Let's put my money where my mouth is. Smaller code is almost always faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles to make up for. And system software - kernels in particular - are known for taking more cache misses than most other kinds. On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

KOBJECT_UEVENT=n seems to be a common pitfall for udev users in 2.6.14 . -mm already contains a bigger patch removing this option that is IMHO too big for being applied now to 2.6.15-rc. This patch simply allows KOBJECT_UEVENT=n only if EMBEDDED. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Some hardware does not support the PACKET command at all. Other hardware supports ATAPI, but the driver does something nasty such as calling BUG() when an ATAPI command is issued. For these such cases, we mark them with a new flag, ATA_FLAG_NO_ATAPI. Initial version contributed by Ben Collins.

The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not unsigned-long aligned. It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not complete drawn. Reversing the shift operator solves the problem, so I would presume that this bug would manifest only on little endian machines. The function cfbcopyarea may also have this bug. Aligned access should present no problems. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

In slow imageblit, the pixel value is shifted by a certain amount (dependent on the bpp and endianness) for each iteration. This is inefficient. Better do the shifting once before going into the loop. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par() function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other functions dependent on the hardware state are executed. Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour. There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on 10-dec-2005. This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the problems caused by the broken X releases. The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X. As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable to everybody. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.

Add hooks to save and restore the graphics state. These hooks are called in fbcon_blank() when entering/leaving KD_GRAPHICS mode. This is needed by savagefb at least so it can cooperate with savage_dri and by cyblafb. State save/restoration can be full or partial.

There is a bug in the complement_mask when you have a 512-character map. Linux boots to a default 256-character map and most probably your login profile is loading a 512-character map which results in a bad gpm cursor.

As reported by Keith Mannthey, there are problems in populate_memnodemap() The bug was that the compute_hash_shift() was returning 31, with incorrect initialization of memnodemap[] To correct the bug, we must use (1UL << shift) instead of (1 << shift) to avoid an integer overflow, and we must check that shift < 64 to avoid an infinite loop.

On systems that do not support the HPET legacy functions (basically the IBM x460, but there could be others), in time_init() we accidentally fall into a PM timer conditional and set the vxtime_hz value to the PM timer's frequency. We then use this value with the HPET for timekeeping. This patch (which mimics the behavior in time_init_gtod) corrects the collision.

They report all busses as MMCONFIG capable, but it never works for the internal devices in the CPU's builtin northbridge. It just probes all func 0 devices on bus 0 (the internal northbridge is currently always on bus 0) and if they are not accessible using MCFG they are put into a special fallback bitmap. On systems where it isn't we assume the BIOS vendor supplied correct MCFG. Requires the earlier patch for mmconfig type1 fallback Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

When there is no entry for a bus in MCFG fall back to type1.

It's illegal because it can sleep. Use a two step lookup scheme instead. First look up the vm_struct, then change the direct mapping, then finally unmap it. That's ok because nobody can change the particular virtual address range as long as the vm_struct is still in the global list. Also added some LinuxDoc documentation to iounmap.

Disabling LAPIC timer isn't sufficient. In some situations, such as we enabled NMI watchdog, there is still unexpected interrupt (such as NMI) invoked in offline CPU. This also avoids offline CPU receives spurious interrupt and anything similar.

Ben noticed that on certain cards we've landed the AGP space on top of the second aperture instead of after it.. Which messes things up a lot on those machines. This just moves the gart further out, a more correct fix is in the works from Ben for after 2.6.15.

Nick Piggin points out that a few drivers play games with VM_IO (why? who knows..) and thus a pfn-remapped area may not have that bit set even if remap_pfn_range() set it originally. So make it explicit in get_user_pages() that we don't follow VM_PFNMAP pages, since pretty much by definition they do not have a "struct page" associated with them.

This fixes one build error introduced in sparc with the patch of Oct 30, resent Nov 4 "[patch 3/5] atomic: atomic_inc_not_zero" I still can't get sparc to build, but at least it gets further after I remove this line. Apparently, this change was agreed to by Andrew and Nick on Nov 14, but everyone thought someone else was doing it.
