2008-02-03Driver core: Update some prototypes in platform.txtStephen Rothwell1-3/+3

2007-10-20typo fixesMatt LaPlante1-2/+2
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.

2007-06-08update Documentation/driver-model/platform.txtDavid Brownell1-0/+40
Make note of the legacy "probe-the-hardware" drivers, and some APIs that are mostly unused except by such drivers. We probably can't escape having legacy drivers for a while (e.g. old ISA drivers), but we can at least discourage this style code for new drivers, and unless it's unavoidable.

2007-02-10devres: device resource managementTejun Heo1-0/+268
Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-12-02Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt update/rewriteDavid Brownell1-86/+118
This is almost a rewrite of the driver-model/platform.txt documentation; the previous text was obsolete (for several years), evidently it never got updated to match the change from being a PC "legacy_bus" to the more widely used core bus for most embedded systems.

2006-02-03[PATCH] Clean up Documentation/driver-model/overview.txtLinas Vepstas1-32/+25
Edits to the driver-model documentation for grammar, clarity and content. These docs haven't been updated in years, and some of the technical content and discussion has become stale; this patch updates these. In addition, some of the language is awkward. Fix this. (I'm trying to cleanup the other files in this directory also, patches for these will come a bit later).

2005-10-28[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacksRussell King1-58/+2
In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds9-0/+1652
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
