[SPARC64]: Fix section error in sparcspkr

2008-01-22T06:34:31Z

With a sparc64 defconfig modified to set CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n the following error happened during link of vmlinux: local symbol 0: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o local symbol 1: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o (The error message above is from kbuild.git but it happens in mainline too) The error happens becase there is a reference from .text/.data to a function marked __devexit. With CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n all code marked __devexit are discarded and the linker complains. It was tracked down to sparcspkr.c which were missing __devexit_p() around the function pointers. Unfortunately modpost did not catch this since modpost do not warn about references from .data to .devexit from variables named *_driver. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Use i8253.c lock for PC speaker on MIPS, too.

2007-11-03T02:39:18Z

The Jazz machines have to use the PIT timer for dyntick and highresolution kernels. This may break because currently just like i386 used to do MIPS uses two separate spinlocks in the actual PIT code and the PC speaker code. So switch to do it the same that x86 currently does PIT locking. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

typo fixes

2007-10-19T23:34:40Z

Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases. Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both Kconfigs and documentation texts. Signed-off-by: Matt LaPlante Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

get rid of input BIT* duplicate defines

2007-10-19T18:53:42Z

get rid of input BIT* duplicate defines use newly global defined macros for input layer. Also remove includes of input.h from non-input sources only for BIT macro definiton. Define the macro temporarily in local manner, all those local definitons will be removed further in this patchset (to not break bisecting). BIT macro will be globally defined (1< Cc: Acked-by: Jiri Kosina Cc: Acked-by: Marcel Holtmann Cc: Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Cc: Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kconfig: syntax cleanup - drop support for "depends/requires/def_boolean"

2007-10-12T19:20:32Z

Remove the following redundant and never or rarely used kconfig syntax: - "def_boolean" (same as "def_bool") - "requires" (same as "depends on") - "depends" (same as "depends on") This patch contains the code changes and Kconfig updates. The shipped files are in next patch to let actual codechange stand out.

drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals

2007-10-10T00:22:20Z

Three main sets of changes: 1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const, since callers should not be changing that data. 2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should, whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to that data area. 3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible in low-level drivers. And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional optimizations on the part of the compiler. The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others, it was easier to roll it into this changeset.
