LinuxLists.cc - Linux v2.5.32

2002-08-27 19:40:43

Subject: Linux v2.5.32

Delayed by various issues (including a HT-only MTRR bug that Ingo finally
chased down and that kept me chasing shadows for days). As a result, this
is fairly big..

Most noticeable is the (already discussed) IDE revert, and the threading
updates. The input layer switch-over may also end up being a bit painful
for a while, since that not only adds a lot of config options that you
have to get right to have a working keyboard and mouse (we'll fix that
usability nightmare), but the drivers themselves are different and there
are likely devices out there that depended on various quirks.

The AIO core code from Ben got merged, and Al worked on cleaning up the
gendisk stuff from a number of drivers that were missed last time. And the
usual USB updates..

Oh, and various architecture updates (sparc64, ppc64, ia-64).

o C99 designated initializers for fs/ncpfs
o Support secondary head DDC on G450/G550
o Make secondary output support mandatory for Matrox G450/G550
o Remove structure holding state of secondary output in the matroxfb
driver
o matroxfb: Find appropriate setting for specified color depth by
looking through table instead of using if-else branches in code.
Source is cleaner, and generated code is smaller with this change.
By Denis Zaitsev <[email protected]>
o Simplify rules for writting secondary output drivers to matroxfb
o Use arrays for holding Matrox output drivers, it is nicer and more
extensible than current solution with per-CRTC bitmaps.
o Store pointer to matroxfb specific fb information instead of
universal fb_info* pointer for secondary head. Saves some
typecasts.
o Use container_of instead of simple typecast when we convert
pointers from pointer to fb_info to pointers to matrox_fb_info.
o Initialize Matrox G100 and G400 hardware with values read from BIOS
instead of with failsafe settings discovered in the past.
o matroxfb DVI updates
o Add TV-Out support for Matrox G450/G550. Due to the hardware only
secondary CRTC can be used as a source for TV output.
o Make debug printouts in matroxfb G400 TV-out disabled by default
o Remove currcon field from private fb_info in matroxfb. It was moved
to the generic layer long ago.
o Use sizeof(*var) instead of sizeof(struct xxx) in matroxfb
o Return ENOTTY instead of EINVAL for unknown ioctl ops in matroxfb
o Add support for MGA-TVO-B into matroxfb. By Mike Pieper
o matroxfb: Do not store results of bitwise AND directly in variables
which are treated as a booleans. Comparsion does not work correctly
on them.
o Set system PLL vcomax correctly in matroxfb. Discovered by Dirk
Uffmann
o Update matroxfb to the current fbdev API
o Unicode characters 0x80-0x9F are valid ISO* characters
o broken cfb* support in the 2.5.31-bk

V. Ganesh <[email protected]>:
o typo in usb/serial/ipaq.h

Vojtech Pavlik <[email protected]>:
o Fix i8042.c to ignore fake key releases generated by AT keyboard in
translated set 2. This fixes a problem where shift-pgup, with the
pgup released first generated an unknown scancode warning and the
shift remained stuck.
o This is the last and most important step in the input core
conversion
o This (re)implements getkeycode/setkeycode, kbd_rate and kd_mksound
as functions interfacing to the input core. PC-Speaker handling is
moved to a separate file. Uinput is moved to a input/misc
directory.
o Shorten the keycode handling code in keyboard.c and evdev.c
o Fix bits that have fallen out when merging input-based keyboard.c
into 2.5 - kbd0 init, sysrq support, show_regs, show_mem,
show_state support, correct handling of shifts across vt switches,
console blanking, console callback. Hope that's all.
o Always build input.o in - avoid build problems with keyboard.c
o Add mouse model reporting into psmouse.c
o Fix a dangling 'else' after removing ps/2 keyboard support
o Workaround to make iforce-usb.c compile with Pat Mochel's input to
standard lists conversion.
o Minor endianness and debugging fixes. Most thanks to Dave Miller
