[PATCH] ppc32: Tell userland about lack of standard TB

2005-10-12T15:24:47+00:00

Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.

However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...

This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase.  It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57+00:00

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[PATCH] ppc64: SMU driver update & i2c support

2005-09-23T05:17:35+00:00

The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5.  It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...

The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously.  This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors.  This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

[PATCH] Remove unused var from asm/futex.h

2005-09-21T23:16:29+00:00

As recently done by Russell King for ARM, commit
4732efbeb997189d9f9b04708dc26bf8613ed721 introduces a generic asm/futex.h copied
along most arches, which includes a "-ENOSYS support" to be changed if needed.
However, it includes an unused var (taken from the "real" version) which GCC
warns about.

Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id).
$ git-diff-tree -r HEAD
and
$ git-ls-tree  -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce1424bc390608326240be369eb13aa648

may be more interesting than looking at the patch itself, to make sure I've
just copied the arm header to all other archs having the original dummy version
of this file.

[PATCH] ppc32: Add ppc_sys descriptions for PowerQUICC I devices

2005-09-17T18:50:01+00:00

Added ppc_sys device and system definitions for PowerQUICC I devices.  This
will allow drivers for PQI to be proper platform device drivers.  Currently
sys section contains only MPC885 and MPC866.  Identification should be done
with identify_ppc_sys_by_name call, with board-specific "name" string
passed, since PQI do not have any register that could identify the SOC.

2005-09-14T21:34:17+00:00

On 8xx flush_tlb_range() declaration is using a "struct mm_struct *"
pointer type while the function itself uses "struct vm_area_struct *".
