[DRIVER MODEL] Add platform_driver

2005-11-09T17:23:39+00:00

Introduce struct platform_driver. This allows the platform device driver methods to be passed a platform_device structure instead of instead of a plain device structure, and therefore requiring casting in every platform driver. We introduce this in such a way that any existing platform drivers registered directly via driver_register continue to work as before, thereby allowing a gradual conversion to the new platform_driver methods.

[PATCH] fix remaining missing includes

2005-11-07T15:53:41+00:00

Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous fix-missing-includes.patch. This should now allow not to include sched.h from module.h, which is done by a followup patch. Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[DRIVER MODEL] Improved dynamically allocated platform_device interface

2005-11-05T21:19:33+00:00

Re-jig the simple platform device support to allow private data to be attached to a platform device, as well as allowing the parent device to be set. Example usage: pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id); if (pdev) { err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources, ARRAY_SIZE(resources)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data, sizeof(platform_data)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add(pdev); } else { err = -ENOMEM; } if (err) platform_device_put(pdev); Signed-off-by: Russell King Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Manual #include fixups for clashes - there may be some unnecessary

[PATCH] fix missing includes

2005-10-31T01:37:32+00:00

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round. Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] firmware: fix all kernel-doc warnings

[PATCH] introduce get_cpu_sysdev() to retrieve a sysfs entry for a cpu.

2005-10-31T01:37:14+00:00

Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/ need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them. This will just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu. sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes. Current users: cache entries for Intel CPU's and cpufreq subsystem.

[PATCH] memory hotplug: move section_mem_map alloc to sparse.c

2005-10-30T04:40:44+00:00

This basically keeps up from having to extern __kmalloc_section_memmap(). The vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() helper could go in a vmalloc header, but that header gets hard to work with, because it needs some arch-specific macros. Just stick it in here for now, instead of creating another header.

[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions

2005-10-30T04:40:44+00:00

This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option. Individual architecture patches will follow. For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled. There's a lot of churn there right now. We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.
