. Unfortunately,
that got broken along the way in the new build scheme, so the best I
think you can do is add this to the summit Makefile
$(obj)/setup.c: $(src)/../mach-default/setup.c
cat $< $@
etc.
Kai isn't going to like this, but hopefully he will be able to come up
with a better solution.
However, you could also take this opportunity to remove the NUMA
pollution from mach-generic/topology.c.
> Let's just stick with your original patch - it's fine.
No, it's not. The object of the subarch is to remove all subarch
specific files from the main i386/kernel directory.

That doesn't mean it's not broken.

It needs fixing to avoid the duplication first ... after that it'll
be a fine idea. Until that, I'm not moving any code under there.

It was fixed in about 2.5.50-ac. I thought Linus had picked up the
improved version of mach-default* too. Its used extensively for stuff
like PC9800 which is deeply un-PC

Cool, if that's in mainline, we're set ... if not, I guess we need to
pull it out and steal it ;-)

I agree that duplicating files into different subarch dirs sure isn't the
way to go.

I think VPATH has never been meant to be used for anything like this, it
could be make to work, though it would interfere with the separate src/obj
thing. But I don't think it's a good idea, we'll have object files
magically appear without any visible source file, that's just too obscure.
I can basically see two options at this point:
> $(obj)/setup.c: $(src)/../mach-default/setup.c
> cat $< $@
Something like this, but using ln -sf would be nicer, since that avoids
someone editing the wrong file by mistake.
Or:
Make the build enter mach-default always. However, make compilation of
setup.c and topology.c conditional on CONFIG_X86_DEFAULT_SETUP and
CONFIG_X86_DEFAULT_TOPOLOGY (or combine those two into one config
variable). Then, you'll have to deal with those two variables explicitly
from Kconfig. Basically, set them to n for voyager and visws, y otherwise.
Yes, that means changing another line in Kconfig when you add a new
subarch, but that doesn't happen all that frequently. And it's sure better
than crashes on boot because your setup.c disappeared after a bk commit
and the build chose to use the mach-default one instead...

GNU diff doesn't seem to understand soft links, so I don't think that's
feasible unfortunately. The ../mach-default stuff still requires you to
edit each subarch's makefile when adding a file to any subarch, which is
a pain in the butt, but better than the duplicated files by a long way.
Another comprimise solution for now might be to leave the Makefile entries
with ifdefs in the main Makefile (just as we do without subarch), but just
move the subarch files into the subarch dirs ... at least until we get a
better plan sorted out? That'll mean much less reshuffling when it's fixed.

Actually, we have all that in the mainline. It was the .h fallback to
mach-defaults.
The issue here is that mach-numaq and mach-summit are very PC like and
so don't need any of the hooks that are in setup.c, thus they'd like to
share setup.c from mach-default. Likewise, they have the same topology
file, I think (although this time it would be different from
mach-default since we can pull the numa pieces out). Prior to the build
changes, VPATH would solve this problem (I used to use it to get
trampoline.o for voyager). However, now, the best I think we can do is
to cat the file across.

Well...There is a slightly different solution.
What if the summit/numaq setup.c simply contained
#include "../mach-default/setup.c"
?
Not that I like doing this, but it solves the "magic" appearace of the
object file and it's perfectly clear to anyone editing the file where it
really comes from.

Yes, that'd work as well. Just for reference, my suggestion: - Take
whatever you like best ;)

The slight problem here is that topology isn't shared between default,
summit and numaq (or at least won't be when the #ifdef mess is removed
from the default), but summit and numaq would still like to share the
same topology file between them, which is going to add another level of
complexity to the Makefile solution.
On the whole, I think the least of the three evils is #including a .c
file.

There are five hooks in setup.c (since I assume SUMMIT isn't MCA),
amounting to about 20 lines of code in all. There is no extra code in
the hooks which doesn't serve a purpose to the rest of the subarch
implementations.
I also notice there's some summit code that *should* be in an arch hook:

which is already there waiting for you to use it.
As I've already pointed out, the summit topology.c file should be split
out from the default one and the #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA removed.
All in all, properly done, there would be very little code duplication
even for something as PC like as the summit.
If I read correctly between the whines, the real issue is that subarch
is used to support things that vary from uniquely oddball to extremely
weird and are all ancient and highly unlikely ever to be found in
nature. IBM, understandably, doesn't want its brand new and expensive
summit lumped with such company.
I'm not the gatekeeper of code purity in arch/i386/kernel, so if you can
convince Linus, he'll probably take it. However, if you could come up
with a cogent technical argument why you can't use the subarch (or
modify it for your needs), it would probably be helpful. Not wanting to
duplicate 15 lines of code isn't really that convincing...

The company argument really doesn't bother me at all ;-)
I'm much more concerned with making things easy to maintain ... the .h
file stuff under subarch is *superb* as long as you don't have to build
one kernel that supports many machines. If the .c stuff worked like that,
I'd have no issues.
The function vector stuff is another issue ... we need to make the distros
happy at some point soon for the mainline arches that need to be supported
at least (ie NUMA-Q et al don't matter so much).
