Исходники для разных версий ядра Files
Системные вызовы, которые являются главным интерфейсом ядра, для процессов выглядят одинаково, независимо от версии. Новый системный вызов может быть добавлен, но старые обычно будут вести себя точно так, как и раньше. Это необходимо для обратной совместимости новая версия ядра, как предполагается, не разрывает регулярные процессы. В большинстве случаев, файлы устройства также останутся теми же самыми. С другой стороны, внутренние интерфейсы ядра могут изменяться между версиями.
Версии ядра Linux разделены между устойчивыми версиями (n.<Четное число>.m) и версии разработки (n.<Нечетное число>.m). Версии разработки включают все новые идеи, включая те, которые будут считаться ошибкой или повторно выполнены в следующей версии. В результате Вы не можете доверять интерфейсу в том плане, что он останется тем же самым в версиях разработки. В устойчивых версиях мы можем ожидать, что интерфейс останется тем же самым независимо от версии исправления ошибок (число m).
Эта версия MPG включает поддержку для версии 2.0.x и версии ядра Linux. Так как имеются различия между ними, требуется условная трансляция в зависимости от версии. Способ сделать это сводится к тому, чтобы использовать макрокоманду LINUX_VERSION_CODE. В версии a.b.c ядра значение этой макрокоманды было бы 216a+28b+c. Чтобы получать значение для конкретной версии, мы можем использовать макрокоманду KERNEL_VERSION. Так как этот макрос не определен в 2.0.35, мы определяем его сами в случае необходимости.
