  • I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
    sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
    from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
    by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
    this disentangling (patch to follow later).
    However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

    In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
    possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
    i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
    patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
    adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
    hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
    will pick it up again in the next round.

  • This adds the hotplug routine for generating hotplug events when devices
    are seen on the macio bus. It uses the attributed created by the sysfs
    nodes to generate the hotplug environment vars for userspace.

    Since the characters allowed inside the 'compatible' field are NUL
    terminated, they are exported as individual OF_COMPATIBLE_# variables,
    with OF_COMPATIBLE_N maintaining a count of how many there are.

    In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
    module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied. Those patches are
    available at:

  • This adds sysfs nodes that the hotplug userspace can use to load the
    appropriate modules.

    Changes: The previous versions were built on 2.6.12. 2.6.13-rcX introduced
    a device_attribute parameter to the show functions. Since that
    parameter was treated as the output buffer, memory corruption would
    result, causing Oopsen very quickly.

  • This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id,
    similar to pci_device_id. This allows a device table to be generated,
    which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module
    loading.

  • I thought I'm done with fixing u32 vs. pm_message_t ... unfortunately that
    turned out not to be the case as Russel King pointed out. Here are fixes for
    drivers/macintosh.

  • 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!
