* [PATCH] i810fb: Cleanup I2C codeAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | - The functions for reading the 1st and 2nd bus are essentially the same, except for the register. Consolidate them all. - According to Nicolas Boichat, there is an undocumented 3rd i2c bus for attaching daughter cards. Add support for this.

* [PATCH] vesafb: Disable mtrr as the defaultAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | vesafb occassionally gets the size wrong when setting the mtrr. When X or DRI attempts to set the mtrr, it will fail due to range overlap significantly affecting their performance. Disable mtrr and let the user explicitly enable it with the mtrr:n option.

* [PATCH] fbdev: fix the fb_find_nearest_mode() functionMichal Januszewski2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the fb_find_nearest_mode() function finds a mode with screen resolution closest to that described by the 'var' argument and with some arbitrary refresh rate (eg. in the following sequence of refresh rates: 70 60 53 85 75, 53 is selected). This patch fixes the function so that it looks for the closest mode as far as both resolution and refresh rate are concerned. The function's first argument is changed to fb_videomode so that the refresh rate can be specified by the caller, as fb_var_screeninfo doesn't have any fields that could directly hold this data.

* [PATCH] atyfb: Get initial mode timings from LCD BIOSAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reported by: Jean-Philippe Guérard (Bugzilla Bug 1782) "I've tried with video=atyfb:debug and video=atyfb:debug,mode:1280x600, \ nomtrr. In both case, the screen stays black, but seems divided into 4 vertical bands. Some white lines pop up randomly on each vertical band." The problem is a combination of an incorrect xclk plus lack of timing information. The adapter is attached to an LCD device that can do 1280x600 (which is not a standard resolution). The global mode database does not have an entry for it. Fortunately, the Video BIOS contains the complete timing info for this display, however, atyfb is not making use of it. Add support to get the timing information from the BIOS, if available.

* [PATCH] fbcon: Initialize new driver when old driver is releasedAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | If machine has more than 1 driver installed, and they all drive the same hardware, it's possible that the driver's fb_release() method will attempt to restore the hardware state to the initial state. This will leave the new driver in an undefined state. To prevent this problem, initialize the new driver by calling fb_set_par() when the old driver is released by fbcon.

* [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbconAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.

* [PATCH] nvidiafb: Add flat panel dither supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nvidiafb didn't fully hook-up the code it borrowed from X for doing flat panel dithering (this is useful for 6 bits panels). This adds a driver option to force it, and by default "reads" the current value from the chip to get the firmware setting. It significantly improves the quality of images on the iMac G5 I have here (though the X driver doesn't yet "read" the current value and defaults to 0, so you have to add Option "FBDither" "true" to your X config file to get that, I'll try to fix X.org to "read" the default unless specified asap).

* [PATCH] Kprobes: rearrange preempt_disable/enable() callsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock. With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on multiple processors. All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64 has been compile tested only. The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks: patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler execution. Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford for testing the patches.

* [PATCH] ipmi: fix watchdog timeout panic handlingCorey Minyard2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | If a panic came from the IPMI watchdog pretimeout and that was reported via an NMI, it would also be reported via the standard IPMI flags, which would get picked up when reporting panic events and cause another panic. This adds an atomic to avoid calling panic twice. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] ipmi: use rcu lock for using command receiversCorey Minyard2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Use rcu_read_lock for the cmd_rcvrs list, since that was what what intended, anyway. This means that all the users of the cmd_rcvrs_lock are tasks, so the irq disables are no longer required for that lock and it can become a semaphore.

* [PATCH] ipmi: add timer threadCorey Minyard2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We must poll for responses to commands when interrupts aren't in use. The default poll interval is based on using a kernel timer, which varies with HZ. For character-based interfaces like KCS and SMIC though, that can be way too slow (>15 minutes to flash a new firmware with KCS, >20 seconds to retrieve the sensor list). This creates a low-priority kernel thread to poll more often. If the state machine is idle, so is the kernel thread. But if there's an active command, it polls quite rapidly. This decrease a firmware flash time from 15 minutes to 1.5 minutes, and the sensor list time to 4.5 seconds, on a Dell PowerEdge x8x system. The timer-based polling remains, to ensure some amount of responsiveness even under high user process CPU load. Checking for a stopped timer at rmmod now uses atomics and del_timer_sync() to ensure safe stoppage.

* [PATCH] ipmi: kcs error0 delayCorey Minyard2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BMCs can get into ERROR0 state while flashing new firmware, particularly while the BMC is erasing the next flash block, which may take a just under 2 seconds on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (1.75 seconds typical), during which time the single-threaded firmware may not be able to process new commands. In particular, clearing OBF may not take effect immediately. We want it to delay in ERROR0 after clearing OBF a bit waiting for OBF to actually be clear before proceeding. This introduces a new return value from the LLDD's event loop, SI_SM_CALL_WITH_TICK_DELAY. This means the calling thread/timer should schedule_timeout() at least 1 tick, rather than busy-wait. This is a longer delay than SI_SM_CALL_WITH_DELAY, which is typically a 250us busy-wait.
