  • Since default_utf8 is already a sysfs attribute, having an extra
    CONFIG_VT_UNICODE compile-time option is redundant, since sysfs attributes can
    be set at boot and run time.

    Also let Linux VCs default to UTF-8 (as per the discussion at
    http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/6/99).

  • This changes hvc_init() to be called only when someone actually uses the
    hvc_console driver. Dave Jones complained when profiling bootup.

    hvc_console used to only be for Power aka pSeries: now lguest and Xen both
    want it built-in in case the kernel is a guest under one of those, even
    though usually it will be a native boot.

  • As of now, the kernel defaults to non-unicode and XLATE for the keyboard.
    We've been changing this in Fedora, but that requires patching the defaults
    in the kernel.

    The attached introduces CONFIG_VT_UNICODE, which sets the console in
    unicode mode by default on boot, including both the virtual terminal and
    the keyboard driver.

  • This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem. Any
    resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential. ;-) I do hope I got
    the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the
    issue unless you feel too good...

    Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines
    have now been swapped, i.e. ttyS0 ttyS1 and ttyS2 ttyS3. It has
    to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given
    chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter
    as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem
    lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see
    the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used).
    Please update your scripts.

    This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in
    "/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the
    line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from
    both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too).
    The old driver never got it right...

  • Despite repeated attempts over the last two and half years, this driver

  • Fix MSPEC driver to build for non SN2 enabled configs as the driver should

    addition make MSPEC select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR, which is required for
    it and move it to arch/ia64/Kconfig to avoid warnings on non ia64
    architectures running allmodconfig. Once the Kconfig code is fixed, we can
    move it back.

  • Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require
    it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
    the block layer to be present.

    This patch does the following:

    (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
    support.

    (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
    an item that uses the block layer. This includes:

    (*) Block I/O tracing.

    (*) Disk partition code.

    (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

    (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
    block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
    such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

    (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
    drivers.

    (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

    (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
    taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

    (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
    linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,
    however, still used in places, and so is still available.

    (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
    parts of linux/fs.h.

    (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
    is not enabled.

    (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
    required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

    (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

    (*) Makes some /proc changes:

    (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

    (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
    given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

    (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
    CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

    (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
    error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

    (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
    CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
