2006-05-21[PATCH] matroxfb: fix DVI setup to be more compatiblePaul A. Clarke
There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have easy access to... I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32 box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals, on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch. I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as well. Signed-off-by: Paul A.

The driver has 2 methods for setting the color map, using the protected mode interface provided by the video BIOS and directly writing to the VGA registers. The former is not supported in x86_64 and the latter is enabled only in i386. Fix by enabling the latter method in x86_64 only if supported by the BIOS.

2006-03-31[PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class ImprovementsRichard Purdie
Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly. Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent. The following changes are included: The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the backlight_properties structure. The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the backlight_properties structure. Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the backlight_properties structure. The backlight driver has only two functions to implement. One function is called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness value. A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any driver/device specific factors). Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal. The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

2006-03-31[PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2006-03-27[PATCH] framebuffer: cmap-setting return valuesAlan Curry
A set of 3 small bugfixes, all of which are related to bogus return values of fb colormap-setting functions. First, fb_alloc_cmap returns -1 if memory allocation fails. This is a hard condition to reproduce since you'd have to be really low on memory, but from studying the contexts in which it is called, I think this function should be returning a negative errno, and the -1 will be seen as an EPERM. Switching it to -ENOMEM makes sense. Second, the store_cmap function which is called for writes to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/color_map returns 0 for success, but it should be returning the count of bytes written since its return value ends up in userspace as the result of the write() syscall. Third, radeonfb returns 1 instead of a negative errno when FBIOPUTCMAP is called with an oversized colormap. This is seen in userspace as a return value of 1 from the ioctl() syscall with errno left unchanged. A more useful return value would be -EINVAL.

insmod will tell us when the module failed to load. We do no further processing on the return from i2c_add_driver(), so just return what i2c_add_driver() did, instead of storing it. Add __init/__exit annotations while we're at it.

2006-03-27[PATCH] fbdev: framebuffer driver for Geode GXDavid Vrabel
A framebuffer driver for the display controller in AMD Geode GX processors (Geode GX533, Geode GX500 etc.). Tested at 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 at 8, 16, and 24 bpp with both CRT and TFT. No accelerated features currently implemented and compression remains disabled. This driver requires that the BIOS (or the SoftVG/Firmbase code in the BIOS) has created an appropriate virtual PCI header.

2006-03-27[PATCH] nvidiafb: add suspend and resume hooksAntonino A. Daplas
Add suspend and resume hooks to make software suspend more reliable. Resuming from standby should generally work. Resuming from mem and from disk requires that the GPU is disabled. Adding these to the suspend script... fbset -accel false -a /* suspend here */ fbset -accel true -a ... should generally work. In addition, resuming from mem requires that the video card has to be POSTed by the BIOS or some other utility.

2006-03-27[PATCH] vgacon: Add support for soft scrollbackAntonino A. Daplas
The scrollback buffer of the VGA console is located in VGA RAM. This RAM is fixed in size and is very small. To make the scrollback buffer larger, it must be placed instead in System RAM. This patch adds this feature. The feature and the size of the buffer are made as a kernel config option. Besides consuming kernel memory, this feature will slow down the console by approximately 20%.

2006-03-27[PATCH] vgacon: fix EGA cursor resize functionSamuel Thibault
This corrects cursor resize on ega boards: registers are write-only, so we shouldn't even try to read them. And on ega, 31/30 produces a flat cursor. Using 31/31 is better: except with 32 pixels high fonts, it shouldn't show up. Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org> Cc: "Antonino A.

2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.) The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew Morton.
