  • 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.

    o CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED: n -> y
    o CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL: n -> y
    o CONFIG_CMDLINE: n -> ""

  • The current PS3 gelic wireless driver has support for wireless
    extensions. The original PS3 gelic wireless driver exposed a
    dedicated API for a dedicated wpa_supplicant driver. This old
    API could be enabled with CONFIG_GELIC_WIRELESS_OLD_PSK_INTERFACE,
    however, as this is not being used by any distros, and it is being
    removed from the driver and from wpa_supplicant.

  • Currently it's impossible to build a ps3_defconfig which will reboot
    without modules installed. This makes it all too easy to find yourself
    with a PS3 that won't reboot.

    This is because the system manager driver, which provides the reboot
    mechanism, is only selectable if PS3_ADVANCED is set, else it defaults
    to m. In ps3_defconfig PS3_ADVANCED is not set, therefore the system
    manager is built as a module.

    It would be desirable IMHO for the defconfig to produce a kernel that
    boots and reboots, without needing modules to be installed.

  • When checking out the new NO_HZ support in powerpc, I noticed we never
    slept for more than 2 seconds. It turns out SLAB has a 2 second per cpu
    timer that causes this.

    After switching to SLUB I see some nice 4 second sleeps which is the
    limit on this POWER6 box (the decrementer ticks at 512MHz):

    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 3.96 sec
    slept 3.80 sec
    slept 2.99 sec

    Since SLUB is now the default and some powerpc defconfigs already enable
    it, lets enable SLUB across the board for consistency. While doing this
    I also noticed that the maple defconfig has SLAB debugging enabled which
    is sure to make your box nice and slow. Fix that too.

  • Adds support for the PS3 virtual UART (vuart). The vuart provides a
    bi-directional byte stream data link between logical partitions.

    This is needed for the ps3 graphics driver and the ps3 power
    control support to be able to communicate with the lv1 policy
    module.
