[PATCH] nvidiafb: Use CVT to get mode for digital displays
If no EDID block is probed, if the display is digital and if no mode option is
specified by the user, get the timings by CVT instead of using the global mode
database.
[PATCH] fbdev: Add VESA Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) support
The Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) is the latest standard approved by VESA
concerning video timings generation. It addresses the limitation of GTF which
is designed mainly for CRT displays. CRT's have a high blanking requirement
(as much as 25% of the horizontal frame length) which artificially increases
the pixelclock. Digital displays, on the other hand, needs to conserve the
pixelclock as much as possible. The GTF also does not take into account the
different aspect ratios in its calculation.
The new function added is fb_find_mode_cvt(). It is called by fb_find_mode()
if it recognizes a mode option string formatted for CVT. The format is:
The 'M' tells the function to calculate using CVT. On it's own, it will
compute a timing for CRT displays at 60Hz. If the 'R' is specified, 'reduced
blanking' computation will be used, best for flatpanels. The 'i' and the 'm'
is for 'interlaced mode' and 'with margins' respectively.
To determine if CVT was used, check for dmesg for something like this:
where: pix - product of xres and yres, in MB
M - is a CVT mode
n - the aspect ratio (3 - 4:3; 4 - 5:4; 9 - 16:9, 15:9; A - 16:10)
-R - reduced blanking

[PATCH] radeonfb: Only request resources we need
This patch changes radeon to request only resources 0 and 2 instead of all
3. This works around problems with some setups where BAR 1 (IO BAR) has
not been assigned by the firmware since it's not used on the machine and
the kernel fails to assign something to it due to the card being between a
P2P bridge that was configured without an IO range at all.
This typically fixes radeonfb on some Apple Xserve G5 machines

[PATCH] framebuffer: bit_putcs() optimization for 8x* fonts
This trivial patch gives a performance boost to the framebuffer console
Constructing the bitmaps that are given to the bitblit functions of the
framebuffer drivers is time consuming. Here we avoide a call to the slow
fb_pad_aligned_buffer(). The patch replaces that call with a simple but
much more efficient bytewise copy.
The kernel spends a significant time at this place if you use 8x* fonts.
Every pixel displayed on your screen is prepared here.
Some benchmark results:
Displaying a file of 2000 lines with 160 characters each takes 889 ms
system time using cyblafb on my system (I´m using a 1280x1024 video mode,
resulting in a 160x64 character console)
Displaying the same file with the enclosed patch applied to 2.6.13 only
takes 760 ms system time, saving 129 ms or 14.5%.
Font widths other than 8 are not affected.
The advantage and correctness of this patch should be obvious.
[PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics core
This is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core.
Currently tridenfb claims to support the cyberblade/i1 graphics core. This
is of very limited truth. Even vesafb is faster and provides more working
modes and a much better quality of the video signal. There is a great
number of bugs in tridentfb ... but most often it is impossible to decide
if these bugs are real bugs or if fixing them for the cyberblade/i1 core
would break support for one of the other supported chips.
Tridentfb seems to be unmaintained,and documentation for most of the
supported chips is not available. So "fixing" cyberblade/i1 support inside
of tridentfb was not an option, it would have caused numerous
if(CYBERBLADEi1) else ... cases and would have rendered the code to be
almost unmaintainable.
A first version of this driver was published on 2005-07-31. A fix for a
bug reported by Jochen Hein was integrated as well as some changes
requested by Antonino A. Daplas.
A message has been added to tridentfb to inform current users of tridentfb
to switch to cyblafb if the cyberblade/i1 graphics core is detected.
This patch is one logical change, but because of the included documentation
it is bigger than 70kb. Therefore it is not sent to lkml and
linux-fbdev-devel,

[PATCH] matroxfb: read MGA PInS data on PowerPC
This updates the matroxfb code so that it can find the PInS data embedded
in the BIOS on PowerPC cards. The process for finding the data is
different on OpenFirmware cards than on x86 cards, and the code for doing
so was missing.
After patching, building, installing, and booting a kernel, you should grep
for "PInS" in /var/log/messages. You should see two messages in the log:
PInS data found at offset XXXXX
PInS memtype = X
On the GXT135p card I get "31168" and "5". The first value is irrelevant,
but it's presence lets me know that the PInS data was actually found. On a
GXT130p, the second value should be 3. Since I don't have access to that
hardware, if someone can verify that, I will submit a follow-on patch that
rips out all the memtype parameter stuff.

On a vc resize, the contents of the old screen buffer are transferred to the
new screenbuffer. If the new screenbuffer is smaller than the old one, only
the contents from the bottom are copied to new. If the contents of the old
buffer are located at the top, then the contents will not be copied to the new
buffer resulting in a blank screen.
This bug will happen only if the vc in question is not in the foreground.
Doing an fbset -a or con2fbmap will trigger this bug.
To fix this problem, base the start of the copy from the location of the
current cursor. If the cursor is near the top of the buffer, copy the
contents at the top, and if the cursor is near the bottom of the buffer, then
copy the contents at the bottom. In the unlikely case where the new row size
is greater than 2x smaller than the old one, and the cursor is in the middle,
copy 1/2 screenful from the top and bottom of the cursor position.
[PATCH] fbcon: Saner 16-color to 4-color conversion
Currently, the default linux 16-colors are converted to 4-colors by simply
dividing the values by 4. However, this is not necessarily correct since the
first 4 colors are converted to black, rendering them invisible.
So, for black, no conversion; for light colors, convert to gray, for normal
text color, no conversion, and for bright colors, convert to intense white.

