      kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT · 6a108a14
      David Rientjes 提交于
      The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
      is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
      only small devices.
      
      This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
      references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
      option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
      can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
      considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
      
      Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
      expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
      are making should enable it.

      FW_LOADER: fix kconfig dependency warning on HOTPLUG · 5fc6e9cb
      Randy Dunlap 提交于
      Fix kconfig dependency warning for FW_LOADER.
      
      Lots of drivers select FW_LOADER without bothering to depend on
      HOTPLUG and/or without selecting HOTPLUG.  A kernel builds fine
      when FW_LOADER is enabled, whether HOTPLUG is enabled or not, and
      a kernel config file (make oldconfig) is not changed by this patch.
      (Yes, drivers/base/firmware_class.c uses interfaces from linux/kobject.h,
      which does have some CONFIG_HOTPLUG dependencies, but this patch does
      not change that.)

      Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev · 2b2af54a
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
      very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
      is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
      device node in devtmpfs.
      
      Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
      and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
      Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
      recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
      The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
      and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
      needs to be applied by userspace.
      
      If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
      when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
      userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
      will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.
      
      If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
      without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
      and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
      With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
      where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.
      
      It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
      by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
      userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
      a working /dev.

      always enable FW_LOADER unless EMBEDDED=y · d9b19199
      Adrian Bunk 提交于
      James Bottomley recently discovered that we have
      {request,release}_firmware() dummies for the case of the actual
      functions not being available and has a fix for the bug that was
      actually causing build errors for built-in users with
      CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m.
      
      But now missing selects on FW_LOADER are no longer visible at
      compile-time at all and can become runtime problems.
      
      FW_LOADER is infrastructure with relatively small codesize we can safely
      enable for everyone, and only for people who really need small kernels
      (and can be expected to know what they are doing) it matters being able
      to disable it.
      
      This patch therefore always sets FW_LOADER=y and allows users only to
      disable it with EMBEDDED=y.
      
      As a bonus, we can then get rid of all "select FW_LOADER" plus the due
      to it required "depends on HOTPLUG" which removes some complexity from
      our Kconfig files.

      devres: device resource management · 9ac7849e
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Implement device resource management, in short, devres.  A device
      driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
      with a release function.  On driver detach, release function is
      invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.
      
      devreses are typed by associated release functions.  Some devreses are
      better represented by single instance of the type while others need
      multiple instances sharing the same release function.  Both usages are
      supported.
      
      devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
      can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
      or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
      ports).
      
      This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
      managed interfaces.
      
      * alloc/free	: devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
      * IO region	: devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
      * IRQ		: devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
      * DMA		: dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
      		  dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
      		  dmam_pool_destroy()
      * PCI		: pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
      * iomap		: devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
      		  devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),

      [PATCH] don't select CONFIG_HOTPLUG · 135c294f
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      It's useful to be able to turn off CONFIG_HOTPLUG for compile-coverage testing
      and for section-checking coverage.  But a few things go and select
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG, making it a royal PITA to turn the thing off.
      
      It's only turnable offable if CONFIG_EMBEDDED anyway.  So let's make those
      things depend on HOTPLUG, not select it.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
