2008-12-16powerpc/ps3: Add sub-match id modalias supportGeert Uytterhoeven
commit 059e4938f8b060b10c4352e6c45739473bc73267 ("powerpc/ps3: Add a sub-match id to ps3_system_bus") forgot to update the module alias support: - Add the sub-match ids to the module aliases, so udev can distinguish between different types of sub-devices. - Rename PS3_MODULE_ALIAS_GRAPHICS to PS3_MODULE_ALIAS_GPU_FB, as ps3fb binds to the "FB" sub-device.

2008-01-11ps3fb: fix deadlock on kexec()Jeremy Kerr
Since the introduction of the acquire_console_sem calls in 0333d83509c7d8496c8965b5ba9bc0c98e83c259, kexecing can cause the kernel to deadlock: ps3fb_shutdown() -> unregister_framebuffer() -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_FB_UNBIND) -> fbcon_fb_unbind() -> unbind_con_driver() -> bind_con_driver() [ acquires console_sem ] -> fbcon_deinit() -> fbops->fb_release(newinfo, 0) -> ps3fb_release() -> ps3fb_sync() [ acquires console_sem ] This change avoids the deadlock by moving the acquire_console_sem() out of ps3fb_sync(), and puts it into the two other callsites, leaving ps3fb_release() to call ps3fb_sync() without the console semaphore. [Geert] - Corrected call sequence above - ps3fb_release() may be called with and without console_sem held. This is an inconsistency that should be fixed at the fb level, but for now, try to acquire console_sem in ps3fb_release(). I think it's safer to let ps3fb_release() try to acquire console_sem and not refresh the screen if it fails, than to call ps3fb_sync() without holding console_sem, as ps3fb_par may be modified at the same time, causing crashes or lockups. Besides, ps3fb_release() only calls ps3fb_sync() to refresh the screen when display flipping is disabled, which is an uncommon case (except during shutdown/kexec).

2008-01-11ps3fb: prevent use after free of fb_infoJeremy Kerr

2007-10-16ps3fb: enhance horizontal panning on firmware 1.90 and upGeert Uytterhoeven
ps3fb: Enhance horizontal panning on firmware 1.90 and up: - On firmware 1.90 and up, L1GPU_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_FB_BLIT supports copying rectangles from XDR to DDR memory with different source and destination line lengths. Hence larger horizontal virtual resolutions can be supported (up to 16368 pixels). - As the actual frame buffer memory layout no longer matches the entries in ps3fb_res[], create fake struct ps3fb_ioctl_res data for the PS3FB_IOCTL_SCREENINFO ioctl, so user space applications that depend on it keep on working.

Enabling a virtual screen (using `fbset -vyres nnn') can speed up text console scrolling by a factor of 10-15, depending on the video mode.

ps3fb: In the case of non-fullscreen video modes, there was a partial overlap of the GPU command buffer and the frame buffer. Fix and cleanup various issues with overlap and alignment: - Move the GPU command buffer from the beginning to the end of video memory - Exclude the GPU command buffer from the actual frame buffer memory - Align the start of the virtual frame buffer to PAGE_SIZE instead of to 64 KiB, and don't waste memory if it's already aligned (for fullscreen modes) - Take into account the alignment when checking memory requirements and maximum number of frames - Make sure fb_fix_screeninfo.smem_start always points to the virtual frame buffer start, so we don't have to compensate for that in ps3fb_mmap() Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> Cc: "Antonino A.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
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.
