vlynq: remove bus driver There are no users with a vlynq_driver in the Kernel tree. Also, only the AR7 platform ever initialized a VLYNQ bus, but AR7 is going to be removed from the Kernel. OpenWRT had some out-of-tree drivers which they probably intended to upport, but AR7 devices are even there not supported anymore because they are "stuck with Kernel 3.18" [1]. This code can go.

cache: Add L2 cache management for Andes AX45MP RISC-V core I/O Coherence Port (IOCP) provides an AXI interface for connecting external non-caching masters, such as DMA controllers. The accesses from IOCP are coherent with D-Caches and L2 Cache. IOCP is a specification option and is disabled on the Renesas RZ/Five SoC due to this reason IP blocks using DMA will fail. The Andes AX45MP core has a Programmable Physical Memory Attributes (PMA) block that allows dynamic adjustment of memory attributes in the runtime. It contains a configurable amount of PMA entries implemented as CSR registers to control the attributes of memory locations in interest. Below are the memory attributes supported: * Device, Non-bufferable * Device, bufferable * Memory, Non-cacheable, Non-bufferable * Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable * Memory, Write-back, No-allocate * Memory, Write-back, Read-allocate * Memory, Write-back, Write-allocate * Memory, Write-back, Read and Write-allocate More info about PMA (section 10.3): Link: http://www.andestech.com/wp-content/uploads/AX45MP-1C-Rev.-5.0.0-Datasheet.pdf As a workaround for SoCs with IOCP disabled CMO needs to be handled by software. Firstly OpenSBI configures the memory region as "Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable" and passes this region as a global shared dma pool as a DT node. With DMA_GLOBAL_POOL enabled all DMA allocations happen from this region and synchronization callbacks are implemented to synchronize when doing DMA transactions. Example PMA region passes as a DT node from OpenSBI: reserved-memory { #address-cells = <2>; #size-cells = <2>; ranges; pma_resv0@58000000 { compatible = "shared-dma-pool"; reg = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000>; no-map; linux,dma-default; }; }; Signed-off-by: Lad Prabhakar <prabhakar.mahadev-lad.rj@bp.renesas.com> Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> Tested-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> # tyre-kicking on a d1 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230818135723.80612-6-prabhakar.mahadev-lad.rj@bp.renesas.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

drivers/accel: define kconfig and register a new major Add a new Kconfig for the accel subsystem. The Kconfig currently contains only the basic CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL option that will be used to decide whether to compile the accel registration code. Therefore, the kconfig option is defined as bool. The accel code will be compiled as part of drm.ko and will be called directly from the DRM core code. The reason we compile it as part of drm.ko and not as a separate module is because of cyclic dependency between drm.ko and the separate module (if it would have existed). This is due to the fact that DRM core code calls accel functions and vice-versa. The accelerator devices will be exposed to the user space with a new, dedicated major number - 261. The accel init function registers the new major number as a char device and create corresponding sysfs and debugfs root entries, similar to what is done in DRM init function. I added a new header called drm_accel.h to include/drm/, that will hold the prototypes of the drm_accel.c functions. In case CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL is set to 'N', that header will contain empty inline implementations of those functions, to allow DRM core code to compile successfully without dependency on CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL. I Updated the MAINTAINERS file accordingly with the newly added folder and I have taken the liberty to appropriate the dri-devel mailing list and the dri-devel IRC channel for the accel subsystem.

vme: move back to staging The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in 2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging") stating: The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully. However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups. No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only remaining board. drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original hierarchy.

drivers: Add hardware timestamp engine (HTE) subsystem Some devices can timestamp system lines/signals/Buses in real-time using the hardware counter or other hardware means which can give finer granularity and help avoid jitter introduced by software timestamping. To utilize such functionality, this patchset creates HTE subsystem where devices can register themselves as providers so that the consumers devices can request specific line from the providers. The patch also adds compilation support in Makefile and menu options in Kconfig. The provider does following: - Registers chip with the framework. - Provides translation hook to convert logical line id. - Provides enable/disable, request/release callbacks. - Pushes timestamp data to HTE subsystem. The consumer does following: - Initializes line attribute. - Gets HTE timestamp descriptor. - Requests timestamp functionality. - Puts HTE timestamp descriptor.

