* arch/tile: add hypervisor-based character driver for SPI flash ROMChris Metcalf2011-06-101-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first version of this patch proposed an arch/tile/drivers/ directory, but the consensus was that this was probably a poor choice for a place to group Tilera-specific drivers, and that in any case grouping by platform was discouraged, and grouping by function was preferred. This version of the patch addresses various issues raised in the community, primarily the absence of sysfs integration. The sysfs integration now handles passing information on sector size, page size, and total partition size to userspace as well. In addition, we now use a single "struct cdev" to manage all the partition minor devices, and dynamically discover the correct number of partitions from the hypervisor rather than using a module_param with a default value. This driver has no particular "peer" drivers it can be grouped with. It is sort of like an MTD driver for SPI ROM, but it doesn't group well with the other MTD devices since it relies on hypervisor virtualization to handle many of the irritating aspects of flash ROM management: sector awareness, background read for sub-sector writes, bit examination to determine whether a sector erase needs to be issued, etc. It is in fact more like an EEPROM driver, but the hypervisor virtualization does require a "flush" command if you wish to commit a sector write prior to writing to a different sector, and this is sufficiently different from generic I2C/SPI EEPROMs that as a result it doesn't group well with them either. The simple character device is already in use by a range of Tilera SPI ROM management tools, as well as by customers. In addition, using the simple character device actually simplifies the userspace tools, since they don't need to manage sector erase, background read, etc. This both simplifies the code (since we can uniformly manage plain files and the SPI ROM) as well as makes the user code portable to non-Linux platforms that don't offer the same MTD ioctls.

| * kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes2011-01-201-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the low-level udbg callbacks. This effectively implements a working runtime console in terms of the simple udbg primitives. This is kind of a hack - since udbg isn't something you really want to be using routinely - but it's really useful during bringup. This can be used to quickly implement a userspace-usable console while you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the hardware has. Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will later be replaced by something else.

* | | [S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console supportHendrik Brueckner2008-12-251-0/+10
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV). The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network and allows access even if there is no network connection between two z/VM guest virtual machines. The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus, provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions. Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end. A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.

* legacy rtc: remove needless/confusing HPET_RTC_IRQ optionDavid Brownell2008-10-161-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HPET_RTC_IRQ is no longer needed; HPET_EMULATE_RTC suffices and is more correct. (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11111) Note that when using the legacy RTC driver, platforms don't really do a dynamic switch between HPET and non-HPET modes based on whether HPET hardware actually exists ... only rtc-cmos (using the new RTC framework) currently switches that way. So this reflects bitrot in that legacy code, for x86/ia64: kernels with HPET support configured (e.g. for a clocksource) can't get IRQs from the legacy RTC driver unless they really have HPET hardware. (The obvious workaround is to not use the legacy RTC driver on those platforms when you configure HPET ... unless you know the target really has a HPET.)

As with the other drives some rearranging is done to pass the tty structure down properly on the user side.
