2006-09-30kconfig/lxdialog: clear long menu linesSam Ravnborg
Menulines that were wider than the available line width is now properly null terminated. While at it renamed the variable choice => line_y so it better reflect the usage in do_print_item(). Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-09-30kbuild: do not build mconf & lxdialog unless neededSam Ravnborg
Due to a limitation in kbuild all objects referred by xxx-y or xxx-objs will be build when one of the targets needs to e build. This caused lxdialog to be build pulling in ncurses that is not always available. So avoid building mconf & lxdialog unless really needed. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-09-30kconfig/lxdialog: support resizeSam Ravnborg
In all dialogs now properly catch KEY_RESIZE and take proper action. In mconf try to behave sensibly when a dialog routine returns -ERRDISPLAYTOOSMALL. The original check for a screnn size of 80x19 is kept for now. It may make sense to remove it later, but thats anyway what much text is adjusted for. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-09-30kconfig/lxdialog: let <ESC><ESC> behave as expectedSam Ravnborg
<ESC><ESC> is used to step one back in the dialogs. When lxdialog became built-in pressing <ESC> once would cause one step back and pressing <ESC><ESC> would cause two steps back. This patch - based on concept from Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> - makes one <ESC> a noop and pressing <ESC><ESC> will cause one step backward. In addition the final yes/no dialog now has the option to go back to the the kernel configuration. So if you get too far out you can now go back to configuring the kernel without saving and starting all over again. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-09-30kconfig/menuconfig: lxdialog is now built-inSam Ravnborg
lxdialog was previously called as an external program causing screen to flicker when used. With this patch lxdialog is now built-in. It is loosly based om previous work by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz> Following is a list of changes: o Moved build of dialog routings to kconfig Makefile o menubox + checklist uses a new item list to hold all menu items o in util.c implmented helper function to deal with item list o menubox now uses parameters to save scroll state (avoids temp file) o textbox now get text to be displayed as parameter and not a file o make sure to properly delete subwin's before main windows o killed unused files: lxdialog.c msgbox.c o modified return value for ESC to match direct calling o in a few places the code has been adjusted to 80 char wide o in textbox a small refactoring was made to make code remotely readable o in mconf removed all unused stuff (functions/variables) Following is a list of know short comings: a) pressing ESC twice will be interpreted as two ESC presses b) resize does not work. menuconfig needs to be restarted to be adjusted Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-09-30kconfig/lxdialog: add a new theme bluetitle which is now defaultSam Ravnborg
The bluetitle theme is a slightly modified version of the colorscheme that -mm users has been used to. The bluetitle is more readable especially on some LCD screens so it is now default. Anyone that really wants the old color selection can get it by selecting the classic color theme: make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=classic menuconfig The bluetitle theme was modified by Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> to further improve readability on LCD screens.

2006-09-27[PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes supportMichael Tokarev
Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and (at least some) EISA-aware modules. The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC): eisa:sTCM5093 and the in-module alias like: eisa:sTCM5093* The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated. There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those maps are obsolete anyway. The rationale for this patch is: a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias support, to unify driver loading b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;) [akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit] Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Acked-the-net-bits-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Acked-the-tulip-bit-by: Valerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-26[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich
Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-09-20[S390] zcrypt adjunct processor bus.Martin Schwidefsky
Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ (see poll_thread parameter). The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes, ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between two ap bus scans to find new devices. The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are: 3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

2006-09-16[PATCH] Fix 'make headers_check' on biarch architecturesDavid Woodhouse
We generate an <asm/foo.h> which includes either <asm-$ARCH/foo.h> or <asm-$ALTARCH/foo.h> as appropriate. But we were doing this dependent on whether the file in question existed in the _unexported_ tree, not the exported tree. So if a file was exported to userspace in one asm- directory but not the other, the generated file in asm/ was incorrect. This only changed the failure mode if it _was_ included from a nice #error to a less explicable #include failure -- but it also gave false errors in 'make headers_check' output. Fix it by looking in the right place instead.

2006-08-15[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix: modpost-64bit-fix.patchHans de Goede
There is a small but annoying bug in scripts/mod/file2alias.c which causes it to generate invalid aliases for input devices on 64 bit archs. This causes joydev.ko to not be automaticly loaded when inserting a joystick, resulting in a non working joystick (for the average user). In scripts/mod/file2alias.c is the following code for generating the input aliases: static void do_input(char *alias, kernel_ulong_t *arr, unsigned int min, unsigned int max) { unsigned int i; for (i = min; i < max; i++) if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG))) sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i); } On 32 bits systems, this correctly generates "0,*" for the first alias, "8,*" for the second etc. However on 64 bits it generates: "0,*20,*" resp "8,*28,*" Notice how it adds 20 + first entry (hex) ! to the list of hex codes, which is 32 more then the first entry, thus is because the bit test above wraps at 32 bits instead of 64. scripts/mod/file2alias.c, line 379 reads: if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG))) That should be: if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1L << (i%BITS_PER_LONG))) Notice the added 'L' after the 1, otherwise that is an 32 bit int instead of a 64 bit long, and when that int gets shifted >= 32 times, appearantly the number by which to shift is wrapped at 5 bits ( % 32) causing it to test a bit 32 bits too low.

2006-07-31[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

2006-07-03kbuild: introduce utsrelease.hSam Ravnborg
include/linux/version.h contained both actual KERNEL version and UTS_RELEASE that contains a subset from git SHA1 for when kernel was compiled as part of a git repository. This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1. Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files. Also update checkversion.pl script to no longer check for UTS_RELEASE. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
