      matroxfb: make CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y mandatory · 0728bacb
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just
      always enable it.  There are many reasons for doing this:
      
      * CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it
        definitely works or we would know by now.
      
      * Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set
        results in the following build warning:
      
      drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open':
      drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
      drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release':
      drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
      
      This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build
      warnings are still annoying.
      
      * The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD,
        which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't
        load the same kernel module more than once.
      
      * I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code
        significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says.  A few extra
        parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in
        comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access.
      
      * The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the
        driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%.
      
      * One less configuration option makes things simpler.  We add options
        all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice.  It improves
        testing coverage.  And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still
        popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings.
      
      * We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after
        this change (patches follow.)

      fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking · 537a1bf0
      Krzysztof Helt 提交于
      Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
      semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
      
      Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
      so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used.  Changing of these
      fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
      
      This is 2.6.31 material.  It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
      register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
      register_framebuffer()).  It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
      smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

      i2c: Shrink struct i2c_client · 2096b956
      David Brownell 提交于
      This shrinks the size of "struct i2c_client" by 40 bytes:
      
       - Substantially shrinks the string used to identify the chip type
       - The "flags" don't need to be so big
       - Removes some internal padding
      
      It also adds kerneldoc for that struct, explaining how "name" is really a
      chip type identifier; it's otherwise potentially confusing.
      
      Because the I2C_NAME_SIZE symbol was abused for both i2c_client.name
      and for i2c_adapter.name, this needed to affect i2c_adapter too.  The
      adapters which used that symbol now use the more-obviously-correct
      idiom of taking the size of that field.
      
      JD: Shorten i2c_adapter.name from 50 to 48 bytes while we're here, to
      avoid wasting space in padding.

      [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls · 5cbded58

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      [PATCH] matroxfb: fix DVI setup to be more compatible · 6d39bedc
      Paul A. Clarke 提交于
      There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps
      other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes
      running Linux.  Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in
      a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on
      the physical monitor.  This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have
      easy access to...
      
      I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on
      an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a
      colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32
      box (w/GXT135P).  I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to
      verify that it didn't obviously break anything.  In my testing, I covered
      single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals,
      on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes.  While everything appeared fine on both
      boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D
      output on the ppc64 box.  However, this is also the case without my patch.
      
      I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as
      well.
