  • 07563c711   [PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support ... Browse Code »

    Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
    (at least some) EISA-aware modules.

    The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):

    eisa:sTCM5093

    and the in-module alias like:

    eisa:sTCM5093*

    The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
    to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
    latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
    drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
    declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
    scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.

    There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
    by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
    maps are obsolete anyway.

    The rationale for this patch is:

    a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
    support, to unify driver loading

    b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
    (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
    how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)

  • 1534c3820   [S390] zcrypt adjunct processor bus. ... Browse Code »

    Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can
    be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That
    makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer
    to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point
    in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when
    a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some
    fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or
    continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ
    (see poll_thread parameter).

    The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes,
    ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains
    to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices
    to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between
    two ap bus scans to find new devices.

    The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload
    the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are:
    3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

  • 9e2d3cd34   [PATCH] mod_devicetable.h fixes ... Browse Code »

    * ieee1394_device_id has kernel_ulong_t field after an odd number of
    __u32 ones. Since mod_devicetable.h is included both from kernel and
    from host build helper, we may be in trouble if we are building on
    32bit host for 64bit target - userland sees unsigned long long,
    kernel sees unsigned long and while their sizes match, alignments
    might not. Fixed by forcing alignment. Fortunately, almost nobody
    else needs that - the rest of such fields is naturally aligned as it
    is.

    * of_device_id has void * in it. Host userland helpers need
    kernel_ulong_t instead, since their void * might have nothing to do
    with the kernel one. Fixed in the same way it's done for similar
    problems in pcmcia_device_id (ifdef __KERNEL__).

    * pcmcia_device_id has the same problem as ieee1394_device_id. Fixed
    the same way.

  • 5e6557722   [PATCH] openfirmware: generate device table for userspace ... Browse Code »

    This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id,
    similar to pci_device_id. This allows a device table to be generated,
    which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module
    loading.

    In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
    module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied. Those patches are
    available at:

    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!
