staging: ion: remove from the tree

2020-10-26T05:53:09Z

The ION android code has long been marked to be removed, now that we dma-buf support merged into the real part of the kernel. It was thought that we could wait to remove the ion kernel at a later time, but as the out-of-tree Android fork of the ion code has diverged quite a bit, and any Android device using the ion interface uses that forked version and not this in-tree version, the in-tree copy of the code is abandonded and not used by anyone. Combine this abandoned codebase with the need to make changes to it in order to keep the kernel building properly, which then causes merge issues when merging those changes into the out-of-tree Android code, and you end up with two different groups of people (the in-kernel-tree developers, and the Android kernel developers) who are both annoyed at the current situation. Because of this problem, just drop the in-kernel copy of the ion code now, as it's not used, and is only causing problems for everyone involved.

staging: android: Delete the 'vsoc' driver

2020-02-10T16:51:12Z

The 'vsoc' driver was required for an early iteration of the Android 'cuttlefish' virtual platform, but this platform has been wholly converted to use virtio drivers instead. Delete this old driver.

staging: Android: Add 'vsoc' driver for cuttlefish.

2018-04-23T12:51:37Z

The cuttlefish system is a virtual SoC architecture based on QEMU. It uses the QEMU ivshmem feature to share memory regions between guest and host with a custom protocol.

staging: android: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-28T12:20:48Z

Now that the SPDX tag is in all android files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

staging: android: add SPDX identifiers to all android driver files

2017-11-28T12:20:47Z

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the android driver files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.
