2007-07-18zs: move to the serial subsystemMaciej W. Rozycki
This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem. Any resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential. ;-) I do hope I got the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the issue unless you feel too good... Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines have now been swapped, i.e. ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3. It has to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used). Please update your scripts. This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in "/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too). The old driver never got it right... Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2006-09-30[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells
Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

This patch series replaces the old non-generic Hardware Random Number Generator support by a fully generic RNG API. This makes it possible to register additional RNGs from modules. With this patch series applied, Laptops with a bcm43xx chip (PowerBook) have a HW RNG available now. Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap" devices. (Written by Deepak Saxena). This patch series includes the old patches by Deepak Saxena. The old x86-rng driver has beed split. The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through /sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience. For now it is sufficient to use cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.
