* | | [PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSesDavid Vrabel2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video device. Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by the BIOS. This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs mean. I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

* | | [PATCH] neofb: take existing display configuration as defaultChristian Trefzer2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an external monitor by the neomagic framebuffer driver, namely when the laptop is docked in a C/Dock II with the lid shut. A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the "external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only". An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being the only solution. The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module parameter.

* | | [PATCH] dell_rbu: fix Bug 5854Abhay Salunke2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5854 Root cause: The dell_rbu driver creates entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ by calling request_firmware_nowait (without hotplug ) this function inturn starts a kernel thread which creates the entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading , data and the thread waits on the user action to return control back to the callback fucntion of dell_rbu. The thread calls wait_on_completion which puts it in a D state until the user action happens. If there is no user action happening the load average goes up as the thread D state is taken in to account. Also after downloading the BIOS image the enrties go away momentarily but they are recreated from the callback function in dell_rbu. This causes the thread to get recreated causing the load average to permenently stay around 1. Fix: The dell_rbu also creates the entry /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type at driver load time. The image type by default is mono if required the user can echo packet to image_type to make the BIOS update mechanism using packets. Also by echoing init in to image_type the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries can be created. The driver code was changed to not create /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries during load time, and also to not create the above entries from the callback function. The entries are only created by echoing init to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type The user now needs to create the entries to download the image monolithic or packet. This fixes the issue since the kernel thread only is created when ever the user is ready to download the BIOS image; this minimizes the life span of the kernel thread and the load average goes back to normal.

* | | [PATCH] Watchdog: Winsystems EPX-C3 SBCCalin A. Culianu2006-01-14

Driver details: This is for x86 only. This watchdog is pretty basic and simple. It is only configurable via jumpers on the SBC, and it only has either a 1.5s or 200s interval. The watchdog can either be auto-configured to start as soon as the machine powers up (bad idea for the 1.5s interval!) or it can be enabled and disabled by writing to io port 0x1ee. Petting the watchdog involves writing any value to io port 0x1ef. The only unfortunate thing about this watchdog (and it is not at all uncommmon in watchdogs that linux supports) is that it is not a PCI or ISA-PNP device and as such it isn't at all probeable. Either the watchdog exists as 2 bytes at 0x1ee, or it doesn't. Thus, using this driver on a machine that doesn't have that watchdog can potentially hang/crash the system, etc. So only use this driver if you in fact are on a Winsystems EPX-C3 SBC. Anyway this driver fits into the already-existing watchdog framework quite nicely and I already tested it on my EPX-C3 and it works like a charm. Signed-off-by: Calin A.

I found that the delay was occurring when loading the new firmware into the card, and was due to a schedule_timeout(10) added to the bottom of the polling loop. Some testing showed that the load ram operation on the card was very quick (on the order of a couple of jiffies), but the sleep in the polling loop was making each operation take around 25-30. The attached patch corrects this by making it skip sleeping during the load ram operation, since I believe we only do that when the module is plugged in. It also skips sleeping if the mbox_int flag got set during the current loop. This corrected the hang on my test setup, and OEM also confirmed that it corrected the problem for them.
