Fix image and color handling in atyfb_cursor() - In the 2-bit scheme of the cursor image, just set the first bit to be always zero (turn off transparency and/or XOR), and just do the masking manually - The cursor color is converted into 32-bit RGBA8888 using struct fb_cmap. Each component in the cmap is u16 in size, so mask the upper 8 bits.

2006-06-26[PATCH] nvidiafb: Revise pci_device_id tableAntonino A. Daplas
nVidia is churning out chipsets like there's no tomorrow. And even though the pci_device_id table now has numerous entries, it is still not guaranteed that all supported devices are included or will be included. Fortunately, nvidiafb has chipset detection logic built in. So, change the contents of the pci_device_id table so it will capture all nVidia devices of the display class. Unsupported chipsets will then be filtered out by nvidiafb's detection logic.

2006-06-26[PATCH] fbdev: More accurate sync range extrapolationAntonino A. Daplas
The EDID block should specify the display's operating limits (vertical and horizontal sync ranges, and maximum dot clock). If not given by the EDID block, the ranges are extrapolated from the modelist. However, the computation used is only a rough approximation, and the resulting values may not reflect the actual capability of the display. This problem is frequently encountered when the EDID block has a single entry, the single mode entry will fail validation. To prevent this, calculate the values based on the same method used in fb_validate_mode().

2006-06-26[PATCH] savagefb: Add state save and_restore hooksAntonino A. Daplas
Reported by: Rich (Bugzilla Bug 6417) "if savage driver is used in x.org together with savagefb, it results in seriously garbled and distorted screen - coupled with severe slowdowns." This bug is the result of Xorg unable to handle savagefb altering the hardware which results in X failing to start properly and/or failed console switching. Add savagefb_state_save and savagefb_state_restore. These hooks will only save and restore the extended VGA registers. Standard VGA registers will be left alone. This is enough to make savagefb play nicely with the latest Xorg savage driver, and perhaps with savage DRI. (Transient screen artifacts may appear before X loads and during console switches). (Unfortunately, blanking the screen also leaves Xorg in a blanked state, so I have to unblank the screen before Xorg loads. So I doubt if the transient screen artifacts will be completely invisible but hopefully it will only be for a shorter duration (not much).)

Remove the busproc from pdc202xx_old.c because: - it handles the obsolete HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF ioctl instead of the modern HDIO_SET_BUSSTATE, so treats its argument wrong; - I don't think that tristating both channels is good idea (probably can't be done otherwise since there seems to be only single bit controlling this).

2006-06-26[PATCH] ide: actually honor drive's minimum PIO/DMA cycle timesSergei Shtylyov
The function ide_timing_compute() fails to *actually* take drive's specified minimum PIO/DMA cycle times into account -- when doing this, it calls ide_timing_merge() on the 'struct ide_timing' argument which contains garbage at the moment, and then ultimately destroys the read cycle time by quantizing the ide_timing[] entry, instead of copying from that entry to the argument structure, and only then doing a merge/quantize.

The crash occured in capincci_add_ack() (auto-inlined by the compiler). I read the code a bit and finally decided to replace the custom linked list implementation (struct capiminor->ackqueue) by a struct list_head. That did not solve the crash, but produced the following interresting oops: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00200200 printing eip: c39bb1f5 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] Modules linked in: netconsole capi capifs 3c59x mii fcdsl kernelcapi uhci_hcd usbcore ide_cd cdrom CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c39bb1f5>] Tainted: P VLI EFLAGS: 00010246 (2.6.16.11 #3) EIP is at capiminor_del_ack+0x18/0x49 [capi] eax: 00200200 ebx: c18d41a0 ecx: c1385620 edx: 00100100 esi: 0000d147 edi: 00001103 ebp: 0000d147 esp: c1093f3c ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process events/0 (pid: 3, threadinfo=c1092000 task=c1089030) Stack: <0>c2a17580 c18d41a0 c39bbd16 00000038 c18d41e0 00000000 d147c640 c29e0b68 c29e0b90 00000212 c29e0b68 c39932b2 c29e0bb0 c10736a0 c0119ef0 c399326c c10736a8 c10736a0 c10736b0 c0119f93 c011a06e 00000001 00000000 00000000 Call Trace: [<c39bbd16>] handle_minor_send+0x1af/0x241 [capi] [<c39932b2>] recv_handler+0x46/0x5f [kernelcapi] [<c0119ef0>] run_workqueue+0x5e/0x8d [<c399326c>] recv_handler+0x0/0x5f [kernelcapi] [<c0119f93>] worker_thread+0x0/0x10b [<c011a06e>] worker_thread+0xdb/0x10b [<c010c998>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xc [<c011c399>] kthread+0x90/0xbc [<c011c309>] kthread+0x0/0xbc [<c0100a65>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Code: 7e 02 89 ee 89 f0 5a f7 d0 c1 f8 1f 5b 21 f0 5e 5f 5d c3 56 53 8b 48 50 89 d6 89 c3 8b 11 eb 2f 66 39 71 08 75 25 8b 41 04 8b 11 <89> 10 89 42 04 c7 01 00 01 10 00 89 c8 c7 41 04 00 02 20 00 e8 The interresting part of it is the "virtual address 00200200", which is LIST_POISON2. I thought about some race condition, but as this is an UP system, it leads to questions on how it can happen. If we look at EFLAGS: 00010202, we see that interrupts are enabled at the time of the crash (eflags & 0x200). Finally, I don't understand all the capi code, but I think that handle_minor_send() is racing somehow against capi_recv_message(), which call both capiminor_del_ack(). So if an IRQ occurs in the middle of capiminor_del_ack() and another instance of it is invoked, it leads to linked list corruption. I came up with the following patch. With this, I could not reproduce the crash anymore. Clearly, this is not the correct fix for the issue. As this seems to be some locking issue, there might be more locking issues in that code. For example, doesn't the whole struct capiminor have to be locked somehow?

Implement the time sources for i386 (acpi_pm, cyclone, hpet, pit, and tsc). With this patch, the conversion of the i386 arch to the generic timekeeping code should be complete. The patch should be fairly straight forward, only adding the new clocksources.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 2: Rework TSC Supportjohn stultz
As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which will be removed) that we want to preserve. The code also introduces the following functionality: o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping usability o minor cleanups to calibration math. This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.

2006-06-26[PATCH] hangcheck: remove monotomic_clock on x86Andrew Morton
John's about to nuke x86's monotonic clock without grepping for it first. The patch lamely borrows the ppc64 code for x86. hangcheck-timer shouldn't be doing it this way a) HAVE_MONOTONIC should be CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK and it should be defined in arch/xxx/Kconfig. b) That ifdef tangle shouldn't be in hangcheck-timer.c. It should be using arch-provided helper functions, which CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK-enabling architectures implement in arch/something.c Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
