* PCI: pci.txt fix __devexit() usageGrant Grundler2007-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Marin Mitov <mitov@issp.bas.bg> spotted a brainfart where I had failed to update copied text with *_remove and __devexit(). Marin made a good comment in his email to me: | mydriver_probe() is _always_ executed, while mydriver_remove() is not. | See: include/linux/init.h Which says: /* Functions marked as __devexit may be discarded at kernel link time, depending on config options. Newer versions of binutils detect references from retained sections to discarded sections and flag an error. Pointers to __devexit functions must use __devexit_p(function_name), the wrapper will insert either the function_name or NULL, depending on the config options. */ Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* PCI: rework Documentation/pci.txtGrant Grundler2007-01-221-153/+549
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite Documentation/pci.txt: o restructure document to match how API is used when writing init code. o update to reflect changes in struct pci_driver function pointers. o removed language on "new style vs old style" device discovery. "Old style" is now deprecated. Don't use it. Left description in to document existing driver behaviors. o add section "Legacy I/O Port free driver" by Kenji Kaneshige http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/22/25 (renamed to "pci_enable_device_bars() and Legacy I/O Port space") o add "MMIO space and write posting" section to help avoid common pitfall when converting drivers from IO Port space to MMIO space. Orignally posted http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/27/24 o many typo/grammer/spelling corrections from Randy Dunlap o two more spelling corrections from Stephan Richter o fix CodingStyle as per Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+284
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!
