drivers: hwspinlock: add framework

2011-02-17T17:52:03Z

Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework. Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion operations.

[SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6

2011-01-14T16:12:29Z

LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the following feature set: High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD support. Advanced SCSI feature set: * Persistent Reservations (PRs) * Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA) * Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S) * Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2) * Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2) * Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx) Multiprotocol target plugins Storage media independence: * Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs * No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB * Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc. Standards compliance: * Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720) * Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig. [jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from Randy Dunlap and Dan Carpenter.] Signed-off-by: Nicholas A. Bellinger Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

tty: move drivers/serial/ to drivers/tty/serial/

2011-01-13T20:10:18Z

The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall. This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.

NFC: Driver for NXP Semiconductors PN544 NFC chip.

2011-01-13T16:03:19Z

Creates a new "Near Field Communication" subsystem in drivers/nfc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_Field_Communication is useful ;) This is a driver for the pn544 NFC device. The driver transfers ETSI messages between the device and the user space. Signed-off-by: Matti J. Aaltonen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ARM: 6483/1: arm & sh: factorised duplicated clkdev.c

2010-11-26T10:51:04Z

factorise some generic infrastructure to assist looking up struct clks for the ARM & SH architecture. as the code is identical at 99% put the arch specific code for allocation as example in asm/clkdev.h Signed-off-by: Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD Acked-by: Paul Mundt Signed-off-by: Russell King

TTY: create drivers/tty and move the tty core files there

2010-11-05T15:10:33Z

The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char driver with all of the cruft that is currently there. Based on work done by Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Jiri Slaby Cc: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
