Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

char/nvram: Implement NVRAM read/write methods Refactor the RTC "CMOS" NVRAM functions so that they can be used as arch_nvram_ops methods. Checksumming logic is moved from the misc device operations to the nvram read/write operations. This makes the misc device implementation more generic. This preserves the locking mechanism such that "read if checksum valid" and "write and update checksum" remain atomic operations. Some platforms implement byte-range read/write methods which are similar to file_operations struct methods. Other platforms provide only byte-at-a-time methods. The former are more efficient but may be unavailable so fall back on the latter methods when necessary.

drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. These drivers do not seem to be under active maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies to those maintainers that I have missed. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ { /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\<smp_lock.h\>/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

char/nvram: Adopt arch_nvram_ops NVRAMs on different platforms and architectures have different attributes and access methods. E.g. some platforms have byte-at-a-time accessor functions while others have byte-range accessor functions. Some have checksum functionality while others do not. By calling ops struct methods via the common wrapper functions, the nvram module and other drivers can make use of the available NVRAM functionality in a portable way.

char/nvram: Implement NVRAM read/write methods Refactor the RTC "CMOS" NVRAM functions so that they can be used as arch_nvram_ops methods. Checksumming logic is moved from the misc device operations to the nvram read/write operations. This makes the misc device implementation more generic. This preserves the locking mechanism such that "read if checksum valid" and "write and update checksum" remain atomic operations. Some platforms implement byte-range read/write methods which are similar to file_operations struct methods. Other platforms provide only byte-at-a-time methods.

powerpc: Adopt nvram module for PPC64 Adopt nvram module to reduce code duplication. This means CONFIG_NVRAM becomes available to PPC64 builds. Previously it was only available to PPC32 builds because it depended on CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM. The IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl as implemented on PPC64 validates the offset returned by pmac_get_partition(). Do the same in the nvram module. Note that the old PPC32 generic_nvram module lacked this test. So when CONFIG_PPC32 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned 0 (always). But when CONFIG_PPC64 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned -1 (which is -EPERM) when the requested partition was not found. With this patch, the result is now -EINVAL on both PPC32 and PPC64 when the requested PowerMac NVRAM partition is not found.

All platform-specific nvram operations already provide their own internal synchronization, meaning the wrapper-level mutex does not provide any additional safety. Remove the nvram_mutex definition along with all remaining lock/unlock users across PPC32, x86, and m68k code paths, and rely entirely on the per-architecture nvram implementations for locking.

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.

char/nvram: Remove redundant nvram_mutex The global nvram_mutex in drivers/char/nvram.c is redundant and unused, and this triggers compiler warnings on some configurations. All platform-specific nvram operations already provide their own internal synchronization, meaning the wrapper-level mutex does not provide any additional safety. Remove the nvram_mutex definition along with all remaining lock/unlock users across PPC32, x86, and m68k code paths, and rely entirely on the per-architecture nvram implementations for locking.

char/nvram: Allow the set_checksum and initialize ioctls to be omitted The drivers/char/nvram.c module has previously supported only RTC "CMOS" NVRAM, for which it provides appropriate checksum ioctls. Make these ioctls optional so the module can be re-used with other kinds of NVRAM. The ops struct methods that implement the ioctls now return error codes so that a multi-platform kernel binary can do the right thing when running on hardware without a suitable NVRAM.

char/nvram: Adopt arch_nvram_ops NVRAMs on different platforms and architectures have different attributes and access methods. E.g. some platforms have byte-at-a-time accessor functions while others have byte-range accessor functions. Some have checksum functionality while others do not.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

char/nvram: Re-order functions to remove forward declarations and #ifdefs Also give functions more sensible names: nvram_misc_* for misc device ops, nvram_proc_* for proc file ops and nvram_module_* for init and exit functions.

char/nvram: Adopt arch_nvram_ops NVRAMs on different platforms and architectures have different attributes and access methods. E.g. some platforms have byte-at-a-time accessor functions while others have byte-range accessor functions. Some have checksum functionality while others do not. By calling ops struct methods via the common wrapper functions, the nvram module and other drivers can make use of the available NVRAM functionality in a portable way.
