2008-07-20tty: Introduce a tty_port common structureAlan Cox
Every tty driver has its own concept of a port structure and because they all differ we cannot extract commonality. Begin fixing this by creating a structure drivers can elect to use so that over time we can push fields into this and create commonality and then introduce common methods.

2008-07-20tty: Ldisc revampAlan Cox
Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement. For the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty. Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-20Subject: devmem, x86: fix rename of CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEMIngo Molnar
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:47:17 -0700 CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, so that architectures can opt-in into it. ( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the infastructure yet to support this feature) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: "V.Radhakrishnan" <rk@atr-labs.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> ---

Linus observed: > The real bug is that we shouldn't have "double negatives", and > certainly not negative config options. Making that "promiscuous > /dev/mem" option a negated thing as a config option was bad. right ... lets rename this option. There should never be a negation in config options.

2008-07-14drm: reorganise drm tree to be more future proof.Dave Airlie
With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff, the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and starting to be unmanageable. This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components. It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

2008-07-10rtc: fix reported IRQ rate for when HPET is enabledPaul Gortmaker
The IRQ rate reported back by the RTC is incorrect when HPET is enabled. Newer hardware that has HPET to emulate the legacy RTC device gets this value wrong since after it sets the rate, it returns before setting the variable used to report the IRQ rate back to users of the device -- so the set rate and the reported rate get out of sync.