cxl/mem: Introduce a driver for CXL-2.0-Type-3 endpoints The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory was attached to the typical CPU memory controller. With the CXL-2.0 specification a PCI endpoint can implement a "Type-3" device interface and give the operating system control over "Host Managed Device Memory". See section 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device. The memory range exported by the device may optionally be described by the platform firmware memory map, or by infrastructure like LIBNVDIMM to provision persistent memory capacity from one, or more, CXL.mem devices. A pre-requisite for Linux-managed memory-capacity provisioning is this cxl_mem driver that can speak the mailbox protocol defined in section 8.2.8.4 Mailbox Registers.

vhost: refine vhost and vringh kconfig Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without virtualization support from using vhost. To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. While at it, also squash Kconfig.vringh into vhost Kconfig file. This avoids the trick of conditional inclusion from VOP or CAIF. Then it will be easier to introduce new vringh users and common dependency for both vringh and vhost.

So for the gfx device driver layer to track total gpu memory usage both globally and per process in an easy and uniform way is to integrate the tracepoint in this patch to the underlying varied implementations of gpu memory tracking system from vendors. Putting this tracepoint in the common trace events can not only help wean the gfx drivers off of debugfs but also greatly help the downstream Android gpu vendors because debugfs is to be deprecated in the upcoming Android release. Then the gpu memory tracking of both Android kernel and the upstream linux kernel can stay closely, which can benefit the whole kernel eco-system in the long term.

The current implementation has architectural flaws and would need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g. I2C, FPGA and GPIO. We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.

counter: Introduce the Generic Counter interface This patch introduces the Generic Counter interface for supporting counter devices. In the context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter is defined as a device that reports one or more "counts" based on the state changes of one or more "signals" as evaluated by a defined "count function." Driver callbacks should be provided to communicate with the device: to read and write various Signals and Counts, and to set and get the "action mode" and "count function" for various Synapses and Counts respectively. To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to the system. Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are stored as an array and set to the the synapses array member of the respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to the system. A counter device is registered to the system by passing the respective initialized counter_device structure to the counter_register function; similarly, the counter_unregister function unregisters the respective Counter. The devm_counter_register and devm_counter_unregister functions serve as device memory-managed versions of the counter_register and counter_unregister functions respectively.

interconnect: Add generic on-chip interconnect API This patch introduces a new API to get requirements and configure the interconnect buses across the entire chipset to fit with the current demand. The API is using a consumer/provider-based model, where the providers are the interconnect buses and the consumers could be various drivers. The consumers request interconnect resources (path) between endpoints and set the desired constraints on this data flow path. The providers receive requests from consumers and aggregate these requests for all master-slave pairs on that path.

i3c: Add core I3C infrastructure Add core infrastructure to support I3C in Linux and document it. This infrastructure adds basic I3C support. Advanced features will be added afterwards. There are a few design choices that are worth mentioning because they impact the way I3C device drivers can interact with their devices: - all functions used to send I3C/I2C frames must be called in non-atomic context. Mainly done this way to ease implementation, but this is not set in stone, and if anyone needs async support, new functions can be added later on. - the bus element is a separate object, but it's tightly coupled with the master object. We thus have a 1:1 relationship between i3c_bus and i3c_master_controller objects, and if 2 master controllers are connected to the same bus and both exposed to the same Linux instance they will appear as two distinct busses, and devices on this bus will be exposed twice. - I2C backward compatibility has been designed to be transparent to I2C drivers and the I2C subsystem. The I3C master just registers an I2C adapter which creates a new I2C bus. I'd say that, from a representation PoV it's not ideal because what should appear as a single I3C bus exposing I3C and I2C devices here appears as 2 different buses connected to each other through the parenting (the I3C master is the parent of the I2C and I3C busses). On the other hand, I don't see a better solution if we want something that is not invasive. Missing features: - I3C HDR modes are not supported - no support for multi-master and the associated concepts (mastership handover, support for secondary masters, ...) - I2C devices can only be described using DT because this is the only use case I have. However, the framework can easily be extended with ACPI and board info support - I3C slave framework. This has been completely omitted, but shouldn't have a huge impact on the I3C framework because I3C slaves don't see the whole bus, it's only about handling master requests and generating IBIs. Some of the struct, constant and enum definitions could be shared, but most of the I3C slave framework logic will be different Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@bootlin.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

