* Removed unused library 'ncurses' from xlosetup's dependenciesManuel Bentele2020-12-031-0/+3

* Setup xloop device with XLOOP_CONFIGURE ioctl callManuel Bentele2020-12-021-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | This feature allows the userspace tool xlosetup to completely setup a loop device with a single ioctl call, removing the in-between state where the device can be partially configured, eg. the loop device has a backing file associated with it, but is reading from the wrong offset. Besides removing the intermediate state, another big benefit of this ioctl is that XLOOP_SET_STATUS can be slow. The main reason for this slowness is that XLOOP_SET_STATUS(64) calls blk_mq_freeze_queue() to freeze the associated queue. This requires waiting for RCU.
* Add Linux kernel module support for 32-bit architectures (eg. ARM)Manuel Bentele2020-11-202-8/+19
| | | | | | | This change replaces all 64-bit division and modulo operations with specific Linux kernel macros and functions to support 32-bit hardware architectures. Thus, the xloop kernel modules can also run on 32-bit ARM architectures, such as the Raspberry Pi 1 running Raspberry Pi OS.
* Add upstream and compatibility changes for Linux kernel 5.10 and 4.19Manuel Bentele2020-11-161-2/+30

* Remove the build requirement for an unused C++ compilerManuel Bentele2020-10-274-4/+8
| | | | | This patch sets the programming languages of each CMake project to C. With this change, CMake does not search for an unused C++ compiler anymore.
* Remove static generation of LTP configuration headerManuel Bentele2020-10-264-14/+15
| | | | | | | This patch removes the static generation of the LTP configuration header done by CMake. The static generation is replaced with a fixed header (no CMake template anymore) which includes the dynamic generated xloop version header to define version number macros for LTP.
* Add automatic generation of version and build type headers for compilationManuel Bentele2020-10-235-70/+32Star
| | | | | | | This change replaces the static version and build type header file generation by CMake with dynamic CMake targets to generate the version file whenever a Make target is executed. Thus, there is no need anymore to reconfigure and rerun CMake after the repository version or build configuration has changed.
* Move the source code of all xloop components to the common 'src' directoryManuel Bentele2020-10-23259-0/+57016
