video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev

2014-04-17T05:10:19+00:00

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.

Merge tag 'fbdev-3.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tomba/linux

2013-11-14T05:44:20+00:00

Pull fbdev changes from Tomi Valkeinen:
 "Nothing particularly stands out in this pull request.  The biggest
  part of the changes are cleanups.

  Maybe one fix to mention is the "fb: reorder the lock sequence to fix
  potential dead lock" which hopefully fixes the fb locking issues
  reported by multiple persons.

  There are also a few commits that have changes to arch/arm/mach-at91
  and arch/avr32, which have been acked by the maintainers"

parisc: sticon - unbreak on 64bit kernel

2013-11-07T21:46:20+00:00

STI text console (sticon) was broken on 64bit machines with more than
4GB RAM and this lead in some cases to a kernel crash.

Since sticon uses the 32bit STI API it needs to keep pointers to memory
below 4GB. But on a 64bit kernel some memory regions (e.g. the kernel
stack) might be above 4GB which then may crash the kernel in the STI
functions.

Additionally sticon didn't selected the built-in framebuffer fonts by
default. This is now fixed.

On a side-note: Theoretically we could enhance the sticon driver to
use the 64bit STI API. But - beside the fact that some machines don't
provide a 64bit STI ROM - this would just add complexity.

Remove multiple KERN_ prefixes from printk formats

2009-07-08T17:30:03+00:00

Commit 5fd29d6ccbc98884569d6f3105aeca70858b3e0f ("printk: clean up
handling of log-levels and newlines") changed printk semantics.  printk
lines with multiple KERN_ prefixes are no longer emitted as
before the patch.

 is now included in the output on each additional use.

Remove all uses of multiple KERN_s in formats.
