Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!

+Sat May 12 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version ncr53c8xx-3.4.3b
+	- Ensure LEDC bit in GPCNTL is cleared when reading the NVRAM.
+	  Fix sent by Stig Telfer <stig@api-networks.com>.
+	- Define scsi_set_pci_device() as nil for kernel < 2.4.4.
+
+Mon Feb 12 22:30 2001 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version ncr53c8xx-3.4.3
+	- Call pci_enable_device() as AC wants this to be done.
+	- Get both the BAR cookies actual and PCI BAR values.
+	  (see Changelog.sym53c8xx rev. 1.7.3 for details)
+	- Merge changes for linux-2.4 that declare the host template 
+	  in the driver object also when the driver is statically 
+	  linked with the kernel.
+
+Sun Sep 24 21:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version ncr53c8xx-3.4.2
+	- See Changelog.sym53c8xx, driver version 1.7.2.
+
+Wed Jul 26 23:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version ncr53c8xx-3.4.1
+	- Provide OpenFirmare path through the proc FS on PPC.
+	- Remove trailing argument #2 from a couple of #undefs.
+
+Sun Jul 09 16:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version ncr53c8xx-3.4.0
+	- Remove the PROFILE C and SCRIPTS code.
+	  This facility was not this useful and thus was not longer 
+	  desirable given the increasing complexity of the driver code.
+	- Merges from FreeBSD sym-1.6.2 driver:
+	  * Clarify memory barriers needed by the driver for architectures 
+	    that implement a weak memory ordering.
+	- General cleanup:
+	  Move definitions for barriers and IO/MMIO operations to the 
+	  sym53c8xx_defs.h header files. They are now shared by the 
+	  both drivers.
+	  Use SCSI_NCR_IOMAPPED instead of NCR_IOMAPPED.
+
+Thu May 11   12:30 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.3b
+ 
+Mon Apr 24 12:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2i
+	- Return value 1 (instead of 0) from the driver setup routine.
+	- Let the driver also attach controllers that have been set to 
+	  OFF in the NVRAM as it did prior to revision 3.2g.
+
+Sat Apr 1  12:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2h
+	- Fix a compilation problem on Alpha introduced in version 3.2g.
+          (`port' changed to `base_io').
+	- Move from `sym' to this driver a tiny change for __sparc__ that 
+	  applies to cache line size (? Probably from David S Miller).
+	- Make sure no data transfer will happen for Scsi_Cmnd requests 
+	  that supply SCSI_DATA_NONE direction (this avoids some BUG() 
+	  statement in the PCI code when a data buffer is also supplied).
+
+Thu Mar 16   9:30 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.3b-3
+ 	- Added exclusion for the 53C1010 and 53C1010_66 chips
+	  to the driver (change to sym53c8xx_comm.h).
+
+Mon March 6  23:15 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2g
+	- Add the file sym53c8xx_comm.h that collects code that should 
+	  be shared by sym53c8xx and ncr53c8xx drivers. For now, it is  
+	  a header file that is only included by the ncr53c8xx driver, 
+	  but things will be cleaned up later. This code addresses 
+	  notably:
+	  * Chip detection and PCI related initialisations
+	  * NVRAM detection and reading
+	  * DMA mapping
+	  * Boot setup command
+	  * And some other ...
+	- Add support for the new dynamic dma mapping kernel interface.
+	  Requires Linux-2.3.47 (tested with pre-2.3.47-6).
+	- Get data transfer direction from the scsi command structure 
+	  (Scsi_Cmnd) when this information is available.
+
+Mon March 6  23:15 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)

+
+Fri Jan 14 14:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision pre-3.3b-1
+	- Merge parallel driver series 3.31 and 3.2e 
+
+Tue Jan 11 14:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.31
+	- Added support for mounting disks on wide-narrow-wide
+	  scsi configurations.  
+	- Built off of version 3.30
+
+Mon Jan 10 13:30 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.30
+	- Added capability to use the integrity checking code
+	  in the kernel (optional).
+	- Disabled support for the 53C1010.
+	- Built off of version 3.2c
+
+Sat Jan 8  22:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2e
+	- Add year 2000 copyright.
+	- Display correctly bus signals when bus is detected wrong.
+	- Remove the dead code that broke driver 3.2d.
+
+Mon Dec 6  22:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2d
+	- Change messages written by the driver at initialisation and 
+	  through the /proc FS (rather cosmetic changes that consist in
+	  printing out the PCI bus number and device/function).
+	- Get rid of the old PCI bios interface, but preserve kernel 2.0 
+	  compatibility from a simple wrapper.
