2006-12-08[PATCH] mbxfb: Add YUV video overlay supportRaphael Assenat
This patch adds a way to create and use the video plane (YUV overlay) and scaling video scaling features of the chip. The overlay is configured, resized and modified using a device specific ioctl. Also included in this patch: - If no platform data was passed, print an error and exit instead of crashing. - Added a write_reg(_dly) macro. This improves readability when manipulating chip registers. (no more udelay() after each write). - Comments about some issues. Signed-off-by: Raphael Assenat <raph@8d.com> Cc: "Antonino A.

Refactor the ipc sysctl support so that it is simpler, more readable, and prepares for fixing the bug with the wrong values being returned in the sys_sysctl interface. The function proc_do_ipc_string() was misnamed as it never handled strings. It's magic of when to work with strings and when to work with longs belonged in the sysctl table. I couldn't tell if the code would work if you disabled the ipc namespace but it certainly looked like it would have problems. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-12-08[PATCH] sysctl: implement sysctl_uts_string()Eric W. Biederman

2006-12-08[PATCH] sysctl: simplify sysctl_uts_stringEric W. Biederman
The binary interface to the namespace sysctls was never implemented resulting in some really weird things if you attempted to use sys_sysctl to read your hostname for example. This patch series simples the code a little and implements the binary sysctl interface. In testing this patch series I discovered that our 32bit compatibility for the binary sysctl interface is imperfect. In particular KERN_SHMMAX and KERN_SMMALL are size_t sized quantities and are returned as 8 bytes on to 32bit binaries using a x86_64 kernel. However this has existing for a long time so it is not a new regression with the namespace work. Gads the whole sysctl thing needs work before it stops being easy to shoot yourself in the foot. Looking forward a little bit we need a better way to handle sysctls and namespaces as our current technique will not work for the network namespace. I think something based on the current overlapping sysctl trees will work but the proc side needs to be redone before we can use it. This patch: Introduce get_uts() and put_uts() (used later) and remove most of the special cases for when UTS namespace is compiled in. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
