linux.git/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c, branch v2.6.33 Linux kernel source tree powerpc/chrp: Use the same RTAS daemon as pSeries 2009-10-30T06:20:53+00:00 Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org 2009-09-24T19:30:05+00:00 3d541c4b7f6efd55a98189afd1b2f1c9d048c1b3 The CHRP code has some fishy timer based code to scan the RTAS event log, which uses a 1KB stack buffer and doesn't even use the results. The pSeries code as a nicer daemon that allows userspace to read the event log and basically uses the same RTAS interface This patch moves rtasd.c out of platform/pseries and makes it usable by CHRP, after removing the old crufty event log mechanism in there. The nvram logging part of the daemon is still only available on 64-bit since the underlying nvram management routines aren't currently shared.

The CHRP code has some fishy timer based code to scan the RTAS event
log, which uses a 1KB stack buffer and doesn't even use the results.

This patch moves rtasd.c out of platform/pseries and makes it usable
by CHRP, after removing the old crufty event log mechanism in there.

The nvram logging part of the daemon is still only available on 64-bit
since the underlying nvram management routines aren't currently shared.
