parisc: sticon - unbreak on 64bit kernel

2013-12-04T19:05:04Z

commit 0219132fe7c26574371232b50db085573f6fbd3f upstream. 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. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fbdev: fbcon: select VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING

2013-08-02T23:17:51Z

fbdev provides framebuffer hotplugging, hence, we need to allow fbcon to unbind from framebuffers. Unfortunately, fbcon_fb_unbind() cannot unbind from the last framebuffer, unless console-unbinding is supported. Fixing fbcon_unbind() to return 0 caused some horrible NULL-derefs in the VT layer and I couldn't figure out why. Hence, lets just require console-unbinding so fbdev hotplugging works with fbcon.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie: "Okay this is the big one, I was stalled on the fbdev pull req as I stupidly let fbdev guys merge a patch I required to fix a warning with some patches I had, they ended up merging the patch from the wrong place, but the warning should be fixed. In future I'll just take the patch myself! Outside drm: There are some snd changes for the HDMI audio interactions on haswell, they've been acked for inclusion via my tree. This relies on the wound/wait tree from Ingo which is already merged. Major changes: AMD finally released the dynamic power management code for all their GPUs from r600->present day, this is great, off by default for now but also a huge amount of code, in fact it is most of this pull request. Since it landed there has been a lot of community testing and Alex has sent a lot of fixes for any bugs found so far. I suspect radeon might now be the biggest kernel driver ever :-P p.s. radeon.dpm=1 to enable dynamic powermanagement for anyone. New drivers: Renesas r-car display unit. Other highlights: - core: GEM CMA prime support, use new w/w mutexs for TTM reservations, cursor hotspot, doc updates - dvo chips: chrontel 7010B support - i915: Haswell (fbc, ips, vecs, watermarks, audio powerwell), Valleyview (enabled by default, rc6), lots of pll reworking, 30bpp support (this time for sure) - nouveau: async buffer object deletion, context/register init updates, kernel vp2 engine support, GF117 support, GK110 accel support (with external nvidia ucode), context cleanups. - exynos: memory leak fixes, Add S3C64XX SoC series support, device tree updates, common clock framework support, - qxl: cursor hotspot support, multi-monitor support, suspend/resume support - mgag200: hw cursor support, g200 mode limiting - shmobile: prime support - tegra: fixes mostly I've been banging on this quite a lot due to the size of it, and it seems to okay on everything I've tested it on." * 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: (811 commits) drm/radeon/dpm: implement vblank_too_short callback for si drm/radeon/dpm: implement vblank_too_short callback for cayman drm/radeon/dpm: implement vblank_too_short callback for btc drm/radeon/dpm: implement vblank_too_short callback for evergreen drm/radeon/dpm: implement vblank_too_short callback for 7xx drm/radeon/dpm: add checks against vblank time drm/radeon/dpm: add helper to calculate vblank time drm/radeon: remove stray line in old pm code drm/radeon/dpm: fix display_gap programming on rv7xx drm/nvc0/gr: fix gpc firmware regression drm/nouveau: fix minor thinko causing bo moves to not be async on kepler drm/radeon/dpm: implement force performance level for TN drm/radeon/dpm: implement force performance level for ON/LN drm/radeon/dpm: implement force performance level for SI drm/radeon/dpm: implement force performance level for cayman drm/radeon/dpm: implement force performance levels for 7xx/eg/btc drm/radeon/dpm: add infrastructure to force performance levels drm/radeon: fix surface setup on r1xx drm/radeon: add support for 3d perf states on older asics drm/radeon: set default clocks for SI when DPM is disabled ...

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up changes necessary at this point. The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues

lib: Move fonts from drivers/video/console/ to lib/fonts/

2013-06-28T08:28:22Z

Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit 9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font support code selection logic"). Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to its own library directory lib/fonts/. This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to CONFIG_VT=y again. [Kevin Hilman : Update arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile] Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven

console/font: Refactor font support code selection logic

2013-06-23T13:55:16Z

The current Makefile rules to build font support are messy and buggy. Replace them by Kconfig rules: - Introduce CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT, which controls the building of all font code, - Select CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT for all drivers that use fonts, - Select CONFIG_FONT_8x16 for all drivers that default to the VGA8x16 font, - Drop the bogus console dependency for CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVI, - Always process drivers/video/console/Makefile, as some drivers need fonts even if CONFIG_VT is not set. This fixes (if CONFIG_SOLO6X10=y and there are no built-in console drivers): drivers/built-in.o: In function `solo_osd_print': drivers/staging/media/solo6x10/solo6x10-enc.c:144: undefined reference to `.find_font' This fixes (if CONFIG_VT=n): drivers/built-in.o: In function `vivi_init': vivi.c:(.init.text+0x1a3da): undefined reference to `find_font' Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Acked-by: Hans Verkuil [original part] Acked-by: Randy Dunlap [drivers/video/Makefile]
