libnvdimm, nfit: initial libnvdimm infrastructure and NFIT support

2015-06-25T01:24:10Z

A struct nvdimm_bus is the anchor device for registering nvdimm resources and interfaces, for example, a character control device, nvdimm devices, and I/O region devices. The ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table) is one possible platform description for such non-volatile memory resources in a system. The nfit.ko driver attaches to the "ACPI0012" device that indicates the presence of the NFIT and parses the table to register a struct nvdimm_bus instance.

i2o: move to staging

2015-02-03T23:58:39Z

The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on in the market. The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it. We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either. It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years. Move it to staging and then to /dev/null. The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/Kconfig: remove duplicate entry for soc

2014-12-16T02:06:13Z

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH: "Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1. We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing, but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver. Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place, well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details. The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as well promote it out of staging. This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone participating agreed that this was the best way forward. There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version. As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I checked they were, which was good.

staging: android: binder: move to the "real" part of the kernel

2014-10-20T02:30:15Z

The Android binder code has been "stable" for many years now. No matter what comes in the future, we are going to have to support this API, so might as well move it to the "real" part of the kernel as there's no real work that needs to be done to the existing code.

soc: ti: add Keystone Navigator QMSS driver

2014-09-24T13:49:14Z

The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone Multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure Packet DMA. The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management. Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory. The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions, queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor pool management. The specifics on the device tree bindings for QMSS can be found in: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/keystone-navigator-qmss.txt Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Kumar Gala Cc: Olof Johansson Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Grant Likely Cc: Rob Herring Cc: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Sandeep Nair Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar

thunderbolt: Add initial cactus ridge NHI support

2014-06-19T21:04:52Z

Thunderbolt hotplug is supposed to be handled by the firmware. But Apple decided to implement thunderbolt at the operating system level. The firmare only initializes thunderbolt devices that are present at boot time. This driver enables hotplug of thunderbolt of non-chained thunderbolt devices on Apple systems with a cactus ridge controller. This first patch adds the Kconfig file as well the parts of the driver which talk directly to the hardware (that is pci device setup, interrupt handling and RX/TX ring management).
