2008-02-14sh: Update SH-5 flush_cache_sigtramp() for API changes.Paul Mundt
Previously this took an explicit range, update this to use the same behaviour as the rest of the SH parts where we simply flush out a line from the start address. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2008-02-14sh: trapped io support for r2d V2Magnus Damm
This patch converts the CF device on r2d boards from machvec readb/writeb to trapped io. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2008-02-14sh: trapped io support V2Magnus Damm
The idea is that we want to get rid of the in/out/readb/writeb callbacks from the machvec and replace that with simple inline read and write operations to memory. Fast and simple for most hardware devices (think pci). Some devices require special treatment though - like 16-bit only CF devices - so we need to have some method to hook in callbacks. This patch makes it possible to add a per-device trap generating filter. This way we can get maximum performance of sane hardware - which doesn't need this filter - and crappy hardware works but gets punished by a performance hit. V2 changes things around a bit and replaces io access callbacks with a simple minimum_bus_width value. In the future we can add stride as well.

2008-02-14sh: add byte support to the sign extension codeMagnus Damm
This patch adds byte support to the sign extension code. Unaligned access traps should never be generated on 8-bit io operations, but we will use this code for trapped io and we do need byte support there. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2008-02-14sh: make copy_to/from_user() static inlineMagnus Damm

This patch adds basic support for the Migo-R board. Only simple stuff provided by the cpu specific sh7722 code is in place now, like serial console port, timers and usb gadget. There is also partial support for the smc91c111 ethernet controller - unfortunately some driver header file also needs patching (not included here) to make the driver get IRQ sense information from the platform data.

2008-02-14maple: more robust device detection.Adrian McMenamin
Replacement second-in-series patch: This patch fixes up memory leaks and, by delaying initialisation, makes device detection more robust. It also makes clearer the difference between struct maple_device and struct device, as well as cleaning up the interrupt request code (without changing its function in any way). Also now removes redundant registration checking. Signed-off-by: Adrian McMenamin <adrian@mcmen.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2008-02-14maple: fix up whitespace damage.Adrian McMenamin

2008-02-13Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost fileMathieu Desnoyers
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

2008-02-13Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probesMathieu Desnoyers
RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path. - Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback. Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the callback instead of the marker site. Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the preempt disable section. - Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically armed. Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused. This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe "arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a va_list * instead of a "...". If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it, connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail. It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations : Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

2008-02-13pcmcia: ipwireless depends on NETDEVICESPaul Mundt

This leads to .config hilarity, with net suddenly ending up in the SCSI menu: # # SCSI device support # # CONFIG_SCSI_DMA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK is not set CONFIG_PPP=y # CONFIG_PHONE is not set Curiously the SLHC select from PPP doesn't seem to happen, as there's no CONFIG_SLHC=y (only CONFIG_PPP=y gets set) -- Kconfig bug?