Currently, fbcon assumes that the visual FB_VISUAL_MONO* is always 1 bit.

V9FS is a distributed file system for Linux which provides an
implementation of the Plan 9 resource sharing protocol 9P. It can be
used to share all sorts of resources: static files, synthetic file servers
(such as /proc or /sys), devices, and application file servers (such as
FUSE).
BACKGROUND
Plan 9 (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9) is a research operating
system and associated applications suite developed by the Computing
Science Research Center of AT&T Bell Laboratories (now a part of
Lucent Technologies), the same group that developed UNIX , C, and C++.
Plan 9 was initially released in 1993 to universities, and then made
generally available in 1995. Its core operating systems code laid the
foundation for the Inferno Operating System released as a product by
Lucent Bell-Labs in 1997. The Inferno venture was the only commercial
embodiment of Plan 9 and is currently maintained as a product by Vita
Nuova (http://www.vitanuova.com). After updated releases in 2000 and
2002, Plan 9 was open-sourced under the OSI approved Lucent Public
License in 2003.
The Plan 9 project was started by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike in 1985.
Their intent was to explore potential solutions to some of the
shortcomings of UNIX in the face of the widespread use of high-speed
networks to connect machines. In UNIX, networking was an afterthought
and UNIX clusters became little more than a network of stand-alone
systems. Plan 9 was designed from first principles as a seamless
distributed system with integrated secure network resource sharing.
Applications and services were architected in such a way as to allow
for implicit distribution across a cluster of systems. Configuring an
environment to use remote application components or services in place
of their local equivalent could be achieved with a few simple command
line instructions. For the most part, application implementations
operated independent of the location of their actual resources.
Commercial operating systems haven't changed much in the 20 years
since Plan 9 was conceived. Network and distributed systems support is
provided by a patchwork of middle-ware, with an endless number of
packages supplying pieces of the puzzle. Matters are complicated by
the use of different complicated protocols for individual services,
and separate implementations for kernel and application resources.
The V9FS project (http://v9fs.sourceforge.net) is an attempt to bring
Plan 9's unified approach to resource sharing to Linux and other
operating systems via support for the 9P2000 resource sharing
protocol.
V9FS HISTORY
V9FS was originally developed by Ron Minnich and Maya Gokhale at Los
Alamos National Labs (LANL) in 1997. In November of 2001, Greg Watson
setup a SourceForge project as a public repository for the code which
supported the Linux 2.4 kernel.
About a year ago, I picked up the initial attempt Ron Minnich had
made to provide 2.6 support and got the code integrated into a 2.6.5
kernel. I then went through a line-for-line re-write attempting to
clean-up the code while more closely following the Linux Kernel style
guidelines. I co-authored a paper with Ron Minnich on the V9FS Linux
support including performance comparisons to NFSv3 using Bonnie and
PostMark - this paper appeared at the USENIX/FREENIX 2005
conference in April 2005:
( http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/tech/freenix/hensbergen.html ).
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION/REQUEST FOR COMMENTS
Our 2.6 kernel support is stabilizing and we'd like to begin pursuing
its integration into the official kernel tree. We would appreciate any
review, comments, critiques, and additions from this community and are
actively seeking people to join our project and help us produce
something that would be acceptable and useful to the Linux community.
STATUS
The code is reasonably stable, although there are no doubt corner cases
our regression tests haven't discovered yet. It is in regular use by several
of the developers and has been tested on x86 and PowerPC
(32-bit and 64-bit) in both small and large (LANL cluster) deployments.
Our current regression tests include fsx, bonnie, and postmark.
It was our intention to keep things as simple as possible for this
release -- trying to focus on correctness within the core of the
protocol support versus a rich set of features. For example: a more
complete security model and cache layer are in the road map, but
excluded from this release. Additionally, we have removed support for
mmap operations at Al Viro's request.
PERFORMANCE
Detailed performance numbers and analysis are included in the FREENIX
paper, but we show comparable performance to NFSv3 for large file
operations based on the Bonnie benchmark, and superior performance for
many small file operations based on the PostMark benchmark. Somewhat
preliminary graphs (from the FREENIX paper) are available
(http://v9fs.sourceforge.net/perf/index.html).
RESOURCES
The source code is available in a few different forms:
The user-level server is available from either the Plan 9 distribution
or from http://v9fs.sf.net
Other support applications are still being developed, but preliminary
version can be downloaded from sourceforge.
Documentation on the protocol has historically been the Plan 9 Man
pages (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/5/INDEX.html), but there is
an effort under way to write a more complete Internet-Draft style
specification (http://v9fs.sf.net/rfc).
There are a couple of mailing lists supporting v9fs, but the most used
is v9fs-developer@lists.sourceforge.net -- please direct/cc your
comments there so the other v9fs contibutors can participate in the
conversation. There is also an IRC channel: irc://freenode.net/#v9fs

file changes.

