This updates drivers/sgi by removing it :-) With all the conceptually
wrong code which has was rewritten or should be rewritten or better
live elsewhere there just was no point in keeping this directory around
any longer.
|
|
drivers/sgi/char/sgiserial.c converted to dynamic allocation
|
|
killed the last remnants of callout stuff - we don't need to mess with
storing termios privately anymore.
|
|
->table[], ->termios[] and ->locked_termios[] allocated dynamically
in tty_register_driver() and freed in tty_unregister_driver(). Per-driver
arrays gone.
|
|
->refcount switched from int * to int. Per-driver variables gone since we had
switched from int foo = 0; driver.refcount = &foo; to driver.refcount = 0;

|
callout removal: sgiserial

This is a pretty huge patch, but splitting it doesn't make a lot
of sense..
(USB may still need work)

Console drivers cleanup. In current tree interaction between
console and tty layer sits in the ->device() method of struct console.
It takes a pointer to console and returns device number of its tty
device. open(2) on /dev/console goes through the list of registered
consoles, picks the first one that has ->device() and remaps the device
number to console->device(console). Then it proceeds with normal
opening of tty. This is the only caller of ->device().
Cleanup: let ->device() return a pair (pointer to tty_driver, index
of tty in question) instead of device number. Note that
a) the first thing tty_open() does with remapped device number is
conversion to such pair.
b) console driver _knows_ which tty_driver we want - one that
implements tty interface to the same physical device (i.e. the part of
the same driver).
c) current code expects the result of ->device() to be a device
number of tty device - anything else is immediate -ENODEV from tty_open();
might as well have NULL ->device in that driver.
Console drivers converted, (the only) caller updated.
|
|
tty->tty_index added; we initialize it with minor(tty->device) -
tty->driver->minor_start. Majority of remaining tty->device uses had
that form and are switched to use of tty->index.
|
|
new field - tty->tty_name;
initialized to <driver->name><tty index+driver->base_name>
when we allocate tty_struct. Drivers code switched to use of that
beast (in debugging printks, mostly). Large, but trivial.
|
|
Instead of copying tty_driver into tty_struct we put a reference
in there. tty->driver turned into a pointer, users updated. Large, but
trivial

Dave Woodhouse did this a while ago and its been kicking around in my
tree just fine. This gets rid of a lot of the init lists of functions
still left in the kernel by having an __init type array built up for the
consoles as well
|
|
One of the goals of the whole new modversions implementation:
export-objs is gone for good!

As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error
return, I would like to submit my patch to drivers/sgi/char/usema.c
This module did not check the return code of misc_register. I found Uttam
Pawar's patch for this on GeoCrawler
(http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/9221/2002/8/0/9246517/), but it
doesn't appear to have been applied. This patch basically does exactly the
same as his, so all credit is due to him.

Cleanup patch from Hollis Blanchard <hollis@austin.ibm.com>
We have a large number of private implementations of BIN_TO_BCD and
BCD_TO_BIN, which are all the same. And a lot of them are inflexible because
they modify their arg:
#define BIN_TO_BCD(val) ((val)=(((val)/10)<<4) + (val)%10)
- Create (in <linux/bcd.h> a generic BIN2BCD/BCD2BIN which does not modify
its arg
- Create generic BIN_TO_BCD/BCD_TO_BIN which uses the above
- Update lots of callers to use the new generic version.

Makefiles no longer need to include Rules.make, which is currently an
empty file. This patch removes it from the drivers tree Makefiles.

switched to explicit devfs_register()/devfs_remove()

This adds the driver config files. (part 2)

This used to be a macro wrapper around get_zeroed_page().
It was a dreadful choice of name, because it hid the fact that this
function memsets the page. Probably, lots of the callers didn't
actually want to do that but this patch does not make such
optimisations.
At least now, people may spot a `get_zeroed_page' in there and realise
that the page doesn't actually need to be initialised.
The patch also changes get_zeroed_page() to go BUG if called with
__GFP_HIGHMEM. It returns the address of the page's memory and hence
can only be used for direct-mapped pages (wli).
|
|
Use register_chrdev and unregister_chrdev as before, and everything will work.
|
|
This patch cleans up most of the Makefile's to list the correct files
(i.e. the ones which do have "EXPORT_SYMBOL" in them) in $(export-objs)

Symbol CONFIG_SGI_NEWPORT_GFX depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
not say so in its banner.

We use O_TARGET everywhere else, so let's just convert the remaining
users (They get the implicit built-in.o O_TARGET now)
|
|
Remove buffermem_pages showing from sgi serial code (debug only).
|
|
Remove show_buffers(). It really has nothing to show any more. just
buffermem_pages() - move that out into the callers.
There's a lot of duplication in this code. better approach would be to
remove all the duplicated code out in the architectures and implement
generic show_memory_state(). Later.

enables the allocation of the pagetables in highmem.