gnss: add GNSS receiver subsystem Add a new subsystem for GNSS (e.g. GPS) receivers. While GNSS receivers are typically accessed using a UART interface they often also support other I/O interfaces such as I2C, SPI and USB, while yet other devices use iomem or even some form of remote-processor messaging (rpmsg). The new GNSS subsystem abstracts the underlying interface and provides a new "gnss" class type, which exposes a character-device interface (e.g. /dev/gnss0) to user space. This allows GNSS receivers to have a representation in the Linux device model, something which is important not least for power management purposes. Note that the character-device interface provides raw access to whatever protocol the receiver is (currently) using, such as NMEA 0183, UBX or SiRF Binary. These protocols are expected to be continued to be handled by user space for the time being, even if some hybrid solutions are also conceivable (e.g. to have kernel drivers issue management commands). This will still allow for better platform integration by allowing GNSS devices and their resources (e.g. regulators and enable-gpios) to be described by firmware and managed by kernel drivers rather than platform-specific scripts and services. While the current interface is kept minimal, it could be extended using IOCTLs, sysfs or uevents as needs and proper abstraction levels are identified and determined (e.g. for device and feature identification).

siox: new driver framework for eckelmann SIOX SIOX is a bus system invented at Eckelmann AG to control their building management and refrigeration systems. Traditionally the bus was implemented on custom microcontrollers, today Linux based machines are in use, too.

DCLK is the clock to shift both chains by a single bit. On an edge of DLD the devices latch both their input and output shift registers. This patch adds a framework for this bus type.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mux: minimal mux subsystem Add a new minimalistic subsystem that handles multiplexer controllers. When multiplexers are used in various places in the kernel, and the same multiplexer controller can be used for several independent things, there should be one place to implement support for said multiplexer controller. A single multiplexer controller can also be used to control several parallel multiplexers, that are in turn used by different subsystems in the kernel, leading to a need to coordinate multiplexer accesses. The multiplexer subsystem handles this coordination.

/dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. Specifically this interface: 1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. 2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported. For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the same once established. It is the "what you see is what you get" access mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has filesystem specific implementation semantics. Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory ranges. This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to associate a dax device with pmem range.

lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer (FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features of SSDs. LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection, and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata persistence are still handled by the device. The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and (multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store, object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be application-specific.

stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM. This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP stream. This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency. For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism. For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that can be connected to an stm device at run time.

Up until now, NVMEM drivers like eeprom were stored in drivers/misc, where they all had to duplicate pretty much the same code to register a sysfs file, allow in-kernel users to access the content of the devices they were driving, etc. This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved, since the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to another, there was a rather big abstraction leak. This introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also introduces DT representation for consumer devices to go get the data they require (MAC Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on) from the nvmems. Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better abstraction for nvmems on different buses.

i2o: move to staging The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on in the market. The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it. We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either. It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years. Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.

soc: ti: add Keystone Navigator QMSS driver The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone Multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure Packet DMA. The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management. Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory. The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions, queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor pool management.

add single-wire serial bus interface (SSBI) driver SSBI is the Qualcomm single-wire serial bus interface used to connect the MSM devices to the PMIC and other devices. Since SSBI only supports a single slave, the driver gets the name of the slave device passed in from the board file through the master device's platform data. SSBI registers pretty early (postcore), so that the PMIC can come up before the board init. This is useful if the board init requires the use of gpios that are connected through the PMIC. Based on a patch by Dima Zavin <dima@android.com> that can be found at: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb060bac4 This patch adds PMIC Arbiter support for the MSM8660. The PMIC Arbiter is a hardware wrapper around the SSBI 2.0 controller that is designed to overcome concurrency issues and security limitations. A controller_type field is added to the platform data to specify the type of the SSBI controller (1.0, 2.0, or PMIC Arbiter).

