2005-04-16[PATCH] u32 vs. pm_message_t in ppc and radeonPavel Machek
This fixes pm_message_t vs. u32 confusion in ppc and aty (I *hope* that's basically radeon code...). I was not able to test most of these, but I'm not really changing anything, so it should be okay. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: remove bogus f50 hack in prom.cBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The code that parses the OF device tree contains an old bogus hack which was killed a long time ago on ppc32, but survived in ppc64. It was supposed to help with a problem on the f50 which is ... a 32 bits machine :) Additionally, that hack is causing problems, so let's just get rid of it.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: Detect altivec via firmware on unknown CPUsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch adds detection of the Altivec capability of the CPU via the firmware in addition to the cpu table. This allows newer CPUs that aren't in the table to still have working altivec support in the kernel. It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec features, and takes an altivec unavailable exception due to userland issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically forget vrsave). With this patch, the kernel will refuse to enable altivec when the feature isn't detected for the CPU (SIGILL).

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSOBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the proper address). While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: fix export of wrong symbolPaul Mackerras
In arch/ppc64/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c, we are still exporting flush_icache_range, but that has been changed to be an inline in include/asm-ppc64/cacheflush.h which calls __flush_icache_range (defined in arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S). This patch changes the export to __flush_icache_range, thus allowing modules to use the inline flush_icache_range.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: Fix semantics of __ioremapBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch fixes ppc64 __ioremap() so that it stops adding implicitely _PAGE_GUARDED when the cache is not writeback, and instead, let the callers provide the flag they want here. This allows things like framebuffers to explicitely request a non-cacheable and non-guarded mapping which is more efficient for that type of memory without side effects. The patch also fixes all current callers to add _PAGE_GUARDED except btext, which is fine without it.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: very basic desktop g5 sound supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations though: - Only 44100Khz 16 bits - Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none of the more recent ones like iMac G5. - It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native AC3 support Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital, etc etc etc... This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes). Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like that, check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable. Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: Fix AGP and sleep againBenjamin Herrenschmidt
My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP "off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch (unlike the radeon DRM). This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended. This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI. In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
