  • cb2ffb26e   cuse: add fix minor number to /dev/cuse ... Browse Code »

    This allows udev (or more recently systemd-tmpfiles) to create /dev/cuse on
    boot, in the same way as /dev/fuse is currently created, and the corresponding
    module to be loaded on first access.

    The corresponding functionalty was introduced for fuse in commit 578454f.

  • a11edb59a   /dev/oldmem: Remove the interface ... Browse Code »

    /dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in
    the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this
    interface.

    And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64
    where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the
    link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386.

    So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of
    code.

  • d5b4bb4d1   Merge branch 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux ... Browse Code »

    Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
    "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
    realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
    to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
    64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
    dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
    various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.

    So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
    carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
    wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
    grep'ping over it, and so on."

    Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
    Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
    allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
    there may be users out there.

    But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
    have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
    that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
    argue for keeping MCA support either.

    So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
    about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
    kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
    all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net:
    delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

    * 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
    MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
    scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
    serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
    arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA

  • bb8187d35   MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. ... Browse Code »

    Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
    that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
    of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that
    even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
    in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
    the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.

    This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
    kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in
    carrying this any further into the future.

    One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
    stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
    the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

  • 5e71b7a64   mmc: make number of mmcblk minors configurable ... Browse Code »

    The old limit of number of minor numbers per mmcblk device was hardcoded
    at 8. This isn't enough for some of the more elaborate partitioning
    schemes, for example those used by Chrome OS.

    Since there might be a bunch of systems out there with static /dev
    contents that relies on the old numbering scheme, let's make it a
    build-time option with the default set to the previous 8.

    Also provide a boot/modprobe-time parameter to override the config
    default: mmcblk.perdev_minors.

    Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
    the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
    Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
    on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
    to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

  • 578454ff7   driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading ... Browse Code »

    This adds:
    alias: devname:
    to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
    of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.

    Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
    much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
    cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
    useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.

    The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
    program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
    $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
    # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
    microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
    fuse fuse c10:229
    ppp_generic ppp c108:0
    tun net/tun c10:200
    dm_mod mapper/control c10:235

    Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
    static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
    get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
    $ /sbin/udevd --debug
    ...
    static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
    static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
    static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
    static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
    static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
    udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
    udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666

    A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
    the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
    a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
    numbers.

    Note:
    The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
    device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
    systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
    control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
    device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.

    This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
    kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
    paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

  • 88d987d6d   usb: auerswald: remove driver (obsolete) ... Browse Code »

    This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel
    2.6.26.

    This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN
    framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile
    and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the
    only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL,
    the demand of ISDN support is getting very low.

    Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for
    the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to
    the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the
    auerswald web site.

    So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all
    developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working.

    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!
