Antonino A. Daplas 59153f7d7e [PATCH] fbdev: Make BIOS EDID reading configurable
DDC reading via the Video BIOS may take several tens of seconds with some
combination of display cards and monitors.

Make this option configurable.  It defaults to `y' to minimise disruption.

Jean Delvare d03c21ec0b [PATCH] matrox maven: memory allocation and other cleanups
A few cleanups which were done to almost all i2c drivers some times
ago, but matroxfb_maven was forgotten:

* Don't allocate two different structures at once.
* Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc+memset.
* Use strlcpy instead of strcpy.
* Drop duplicate error message on client deregistration failure.

Arthur Othieno 756e21a022 [PATCH] matroxfb: simply return what i2c_add_driver() does
insmod will tell us when the module failed to load.  We do no further
processing on the return from i2c_add_driver(), so just return what
i2c_add_driver() did, instead of storing it.

Add __init/__exit annotations while we're at it.

David Vrabel fc4effc7a9 [PATCH] fbdev: framebuffer driver for Geode GX
A framebuffer driver for the display controller in AMD Geode GX processors
(Geode GX533, Geode GX500 etc.).  Tested at 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and
1280x1024 at 8, 16, and 24 bpp with both CRT and TFT.  No accelerated features
currently implemented and compression remains disabled.

This driver requires that the BIOS (or the SoftVG/Firmbase code in the BIOS)
has created an appropriate virtual PCI header.

Antonino A. Daplas 7a07cd786d [PATCH] nvidiafb: add suspend and resume hooks
Add suspend and resume hooks to make software suspend more reliable.  Resuming
from standby should generally work.  Resuming from mem and from disk requires
that the GPU is disabled.  Adding these to the suspend script...

fbset -accel false -a
/* suspend here */
fbset -accel true -a

...  should generally work.  In addition, resuming from mem requires that the
video card has to be POSTed by the BIOS or some other utility.

Antonino A. Daplas 15bdab959c [PATCH] vgacon: Add support for soft scrollback
The scrollback buffer of the VGA console is located in VGA RAM.  This RAM
is fixed in size and is very small.  To make the scrollback buffer larger,
it must be placed instead in System RAM.

This patch adds this feature.  The feature and the size of the buffer are
made as a kernel config option.  Besides consuming kernel memory, this
feature will slow down the console by approximately 20%.

This corrects cursor resize on ega boards: registers are write-only, so we
shouldn't even try to read them.  And on ega, 31/30 produces a flat cursor.
Using 31/31 is better: except with 32 pixels high fonts, it shouldn't show
up.

Bjorn Helgaas f301ae6a69 [PATCH] pnp: mpu401: adjust pnp_register_driver signature
This series of patches removes the assumption that pnp_register_driver()
returns the number of devices claimed.  Returning the count is unreliable
because devices may be hot-plugged in the future.  (Many devices don't support
hot-plug, of course, but PNP in general does.)

This changes the convention to "zero for success, or a negative error value,"
which matches pci_register_driver(), acpi_bus_register_driver(), and
platform_driver_register().

If drivers need to know the number of devices, they can count calls to their
.probe() methods.

This patch:

Remove the assumption that pnp_register_driver() returns the number of devices
claimed.

Alan Stern e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.
