2006-01-14[PATCH] powerpc: Add support for the MPC83xx watchdogKumar Gala
Add support for the PowerPC MPC83xx watchdog. The MPC83xx has a simple watchdog that once enabled it can not be stopped, has some simple timeout range selection, and the ability to either reset the processor or take a machine check.

2006-01-14[PATCH] Watchdog: Winsystems EPX-C3 SBCCalin A. Culianu
This is a 2.6 patch that adds support for the watchdog timer built into the EPX-C3 single board computer manufactured by Winsystems, Inc. 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.

2006-01-10[PATCH] TTY layer buffering revampAlan Cox
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out. This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the kernel cycles between them as before. When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means that we can operate at higher speeds reliably. For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud). Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow. The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is read. We thus make it a variable not a function call. I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes. Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any more. Description: tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It does now also return the number of chars inserted There are also tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len) which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to transfer. and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len) to insert a string of characters and flags For a smart interface the usual code is len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says); tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len); More description! At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments) I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O" devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of data suddenely materialise and need storing. So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API but others need more. At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will be needed now is a good time to say int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size) Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change. Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a more efficient way when you know block sizes. int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag) As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0 for failure. int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len) Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted. int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len) Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

2006-01-10[PATCH] Fix console blankingVille Syrjala
Current console blanking code is broken. It will first do a normal blank, then start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0, and then proceed to do the VESA blanking directly. After the timer expires it will do the VESA blanking a second time. Also the vesa_powerdown() function doesn't allow all VESA modes to be used. With this patch the behaviour is: 1. Blank: vesa_off_interval != 0 -> Do normal blank vesa_off_interval == 0 -> Do VESA blank 2. Start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0 and vesa_power_mode != 0. It also gets rid of the limiting vesa_powerdown() function. Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjala <syrjala@sci.fi> Cc: "Antonino A.
