  • 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

  • Add imageblit acceleration for the Blade3D family of cores. The code is
    based on code from the cyblafb driver.

    It is a step toward assimilating back the cyblafb driver into the
    tridentfb driver. The cyblafb driver handles a subfamily of the Trident
    Blade3d cores.

  • This patch contains general source code improvments:
    - more simple functions are inline
    - removes some meaningless output and the VERSION
    string as it is no use
    - eng_par is moved into the tridentfb_par
    - removed small section of code for CyberBladeXPAi1
    which is maybe right for only one resolution
    and refresh rate and is probably redundant now
    - other minor improvements

  • This patch brings various acceleration improvements:
    - set copyarea/fillrect for non-accelerated framebuffer (fix)
    - remove 15 bpp depth handling to simplify code as it hardly
    works (15 bpp handling was obviously missing in some switches)
    - add fb_sync call and move waiting before accelerated function
    to make acceleration more asynchronous to cpu (few % of speed
    improvement)
    - add cpu_relax() call in waiting loops
    - make longer register names and name more registers
    - move registers' definition to header
    - general code improvements (shortening, simplifying)

  • Improved values for some registers after Xorg Trident driver. The main
    problem was that values set by BIOS have been ignored.

    This patch completely remove random pixels ("snow") on the TGUI 9680 and
    9440 (not supported yet by the driver). It does not help with the "snow"
    on 3DImage and Blade3D cards.

    There is also small improvement in timing calculations (hblank start and
    vblank start)

  • 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!
