Hello Paul, thank you for answer. Yes i saw video-*.c files, but i can't understand how compilation of these video-*.c files depends on _WAKEUP macro... For example if'd remove -D_WAKEUP, i get errors during realmode.elf linking: arch/x86/realmode/rm/video-vga.o: In function `vga_probe': /home/alex/dev/linux/arch/x86/realmode/rm/../../boot/video-vga.c:259: undefined reference to `boot_params' As you wrote there are many #ifndef/#endif directives, but why there _WAKEUP is undefined everytime, but we pass it from command line with -D_WAKEUP? Thank you. 2015-01-07 22:54 GMT+06:00 Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl>:

There is following definition at arch/x86/realmode/rm/Makefile:
KBUILD_CFLAGS := $(LINUXINCLUDE) $(REALMODE_CFLAGS) -D_SETUP -D_WAKEUP \ -I$(srctree)/arch/x86/boot
Is it used now? I'm asking because _WAKEUP definition everywhere undefined in the code.
git grep tells me: $ git grep -n "_WAKEUP\b" arch/x86 arch/x86/boot/video-bios.c:51:#ifndef _WAKEUP arch/x86/boot/video-bios.c:66:#ifdef _WAKEUP arch/x86/boot/video-mode.c:169:#ifndef _WAKEUP arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:27:#ifndef _WAKEUP arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:29:#else /* _WAKEUP */ arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:31:#endif /* _WAKEUP */ arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:160:#ifndef _WAKEUP arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:272:#endif /* not _WAKEUP */ arch/x86/boot/video-vga.c:257:#ifndef _WAKEUP arch/x86/boot/video-vga.c:269:#ifndef _WAKEUP
And in that Makefile we also see, a few lines up: wakeup-objs := [...] video-mode.o [...] wakeup-objs += video-vga.o wakeup-objs += video-vesa.o wakeup-objs += video-bios.o
So this Makefile line defines a _WAKEUP macro that is, it seems, used for the build of those four object files. (It's bit more complicated than that. But I think KBUILD_CFLAGS is explained in Documentation/, isn't it?)
Hope this helps,
Paul Bolle
