vgacon: remove software scrollback support

2020-09-23T06:44:25+00:00

commit 973c096f6a85e5b5f2a295126ba6928d9a6afd45 upstream. Yunhai Zhang recently fixed a VGA software scrollback bug in commit ebfdfeeae8c0 ("vgacon: Fix for missing check in scrollback handling"), but that then made people look more closely at some of this code, and there were more problems on the vgacon side, but also the fbcon software scrollback. We don't really have anybody who maintains this code - probably because nobody actually _uses_ it any more. Sure, people still use both VGA and the framebuffer consoles, but they are no longer the main user interfaces to the kernel, and haven't been for decades, so these kinds of extra features end up bitrotting and not really being used. So rather than try to maintain a likely unused set of code, I'll just aggressively remove it, and see if anybody even notices. Maybe there are people who haven't jumped on the whole GUI badnwagon yet, and think it's just a fad. And maybe those people use the scrollback code. If that turns out to be the case, we can resurrect this again, once we've found the sucker^Wmaintainer for it who actually uses it.

powerpc/cell: Drop CONFIG_TUNE_CELL in favour of CONFIG_CELL_CPU

2015-10-19T08:51:18+00:00

The TUNE_CELL option allows you to build a kernel that runs on multiple CPUs but is tuned (ie. optimised) to run on Cell CPUs. Now days no one is building a distro in that fashion, and any users who are building custom kernels for their Cell machines are better off building with CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and therefore can be optimised even more aggresively. Dropping the option also avoids confusing other users, who are presented with an option to tune for Cell when they are not building for a Cell CPU at all.

powerpc/configs: Re-enable CONFIG_SCSI_DH

2015-09-29T10:34:03+00:00

Commit 086b91d052eb ("scsi_dh: integrate into the core SCSI code") changed CONFIG_SCSI_DH from tristate to bool. Our defconfigs have CONFIG_SCSI_DH=m, which the kconfig machinery warns us is invalid, but instead of converting it to =y it leaves it unset. This means we loose the CONFIG_SCSI_DH code and everything that depends on it. So convert the values in the defconfigs to =y.

powerpc/powernv: Enable LEDS support

2015-08-27T10:08:44+00:00

Commit 84ad6e5c added LEDS support for PowerNV platform. Lets update ppc64_defconfig to pick LEDS driver. PowerNV LEDS driver looks for "/ibm,opal/leds" node in device tree and loads if this node exists. Hence added it as 'm'. Also note that powernv LEDS driver needs NEW_LEDS and LEDS_CLASS as well. Hence added them to config file. mpe: Also add them to pseries_defconfig, which is currently also used for powernv systems.

powerpc/pseries: enable RTC class support

2015-08-18T09:34:41+00:00

A working rtc kernel driver is needed so that hwclock can synchronize system clock to rtc during shutdown/boot. We already have a powernv platform rtc driver located at drivers/rtc/rtc-opal.c. However it depends on CONFIG_RTC_CLASS which is disabled by default. Hence the driver isn't enabled and not compiled for the powernv kernel. We fix this by enabling rtc class support in pseries defconfig which enables this driver and compiles it into the pseries kernel. In case CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV is not enabled we fallback to 'Generic RTC support' driver which emulates the legacy 'PC RTC driver'. Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Jain Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
