2005-07-29[PATCH] fbdev: Replace memcpy with for-loop when preparing bitmapAntonino A. Daplas
Do not use memcpy in fb_pad_aligned_buffer. It is suboptimal because only a few bytes are moved at a time. Replace with a for-loop. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-07-27[PATCH] clean up inline static vs static inlineJesper Juhl
`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of the declaration. This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in 47 files). While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.

2005-07-27[PATCH] fbdev: update info->cmap when setting cmap from user-/kernelspace.Michal Januszewski
The fb_info struct, as defined in include/linux/fb.h, contains an element that is supposed to hold the current color map: struct fb_cmap cmap; /* Current cmap */ This cmap is currently never updated when either fb_set_cmap() or fb_set_user_cmap() are called. As a result, info->cmap contains the default cmap that was set by a device driver/fbcon and a userspace application using the FBIOGETCMAP ioctl will not always get the *currently* used color map. The patch fixes this by making sure the cmap is copied to info->cmap after it is set correctly. It moves most of the code that is responsible for setting the cmap to fb_set_cmap() and out of fb_set_user_cmap() to avoid code-duplication.

2005-07-27[PATCH] fbcon: don't repaint the cursor when it is disabled.Michal Januszewski
Currently even when the cursor is disabled (`setterm -cursor off`), it is still repainted as a black rectangle the size of a single char. This can be seen, for example, by chvt'ing to a free tty, disabling the cursor and doing `dd if=3D/dev/urandom of=3D/dev/fb0`. The patch changes this behaviour by avoiding painting anything when the cursor is disabled.

The Epson s1d13806 is already supported by 2.6.12 kernel, and its driver is placed as drivers/video/s1d13xxxfb.c. For the m32r, a header file include/asm-m32r/s1d13806.h was prepared for several m32r target platforms.

2005-06-21[PATCH] I2C: Kill address ranges in non-sensors i2c chip driversJean Delvare
Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size shrink for all these drivers). Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers. These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one in parts. A documentation update is included. The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which do not. This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors i2c code (and we want to do this).

2005-06-21[PATCH] VGA to fbcon fix.James Simmons
Currently when going from vgacon to fbcon the VT screenbuffer are often different sizes. In the case when they are different sizes a new VT screenbuffer is allocated and the contents are copied into the new buffer. Currently the amount copied from VGA text memory to the new screenbuf is the size of the framebuffer console. If the framebuffer console new VT screen buffer is greater than the VGA text memory size then we get some of the VGA BIOS contents as well. This patch will only allow you to copy up to the size of VGA text memory now. The rest is filled with erase characters.

2005-06-21[PATCH] s1d13xxxfb linkage fixAndrew Morton
s1d13xxxfb_remove() is referenced from s1d13xxxfb_probe(), which is marked __devinit(). So s1d13xxxfb_remove() cannot be marked __devexit. Does this all make sense? Clearly the __devexit section will still be in core when the __devinit code is run, if the driver was loaded as a module. But I suppose that if the driver is statically linked, the __devexit section might be dropped early in boot. Still, we wouldn't drop __devexit prior to initcall completion, at which point the __devinit code has all been run anyway. verdict: this code was legal and made sense. Is this a generic problem, or an arm-specific problem?

2005-06-12[PATCH] radeonfb: don't blow up VGA console on loadBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The current radeonfb memset's the framebuffer to 0 when loaded. This removes occasional artifacts but has the nasty side effect that if you load radeonfb without framebuffer console, you destroy the VGA text buffer, font, etc... radeon must not touch the framebuffer content when it doesn't "own" it.

2005-05-28[PATCH] intelfb section fixPatrick McManus
On Nov 16 2004 a change to intelfbdrv.c was commited (as part of 0.9.2 it looks like) that added __initdata to all of the module param variables that seems to create the opportunity for an oops. I've recently been chasing an OOPS (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111552250920370&w=2) I created by reading every file on the /sys file system and I've traced it back to this code in the intelfbdrv. Though I had root privs in my initial problem report, it turns out they are un-necessary to generate the oops - all you've got to do is "cat /sys/module/intelfb/parameters/mode" enough times and eventually it will oops. This is because sysfs automatically exports all module_param declarations to the sysfs file system.. which means those variables can be dynamically evaluated at any later time, which of course means marking them __initdata is a bad idea ;).. when they happen to be char *'s it is an especially bad idea ;). Applying the patch below clears up the OOPS for me.

[hv]sync[12] are __initdata, causing mplayer to oops with the previous i810fb fix. My fault, this fixes it. Sorry. Signed-off-by: Linux Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.
