  • During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the
    help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices'
    ->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4
    system sleep state.

    But at least for some devices the operations performed by the
    ->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations
    during regular suspend.

    For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and
    pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase
    of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as
    appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a
    special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way.

    These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related
    to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488).

  • This patch fixes several problems:
    - pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore
    can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for
    later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F.
    ).
    - Add exports for functions that might be called from modules
    - Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT.
    - Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by
    Aristeu S. Rozanski F., too)
    - Fix wrong calculation of backlight values in some of the drivers
    - Replace pmac_backlight_key_up/down by inline functions

  • MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
    function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
    allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
    dependency on tty.h.

  • This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for
    portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs
    interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than
    before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different
    monitors, similar to Mac OS X.

  • Use ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) and remove
    duplicates of ARRAY_SIZE. Some coding style and trailing whitespaces are
    also fixed.

    Compile-tested where possible (some are other arch or BROKEN)

  • According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
    drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
    function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
    fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
    moved to the console directory.

    Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
    field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
    version.

    The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
    loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
    also not be loaded.

  • This adds type-checking to pm_message_t, so that people can't confuse it
    with int or u32. It also allows us to fix "disk yoyo" during suspend (disk
    spinning down/up/down).

    [We've tried that before; since that cpufreq problems were fixed and I've
    tried make allyes config and fixed resulting damage.]

  • This patch removes CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK (PowerBook support). This is now
    split into CONFIG_PMAC_MEDIABAY for the actual hotswap bay that some
    powerbooks have, CONFIG_PM for power management related code, and just left
    out of any CONFIG_* option for some generally useful stuff that can be used
    on non-laptops as well.

  • 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!
