      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.

      sparc: Kill PROM console driver. · 09d3f3f0
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
      days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
      in any situation.
      
      Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
      bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
      
      If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
      depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
      of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
      so there are no excuses.

      [PATCH] fbcon: Console Rotation - Prepare fbcon for console rotation · e4fc2761
      Antonino A. Daplas 提交于
      This patch series implements generic code to rotate the console at 90, 180,
      and 270 degrees. The implementation is completely done in the framebuffer
      console level, thus no changes to the framebuffer layer or to the drivers
      are needed.
      
      Console rotation is required by some Sharp-based devices where the natural
      orientation of the display is not at 0 degrees. Also, users that have
      displays that can pivot will benefit by having a console in portrait mode
      if they so desire.
      
      The choice to implement the code in the console layer rather than in the
      framebuffer layer is due to the following reasons:
      
      - it's fast
      - it does not require driver changes
      - it can coexist with devices that can rotate the display at the hardware level
      - it complements graphics applications that can do display rotation
      
      The changes to core fbcon are minimal-- recognition of the console
      rotation angle so it can swap directions, origins and axes (xres vs yres,
      xpanstep vs ypanstep, xoffset vs yoffset, etc) and storage of the rotation
      angle per display. The bulk of the code that does the actual drawing to the
      screen are placed in separate files. Each angle of rotation has separate
      methods (bmove, clear, putcs, cursor, update_start which is derived from
      update_var, and clear_margins).  To mimimize processing time, the fontdata
      are pre-rotated at each console switch (only if the font or the angle has
      changed).
      
      The option can be compiled out (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION = n) if
      rotation is not needed.
      
      Choosing the rotation angle can be done in several ways:
      
      1. boot option fbcon=rotate:n, where
           n = 0 - normal
           n = 1 - 90 degrees (clockwise)
           n = 2 - 180 degrees (upside down)
           n = 3 - 270 degrees (counterclockwise)
      
      2. echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate
      
           where n is the same as described above. It sets the angle of rotation
      of the current console
      
      3 echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate_all
      
           where n is the same as described above. Globally sets the angle of
      rotation.
      
      GOTCHAS:
      
      	The option, especially at angles of 90 and 270 degrees, will exercise
      the least used code of drivers.  Namely, at these angles, panning is done
      in the x-axis, so it can reveal bugs in the driver if xpanstep is set
      incorrectly. A workaround is to set xpanstep = 0.
      
      	Secondly, at these angles, the framebuffer memory access can be
      unaligned if (fontheight * bpp) % 32 ~= 0 which can reveal bugs in the drivers
      imageblit, fillrect and copyarea functions.  (I think cfbfillrect may have
      this buglet). A workaround is to use a standard 8x16 font.
      
      Speed:
      
      	The scrolling speed difference between 0 and 180 degrees is minimal,
      somewhere areound 1-2%.  At 90 or 270 degress, speed drops down to a vicinity
      of 30-40%. This is understandable because the blit direction is across the
      framebuffer "direction." Scrolling will be helped at these angles if xpanstep
      is not equal to zero, use of 8x16 fonts, and setting xres_virtual >= xres * 2.
      
      Note: The code is tested on little-endian only, so I don't know if it will
      work in big-endian. Please let me know, it will take only less than a minute
      of your time.
      
      This patch prepares fbcon for console rotation and contains the following
      changes:
      
      - add rotate field in struct fbcon_ops to keep fbcon's current rotation
        angle
      
      - add con_rotate field in struct display to store per-display rotation angle
      
      - create a private copy of the current var to fbcon.  This will prevent
        fbcon from directly manipulating info->var, especially the fields xoffset,
        yoffset and vmode.
      
      - add ability to swap pertinent axes (xres, yres; xpanstep, ypanstep; etc)
        depending on the rotation angle
      
      - change global update_var() (function that sets the screen start address)
        as an fbcon method update_start.  This is required because the axes, start
        offset, and/or direction can be reversed depending on the rotation angle.
      
      - add fbcon method rotate_font() which will rotate each character bitmap to
        the correct angle of rotation.
      
      - add fbcon boot option 'rotate' to select the angle of rotation at bootime.
         Currently does nothing until all patches are applied.

      [PATCH] USB: sisusb[vga] update · 1bbb4f20
      Thomas Winischhofer 提交于
      here is a new and extended version of the sisusbvga (previously: sisusb)
      driver. The patch is against 2.6.13 and updates the driver to version 0.0.8.
      
      Additions include complete VGA/EGA text console support and a build-in
      display mode infrastructure for userland applications that don't know
       about the graphics internals.
      
      Fixes include some BE/LE issues and a get/put_dev bug in the previous
      version.
      
      Other changes include a change of the module name from "sisusb" to
      "sisusbvga". The previous one was too generic IMHO.
      
      Please note that the patch also affects the Makefile in
      drivers/video/console as the driver requires the VGA 8x16 font in case
      the text console part is selected.
      
      Heavily tested, as usual. Please apply.
      
      One thing though: I already prepared for removal of the "mode" field and
      the changed "name" field in the usb_class_driver structure. This will
      perhaps need some refinement depending on whether you/Linus merge the
      respective core changes before or after 2.6.14.

      [PATCH] New framebuffer fonts + updated 12x22 font available · 303b86d9
      Jurriaan 提交于
      Improve the fonts for use with the framebuffer.
      
      I've added all the characters marked 'FIXME' in the sun12x22 font and
      created a 10x18 font (based on the sun12x22 font) and a 7x14 font (based
      on the vga8x16 font).
      
      This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default so most
      users won't notice a thing.
      
      I am placing my changes under the GPL, however, I've not seen any copyright
      notices on the sun12x22 font and the vga8x16 font which I derived my new
      fonts from so I don't know what the copyright status is.

      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!
