2008-04-29make /dev/kmem a config optionArjan van de Ven
Make /dev/kmem a config option; /dev/kmem is VERY rarely used, and when used, it's generally for no good (rootkits tend to be the most common users). With this config option, users have the choice to disable /dev/kmem, saving some size as well. A patch to disable /dev/kmem has been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for 4+ years now without any known problems or legit users of /dev/kmem.

2008-04-28rtc: avoid legacy drivers with generic frameworkDavid Brownell
Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled: - If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver; - When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default; - In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when the generic framework is in use. People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to. This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver. Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial list of ones where it won't. Or better yet, it would depend on a "HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ... surely there's a Kconfig style guideline lurking there.

2008-02-06riscom8: fix SMP brokennessJeff Garzik
After analyzing the elements that save_flags/cli/sti/restore_flags were protecting, convert their usages to a global spinlock (the easiest and most obvious next-step). There were some usages of flags being intentionally cached, because the code already knew the state of interrupts. These have been taken into account. This allows us to remove CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP.

2008-02-06[POWERPC] Xilinx: hwicap driverStephen Neuendorffer
This includes code for new fifo-based xps_hwicap in addition to the older opb_hwicap, which has a significantly different interface. The common code between the two drivers is largely shared. Significant differences exists between this driver and what is supported in the EDK drivers. In particular, most of the architecture-specific code for reconfiguring individual FPGA resources has been removed. This functionality is likely better provided in a user-space support library. In addition, read and write access is supported. In addition, although the xps_hwicap cores support interrupt-driver mode, this driver only supports polled operation, in order to make the code simpler, and since the interrupt processing overhead is likely to slow down the throughput under Linux.

2007-07-18zs: move to the serial subsystemMaciej W. Rozycki
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.
