* zs: move to the serial subsystemMaciej W. Rozycki2007-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem. Any resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential. ;-) I do hope I got the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the issue unless you feel too good... Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines have now been swapped, i.e. ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3. It has to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used). Please update your scripts. This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in "/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too). The old driver never got it right... Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

* | Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
