    The generic nvram driver announces itself as
    'Macintosh non-volatile memory driver'
    instead of 'Generic non-volatile memory driver'. Fix that.

  • 2b8693c06   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • e8222502e   [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers ... Browse Code »

    This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
    powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
    board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
    macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
    device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

    We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
    _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
    changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
    _machine.

    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!
