build some drivers only when compile-testing

2013-06-24T23:41:32+00:00

Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to disable the drivers without patching the kernel. Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option. Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y. Now the drivers where we use this new option: * PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom processors so it should depend on x86. * FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32. * USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that method. * INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom device. [v2] * remove EXPERT dependency [gregkh - remove chipidea portion, as it's incorrect, and also doesn't apply to my driver-core tree] Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Jeff Mahoney Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org Cc: Florian Tobias Schandinat Cc: linux-geode@lists.infradead.org Cc: linux-fbdev@vger.kernel.org Cc: Richard Cochran Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Cc: Ben Hutchings Cc: "Keller, Jacob E" Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: core: move mac_pton() to lib/net_utils.c

2013-06-05T19:00:27+00:00

Since we have at least one user of this function outside of CONFIG_NET scope, we have to provide this function independently. The proposed solution is to move it under lib/net_utils.c with corresponding configuration variable and select wherever it is needed.

misc: generic on-chip SRAM allocation driver

2013-04-30T01:28:13+00:00

This driver requests and remaps a memory region as configured in the device tree. It serves memory from this region via the genalloc API. It optionally enables the SRAM clock. Other drivers can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle pointing to this drivers' device node in the device tree. The allocation granularity is hard-coded to 32 bytes for now, to make the SRAM driver useful for the 6502 remoteproc driver. There is overhead for bigger SRAMs, where only a much coarser allocation granularity is needed: At 32 bytes minimum allocation size, a 256 KiB SRAM needs a 1 KiB bitmap to track allocations.

misc: mark spear13xx-pcie-gadget as broken

2013-04-23T17:32:04+00:00

This driver was merged in 2.6.38 but never actually compiled because it depends on the header that has not made it into the kernel. Starting with Linux-3.10, this results in "allyesconfig" build errors, since spear13xx can now be enabled with the default "multiplatform" platform on ARM. Let's mark it as broken for now. If it doesn't get fixed, we can drop it completely.

dummy-irq: introduce a dummy IRQ handler driver

2013-03-25T20:22:32+00:00

This module accepts a single 'irq' parameter, which it should register for. Its sole purpose is to help with debugging of IRQ sharing problems, by force-enabling IRQ that would otherwise be disabled.

x86: Make Linux guest support optional

2013-03-04T21:14:25+00:00

Put all config options needed to run Linux as a guest behind a CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST menu so that they don't get built-in by default but be selectable by the user. Also, make all units which depend on x86_hyper, depend on this new symbol so that compilation doesn't fail when CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST is disabled but those units assume its presence. Sort options in the new HYPERVISOR_GUEST menu, adapt config text and drop redundant select.
