| * Add i915 ioctls to configure pipes for vblank interrupt.Dave Airlie2006-06-244-5/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i915 vblanks can be generated from either pipe a or b, however a disabled pipe generates no interrupts. This change allows the X server to select which pipe generates vblank interrupts. From: Keith Packard <keith.packard@intel.com> via DRM CVS Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for r200 vertex programs (R200_EMIT_VAP_PVS_CNTL, and new packet type for making it possible to address whole tcl vector space and have a larger count) From: Roland Scheidegger (DRM CVS) Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
| * drm: radeon add a tcl state flush before accessing tcl vector spaceDave Airlie2006-06-242-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do a tcl state flush before accessing tcl vector space. This fixes some more problems with flickering (bug #6637). drm may not be appropriate place for this, since doing that flush there might both be overkill and insufficient in some cases. However, it's hard to figure out when that flush is needed, so this has to suffice. There does not seem to be a performance penalty associated with it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the assumption that acpi_bus_register_driver() returns the number of devices claimed. Returning the count is unreliable because devices may be hot-plugged in the future (admittedly not applicable for this driver). This also fixes a bug: if sonypi_acpi_driver was registered but found no devices, sonypi_exit() did not unregister it.

Our "benchmark" is ls -R /etc, which spits out about 27866 characters. The theoretical maximum speed would be about 2.2 seconds, the current code takes ~50 seconds. The core of the problem is that sometimes when the tty layer asks us to push characters the firmware isn't able to handle some or all of them, and so returns an error. The current code sees this and just returns to the tty code with the buffer half sent. The khvcd thread will eventually wake up and try to push more characters, which will usually work because by then the firmware's had time to make room. But the khvcd thread only wakes up every 10 milliseconds, which isn't fast enough. So change the khvcd thread logic so that if there's an incomplete write we yield() and then immediately try writing again. Doing so makes POLL_QUICK and POLL_WRITE synonymous, so remove POLL_QUICK. With this patch our "benchmark" takes ~2.8 seconds. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

It was a way to print out Sparc interrupts in a more freindly format, since IRQ numbers were arbitrary opaque 32-bit integers which vectored into PIL levels. These 32-bit integers were not necessarily in the 0-->NR_IRQS range, but the PILs they vectored to were. The idea now is that we will increase NR_IRQS a little bit and use a virtual<-->real IRQ number mapping scheme similar to PowerPC. That makes this IRQ printing hack irrelevant, and furthermore only a handful of drivers actually used __irq_itoa() making it even less useful. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | | | | | | | | | [PATCH] Fix for the PPTP hangs that have been reportedPaul Mackerras2006-06-111-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530. I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the actual cause. The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c. What happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty. That copies all the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup, which calls tasklet_schedule. So far so good. Since we are in process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the tty->driver->write function to send some more output. However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master tty->receive_room is still zero. We haven't returned from check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room _after_ calling check_unthrottle. That means that the driver->write call in ppp_async_process() returns 0. That would be fine if we were going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it, and the buffer is now empty). The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_ calling the driver unthrottle routine. The patch below does this. With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the connection would always stall in under a minute.

It turns out that the add_preferred_console was being called after the hvc_console driver was registered. It only works when it is called before the console driver is registered. Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection during console_initcall processing.

This is a temporary fix until we get proper ACPI handling in IPMI. Fixed releasing already-allocated regions when a later request fails, and forward-ported it to HEAD. Some BIOSes reserve disjoint I/O regions in their ACPI tables for the IPMI controller. This causes problems when trying to register the entire I/O region. Therefore we must register each I/O port separately.

However, to verify the PCRs, the event-data must be a actual binary event-data used by SHA1 calc. in BIOS. So, I think actual ACPI TCPA log is good for this binary output format. That way, any userland tools easily parse this data with reference to TCG PC specification.
