2008-07-20Subject: devmem, x86: fix rename of CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEMIngo Molnar
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:47:17 -0700 CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, so that architectures can opt-in into it. ( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the infastructure yet to support this feature) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: "V.Radhakrishnan" <rk@atr-labs.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> ---

2008-07-18x86: rename CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEMIngo Molnar
Linus observed: > The real bug is that we shouldn't have "double negatives", and > certainly not negative config options. Making that "promiscuous > /dev/mem" option a negated thing as a config option was bad. right ... lets rename this option. There should never be a negation in config options. [ that reminds me of CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER, but that is for another commit ;-) ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-07-15powerpc: Add driver for Barrier Synchronization RegisterSonny Rao
Adds a character driver for BSR support on IBM POWER systems including Power5 and Power6. The BSR is an optional processor facility not currently implemented by any other processors. It's primary purpose is fast large SMP synchronization. More details on the BSR are in comments to the code which follows. This patch adds BSR driver to pseries_defconfig.

2008-07-14drm: reorganise drm tree to be more future proof.Dave Airlie
With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff, the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and starting to be unmanageable. This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components. It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

2008-07-10rtc: fix reported IRQ rate for when HPET is enabledPaul Gortmaker
The IRQ rate reported back by the RTC is incorrect when HPET is enabled. Newer hardware that has HPET to emulate the legacy RTC device gets this value wrong since after it sets the rate, it returns before setting the variable used to report the IRQ rate back to users of the device -- so the set rate and the reported rate get out of sync.

When scheduled swaps occur, we need to blit between front & back buffers. If the buffers are tiled, we need to set the appropriate XY_SRC_COPY tile bit, but only on 965 chips, since it will cause corruption on pre-965 (e.g. 945).