With the use of RCU in files structure, the look-up of files using fds can now

Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader side
and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter. The
updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and
setting files->fdt to point to the new structure. The fdtable structure is
protected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup. For fd arrays/sets that
are vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't sleep. A
global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list.
If keventd is already handling the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer
queueing of that work.
Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using
explicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference()
premitives instead. This required that the fd information is kept in a
separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

The performance improvement is very significant.
We are getting killed by the cacheline bouncing of the files_struct
lock here. Writes on ramdisk (ext2) seems to vary just too
much to get any meaningful number.
Also, With Tridge's thread_perf test on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 xeon system :
2.6.12-rc5-vanilla :
Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks
Threads 0.34 +/- 0.01 seconds
Processes 0.16 +/- 0.00 seconds
2.6.12-rc5-fd :
Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks
Threads 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds
Processes 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds
I repeated the measurements on ramfs (as opposed to ext2 on ramdisk in
the earlier measurement) and I got more consistent results from tiobench :
2.6.12-rc5-vanilla
--------------------
Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks
Threads 0.20 +/- 0.02 seconds
Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds
2.6.12-rc5-fd
--------------------
Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks
Threads 0.18 +/- 0.04 seconds
Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds
The benefits are huge (upto ~60%) in some cases on x86 primarily
due to the atomic operations during acquisition of ->file_lock
and cache line bouncing in fast path. ppc64 benefits are modest
due to LL/SC based locking, but still statistically significant.

RCU head initilizer no longer needs the head varible name since we don't use
list.h lists anymore.

The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for
2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to
localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization
patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing
kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab
to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one
time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the
speed of kmalloc node does not matter.
This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node
specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation
improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7
of about 5% with this patch alone.
More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast
way like kmalloc.
Test run on a 32p systems with 32G Ram.

These are measurement taken directly after boot and show a greater
improvement than 5%. However, the performance improvements become less
over time if the AIM7 runs are repeated and settle down at around 5%.

Changelog V4-V5:
- alloc_arraycache and alloc_aliencache take node parameter instead of cpu
- fix initialization so that nodes without cpus are properly handled.
- simplify code in kmem_cache_init
- patch against Andrews temp mm3 release
- Add Shai to credits
- fallback to __cache_alloc from __cache_alloc_node if the node's cache
is not available yet.
Changelog V3-V4:
- Patch against 2.6.12-rc5-mm1
- Cleanup patch integrated
- More and better use of for_each_node and for_each_cpu
- GCC 2.95 fix (do not use [] use [0])
- Correct determination of INDEX_AC
- Remove hack to cause an error on platforms that have no CONFIG_NUMA but nodes.
- Remove list3_data and list3_data_ptr macros for better readability
Changelog V2-V3:
- Made to patch against 2.6.12-rc4-mm1
- Revised bootstrap mechanism so that larger size kmem_list3 structs can be
supported. Do a generic solution so that the right slab can be found
for the internal structs.
- use for_each_online_node
Changelog V1-V2:
- Batching for freeing of wrong-node objects (alien caches)
- Locking changes and NUMA #ifdefs as requested by Manfred

Add a devname parameter to the pcmcia_device structure, fills it with
"pcmcia<bus_id>" in pcmcia_device_add, and passes it to request_irq in
pcmcia_request_irq.

[PATCH] fix pcmcia_request_irq() for multifunction card
multifunction cards need to have the same irq assigned to both functions.
the code tries that but fails because ret is still set to CS_IN_USE which
results in the function having the CB irq assigned. yenta_set_socket then
just changes the irq routing to use the PCI interrupt but the first
functions irq handler is registered on an ISA interrupt. boom.

[PATCH] pcmcia/cs: fix possible missed wakeup
- thread_done should only be completed when the wait_queue is installed.
- all wake up conditions should be checked before schedule()
this fixes a hang of rmmod in the sequence modprobe yenta_socket; rmmod
yenta_socket as reported by Andreas Steinmetz. w/o this rmmod yenta_socket

Share code between setup-bus.c and yenta_socket.c: use the write-out code of
resources to the bridge also in yenta_socket.c, as it provides useful debug
output. In addition, it fixes the bug that the CPU-centric resource view
might need to be transferred to the PCI-centric view: setup-bus.c does that,
while yenta-socket.c did not.

[PATCH] dvb: ttpci: av7110: RC5+ remote control support
Improved remote control support for av7110-based cards:
o extended rc5 protocol, firmware >= 0x2620 required
o key-up timer slightly adjusted
o completely moved remote control code to av7110_ir.c
o support for multiple ir receivers
o for now, all av7110 cards share the same ir configuration and event device

IR RC fixes:
- EVIOCSKEYCODE is not supported by this driver, fix potential crash
when it is used by not setting rc_input_dev->keycodesize
- fix key repeat handling (hopefully)
- reduce default poll internal to 50msec (necessary for key repeat handling)