PCI-Express Non-Transparent Bridge Support A PCI-Express non-transparent bridge (NTB) is a point-to-point PCIe bus connecting 2 systems, providing electrical isolation between the two subsystems. A non-transparent bridge is functionally similar to a transparent bridge except that both sides of the bridge have their own independent address domains. The host on one side of the bridge will not have the visibility of the complete memory or I/O space on the other side of the bridge. To communicate across the non-transparent bridge, each NTB endpoint has one (or more) apertures exposed to the local system. Writes to these apertures are mirrored to memory on the remote system. Communications can also occur through the use of doorbell registers that initiate interrupts to the alternate domain, and scratch-pad registers accessible from both sides. The NTB device driver is needed to configure these memory windows, doorbell, and scratch-pad registers as well as use them in such a way as they can be turned into a viable communication channel to the remote system. ntb_hw.[ch] determines the usage model (NTB to NTB or NTB to Root Port) and abstracts away the underlying hardware to provide access and a common interface to the doorbell registers, scratch pads, and memory windows. These hardware interfaces are exported so that other, non-mainlined kernel drivers can access these. ntb_transport.[ch] also uses the exported interfaces in ntb_hw.[ch] to setup a communication channel(s) and provide a reliable way of transferring data from one side to the other, which it then exports so that "client" drivers can access them. These client drivers are used to provide a standard kernel interface (i.e., Ethernet device) to NTB, such that Linux can transfer data from one system to the other in a standard way.

ARM: bcm2835: add interrupt controller driver The BCM2835 contains a custom interrupt controller, which supports 72 interrupt sources using a 2-level register scheme. The interrupt controller, or the HW block containing it, is referred to occasionally as "armctrl" in the SoC documentation, hence the symbol naming in the code. This patch was extracted from git://github.com/lp0/linux.git branch rpi-split as of 2012/09/08, and modified as follows: * s/bcm2708/bcm2835/. * Modified device tree vendor prefix. * Moved implementation to drivers/irchip/. * Added devicetree documentation, and hence removed list of IRQs from bcm2835.dtsi. * Changed shift in MAKE_HWIRQ() and HWIRQ_BANK() from 8 to 5 to reduce the size of the hwirq space, and pass the total size of the hwirq space to irq_domain_add_linear(), rather than just the number of valid hwirqs; the two are different due to the hwirq space being sparse. * Added the interrupt controller DT node to the top-level of the DT, rather than nesting it inside a /axi node. Hence, changed the reg value since /axi had a ranges property. This seems simpler to me, but I'm not sure if everyone will like this change or not. * Don't set struct irq_domain_ops.map = irq_domain_simple_map, hence removing the need to patch include/linux/irqdomain.h or kernel/irq/irqdomain.c. * Simplified armctrl_of_init() using of_iomap(). * Removed unused IS_VALID_BANK()/IS_VALID_IRQ() macros. * Renamed armctrl_handle_irq() to prevent possible symbol clashes. * Made armctrl_of_init() static. * Removed comment "Each bank is registered as a separate interrupt controller" since this is no longer true. * Removed FSF address from license header. * Added my name to copyright header.

vfio: VFIO core VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers (in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable IOMMU). New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their choice. Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description and usage example. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>

pwm: Add PWM framework support This patch adds framework support for PWM (pulse width modulation) devices. The is a barebone PWM API already in the kernel under include/linux/pwm.h, but it does not allow for multiple drivers as each of them implements the pwm_*() functions. There are other PWM framework patches around from Bill Gatliff. Unlike his framework this one does not change the existing API for PWMs so that this framework can act as a drop in replacement for the existing API. Why another framework? Several people argue that there should not be another framework for PWMs but they should be integrated into one of the existing frameworks like led or hwmon. Unlike these frameworks the PWM framework is agnostic to the purpose of the PWM. In fact, a PWM can drive a LED, but this makes the LED framework a user of a PWM, like already done in leds-pwm.c. The gpio framework also is not suitable for PWMs. Every gpio could be turned into a PWM using timer based toggling, but on the other hand not every PWM hardware device can be turned into a gpio due to the lack of hardware capabilities. This patch does not try to improve the PWM API yet, this could be done in subsequent patches.

