| * watchdog: Add a simple mmap() stub for shwdt.Paul Mundt2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some applications people have expressed a need for an mmap() method, so we implement a simple stub for this that maps back a page with the counter in it. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

| * [AGPGART] Rework AGPv3 modesetting fallback.Dave Jones2006-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes the logic to handle AGPx8->AGPx4 fallback failed, as can be seen in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197346 The failures occured if the bridge was in AGPx8 mode, but the user hadn't specified a mode in their X config. We weren't setting the mode to the highest mode capable by the video card+bridge (as we do in the AGPv2 case), which was leading to all kinds of mayhem including us believing that after falling back from AGPx8, that we couldn't do x4 mode (which is disastrous in AGPv3, as those are the only two modes possible).

On systems that happen to be configured for both ttyS0 and hvc0 console, this will keep flooding the console output. This is most likely to happen with systems booted between with and without hypervisor from the same filesystem. Let's just remove it. When it's really needed (i.e. when the open fails and someone is trying to debug it), noone will see the output anyway. And init will report the opens failing in due time through the syslog.

But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested) patch: Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this lock fixed the problem. Alan sayeth: Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for neatness.