rpmsg: add virtio-based remote processor messaging bus Add a virtio-based inter-processor communication bus, which enables kernel drivers to communicate with entities, running on remote processors, over shared memory using a simple messaging protocol. Every pair of AMP processors share two vrings, which are used to send and receive the messages over shared memory. The header of every message sent on the rpmsg bus contains src and dst addresses, which make it possible to multiplex several rpmsg channels on the same vring. Every rpmsg channel is a device on this bus. When a channel is added, and an appropriate rpmsg driver is found and probed, it is also assigned a local rpmsg address, which is then bound to the driver's callback. When inbound messages carry the local address of a bound driver, its callback is invoked by the bus. This patch provides a kernel interface only; user space interfaces will be later exposed by kernel users of this rpmsg bus. Designed with Brian Swetland <swetland@google.com>.

remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processors Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS. Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves: - Loading a firmware which contains the OS image - Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory) - Programming an IOMMU (when relevant) - Powering on the device This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power management and error recovery. Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo <fernando.lugo@ti.com>.

drivers: create a pin control subsystem This creates a subsystem for handling of pin control devices. These are devices that control different aspects of package pins. Currently it handles pinmuxing, i.e. assigning electronic functions to groups of pins on primarily PGA and BGA type of chip packages which are common in embedded systems. The plan is to also handle other I/O pin control aspects such as biasing, driving, input properties such as schmitt-triggering, load capacitance etc within this subsystem, to remove a lot of ARM arch code as well as feature-creepy GPIO drivers which are implementing the same thing over and over again. This is being done to depopulate the arch/arm/* directory of such custom drivers and try to abstract the infrastructure they all need. See the Documentation/pinctrl.txt file that is part of this patch for more details. ChangeLog v1->v2: - Various minor fixes from Joe's and Stephens review comments - Added a pinmux_config() that can invoke custom configuration with arbitrary data passed in or out to/from the pinmux driver ChangeLog v2->v3: - Renamed subsystem folder to "pinctrl" since we will likely want to keep other pin control such as biasing in this subsystem too, so let us keep to something generic even though we're mainly doing pinmux now. - As a consequence, register pins as an abstract entity separate from the pinmux. The muxing functions will claim pins out of the pin pool and make sure they do not collide. Pins can now be named by the pinctrl core. - Converted the pin lookup from a static array into a radix tree, I agreed with Grant Likely to try to avoid any static allocation (which is crap for device tree stuff) so I just rewrote this to be dynamic, just like irq number descriptors. The platform-wide definition of number of pins goes away - this is now just the sum total of the pins registered to the subsystem. - Make sure mappings with only a function name and no device works properly. ChangeLog v3->v4: - Define a number space per controller instead of globally, Stephen and Grant requested the same thing so now maps need to define target controller, and the radix tree of pin descriptors is a property on each pin controller device. - Add a compulsory pinctrl device entry to the pinctrl mapping table. This must match the pinctrl device, like "pinctrl.0" - Split the file core.c in two: core.c and pinmux.c where the latter carry all pinmux stuff, the core is for generic pin control, and use local headers to access functionality between files. It is now possible to implement a "blank" pin controller without pinmux capabilities. This split will make new additions like pindrive.c, pinbias.c etc possible for combined drivers and chunks of functionality which is a GoodThing(TM). - Rewrite the interaction with the GPIO subsystem - the pin controller descriptor now handles this by defining an offset into the GPIO numberspace for its handled pin range. This is used to look up the apropriate pin controller for a GPIO pin. Then that specific GPIO range is matched 1-1 for the target controller instance. - Fixed a number of review comments from Joe Perches. - Broke out a header file pinctrl.h for the core pin handling stuff that will be reused by other stuff than pinmux. - Fixed some erroneous EXPORT() stuff. - Remove mispatched U300 Kconfig and Makefile entries - Fixed a number of review comments from Stephen Warren, not all of them - still WIP. But I think the new mapping that will specify which function goes to which pin mux controller address 50% of your concerns (else beat me up). ChangeLog v4->v5: - Defined a "position" for each function, so the pin controller now tracks a function in a certain position, and the pinmux maps define what position you want the function in. (Feedback from Stephen Warren and Sascha Hauer). - Since we now need to request a combined function+position from the machine mapping table that connect mux settings to drivers, it was extended with a position field and a name field. The name field is now used if you e.g. need to switch between two mux map settings at runtime. - Switched from a class device to using struct bus_type for this subsystem. Verified sysfs functionality: seems to work fine. (Feedback from Arnd Bergmann and Greg Kroah-Hartman) - Define a per pincontroller list of GPIO ranges from the GPIO pin space that can be handled by the pin controller. These can be added one by one at runtime. (Feedback from Barry Song) - Expanded documentation of regulator_[get|enable|disable|put] semantics. - Fixed a number of review comments from Barry Song. (Thanks!) ChangeLog v5->v6: - Create an abstract pin group concept that can sort pins into named and enumerated groups no matter what the use of these groups may be, one possible usecase is a group of pins being muxed in or so. The intention is however to also use these groups for other pin control activities. - Make it compulsory for pinmux functions to associate with at least one group, so the abstract pin group concept is used to define the groups of pins affected by a pinmux function. The pinmux driver interface has been altered so as to enforce a function to list applicable groups per function. - Provide an optional .group entry in the pinmux machine map so the map can select beteween different available groups to be used with a certain function. - Consequent changes all over the place so that e.g. debugfs present reasonable information about the world. - Drop the per-pin mux (*config) function in the pinmux_ops struct - I was afraid that this would start to be used for things totally unrelated to muxing, we can introduce that to the generic struct pinctrl_ops if needed. I want to keep muxing orthogonal to other pin control subjects and not mix these things up. ChangeLog v6->v7: - Make it possible to have several map entries matching the same device, pin controller and function, but using a different group, and alter the semantics so that pinmux_get() will pick all matching map entries, and store the associated groups in a list. The list will then be iterated over at pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable() and corresponding driver functions called for each defined group. Notice that you're only allowed to map multiple *groups* to the same { device, pin controller, function } triplet, attempts to map the same device to multiple pin controllers will for example fail. This is hopefully the crucial feature requested by Stephen Warren. - Add a pinmux hogging field to the pinmux mapping entries, and enable the pinmux core to hog pinmux map entries. This currently only works for pinmuxes without assigned devices as it looks now, but with device trees we can look up the corresponding struct device * entries when we register the pinmux driver, and have it hog each pinmux map in turn, for a simple approach to non-dynamic pin muxing. This addresses an issue from Grant Likely that the machine should take care of as much of the pinmux setup as possible, not the devices. By supplying a list of hogs, it can now instruct the core to take care of any static mappings. - Switch pinmux group retrieveal function to grab an array of strings representing the groups rather than an array of unsigned and rewrite accordingly. - Alter debugfs to show the grouplist handled by each pinmux. Also add a list of hogs. - Dynamically allocate a struct pinmux at pinmux_get() and free it at pinmux_put(), then add these to the global list of pinmuxes active as we go along. - Go over the list of pinmux maps at pinmux_get() time and repeatedly apply matches. - Retrieve applicable groups per function from the driver as a string array rather than a unsigned array, then lookup the enumerators. - Make the device to pinmux map a singleton - only allow the mapping table to be registered once and even tag the registration function with __init so it surely won't be abused. - Create a separate debugfs file to view the pinmux map at runtime. - Introduce a spin lock to the pin descriptor struct, lock it when modifying pin status entries. Reported by Stijn Devriendt. - Fix up the documentation after review from Stephen Warren. - Let the GPIO ranges give names as const char * instead of some fixed-length string. - add a function to unregister GPIO ranges to mirror the registration function. - Privatized the struct pinctrl_device and removed it from the <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> API, the drivers do not need to know the members of this struct. It is now in the local header "core.h". - Rename the concept of "anonymous" mux maps to "system" muxes and add convenience macros and documentation. ChangeLog v7->v8: - Delete the leftover pinmux_config() function from the <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> header. - Fix a race condition found by Stijn Devriendt in pin_request() ChangeLog v8->v9: - Drop the bus_type and the sysfs attributes and all, we're not on the clear about how this should be used for e.g. userspace interfaces so let us save this for the future. - Use the right name in MAINTAINERS, PIN CONTROL rather than PINMUX - Don't kfree() the device state holder, let the .remove() callback handle this. - Fix up numerous kerneldoc headers to have one line for the function description and more verbose documentation below the parameters ChangeLog v9->v10: - pinctrl: EXPORT_SYMBOL needs export.h, folded in a patch from Steven Rothwell - fix pinctrl_register error handling, folded in a patch from Axel Lin - Various fixes to documentation text so that it's consistent. - Removed pointless comment from drivers/Kconfig - Removed dependency on SYSFS since we removed the bus in v9. - Renamed hopelessly abbreviated pctldev_* functions to the more verbose pinctrl_dev_* - Drop mutex properly when looking up GPIO ranges - Return NULL instead of ERR_PTR() errors on registration of pin controllers, using cast pointers is fragile. We can live without the detailed error codes for sure.

PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with device-specific OPPs With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) scheme may be used. This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs. DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation. The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with /drivers/cpufreq. However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous devices with different (but simple) governors. Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency. devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to device driver's "target" callback. When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a transition.

virtio: expose for non-virtualization users too virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization, and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected. Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications, we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization scope too. Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections. The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu. This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible (and neat!) for virtualization users now. Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.

bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

LinuxPPS: core support This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code. Many external chips add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such as MFD drivers) and platform code frequently needs to closely integrate GPIO and IRQ support. This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common for other drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must be initialized early in the device_initcall() sequence.

DCA: Add Direct Cache Access driver Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA services with devices that offer DCA services. In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU. However, different CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a hardware specific magic incantation. This interface is a way for DCA clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing to know the specifics.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel) The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and display. Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host. Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing /dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation. The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae and non-pae paging modes are supported. SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on. Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways: - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due to X being in a separate process. In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O device emulation and the BIOS. Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true): - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to use an existing image or install through qemu - Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2 The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future. As such it is now a misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and would complicate builds for non-SN2. This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc, and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on non-SN2 configs. Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

[PATCH] EDAC: core EDAC support code This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel. It requires no core kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted. The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream extras are really ready to merge. From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com> This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the base kernel.

[PATCH] spi: simple SPI framework This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous wrappers on top). - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :) - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.) - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire) and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML mentions of other drivers in development. - No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare. Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs. The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor, and include: - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect. - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for DMA drivers that want to be fancy. - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is for driver support, and the board init support uses static init. - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk who've helped nudge this framework into existence. As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support that this driver framework will need to evolve. From: Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com> Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.

[NET]: Add netlink connector. Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional message bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created to eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus direction. Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as one of it's backends netlink based network. One must register callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called. From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward: socket(); bind(); send(); recv(); But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff handling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly easier way: int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *)); void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask); struct cb_id { __u32 idx; __u32 val; }; idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in connector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is a callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val will be received by connector core. Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's users. Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

[NET]: add a top-level Networking menu to *config Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers menu and up on the top-level where they belong. To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been implemented for all architectures. Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25 are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new networking menu item.

[PATCH] ioc4: CONFIG split The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip drivers are currently all configured by CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4. This is undesirable as not all IOC4 hardware features are needed by all systems. This patch adds two configuration variables, CONFIG_SGI_IOC4 for core IOC4 driver support (see patch 1/3 in this series for further explanation) and CONFIG_SERIAL_SGI_IOC4 to independently enable serial port support.

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!