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
+	- Change the driver detection code by the sym53c8xx one, modulo 
+	  some minor changes. The driver can now attach any number of 
+	  controllers (>40) and does no longer hoger stack space at 
+	  initialisation.
+	- Definitely disable overlapped PCI arbitration for all dual 
+	  function chips, since I cannot make sure for what chip revisions 
+	  it is actually safe.
+	- Add support for the SYM53C1510D.
+	- Update the poor Tekram sync factor table.
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
+
+Sat Sep 11  18:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2c
+	- Handle correctly (hopefully) jiffies wrap-around.
+	- Restore the entry used to detect 875 until revision 0xff.
+	  (I removed it inadvertently, it seems :) )
+	- Replace __initfunc() which is deprecated stuff by __init which 
+	  is not yet so. ;-)
+	- Add support of some 'resource handling' for linux-2.3.13.
+	  Basically the BARs have been changed to something more complex 
+	  in the pci_dev structure.
+	- Remove some deprecated code.
+
+Sat May 10  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision pre-3.2b-1
+	- Support for the 53C895A by Pamela Delaney <pam.delaney@lsil.com>
+	  The 53C895A contains all of the features of the 896 but has only 
+	  one channel and has a 32 bit PCI bus. It does 64 bit PCI addressing 
+	  using dual cycle PCI data transfers.
+	- Miscellaneous minor fixes.
+	- Some additions to the README.ncr53c8xx file.
+
+Sun Apr 11  10:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2a
+	- Add 'hostid:#id' boot option. This option allows to change the 
+	  default SCSI id the driver uses for controllers.
+	- Remove nvram layouts and driver set-up structures from the C source,
+	  and use the one defined in sym53c8xx_defs.h file.
+	  (shared by both drivers).
+	- Set for now MAX LUNS to 16 (instead of 8).
+
+Thu Mar 11  23:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2	  (8xx-896 driver bundle)
+	- Only define the host template in ncr53c8xx.h and include the 
+	  sym53c8xx_defs.h file.
+	- Declare static all symbols that do not need to be visible from 
+	  outside the driver code.
+	- Add 'excl' boot command option that allows to pass to the driver 
+	  io address of devices not to attach.
+	- Add info() function called from the host template to print 
+	  driver/host information.
+	- Minor documentation additions.
+
+Sat Mar 6  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1h
+	- Fix some oooold bug that hangs the bus if a device rejects a 
+	  negotiation. Btw, the corresponding stuff also needed some cleanup 
+	  and thus the change is a bit larger than it could have been.
+	- Still some typo that made compilation fail for 64 bit (trivial fix).
+
+Sun Feb  14:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1g
+	- Deal correctly with 64 bit PCI address registers on Linux 2.2.
+	  Pointed out by Leonard Zubkoff.
+	- Allow to tune request_irq() flags from the boot command line using 
+	  ncr53c8xx=irqm:??, as follows:
+	  a) If bit 0x10 is set in irqm, SA_SHIRQ flag is not used.
+	  b) If bit 0x20 is set in irqm, SA_INTERRUPT flag is not used.
+	  By default the driver uses both SA_SHIRQ and SA_INTERRUPT.
+	  Option 'ncr53c8xx=irqm:0x20' may be used when an IRQ is shared by 
+	  a 53C8XX adapter and a network board.
+	- Tiny mispelling fixed (ABORT instead of ABRT). Was fortunately 
+	  harmless.
+	- Negotiate SYNC data transfers with CCS devices.
+
+Sat Jan 16  17:30 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1f
+	- Some PCI fix-ups not needed any more for PPC (from Cort).
+	- Cache line size set to 16 DWORDS for Sparc   (from DSM).
+	- Waiting list look-up didn't work for the first command of the list.
+	- Remove 2 useless lines of code.
+
+Sun Dec 13  18:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1e
+	- Same work-around as for the 53c876 rev <= 0x15 for 53c896 rev 1:
+	  Disable overlapped arbitration. This will not make difference 
+	  since the chip has on-chip RAM.
+
+Thu Nov 26  22:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1d
+	- The SISL RAID change requires now remap_pci_mem() stuff to be 
+	  compiled for __i386__ when normal IOs are used.
+	- Minor spelling fixes in doc files.
+
+Sat Nov 21  18:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1c
+	- Ignore chips that are driven by SISL RAID (DAC 960).
+	  Change sent by Leonard Zubkoff and slightly reworked.
+	- Still a buglet in the tags initial settings that needed to be fixed.
+	  It was not possible to disable TGQ at system startup for devices 
+	  that claim TGQ support. The driver used at least 2 for the queue 
+	  depth but did'nt keep track of user settings for tags depth lower 
+	  than 2.
+
+Wed Nov 11  10:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1b
+	- The driver was unhappy when configured with default_tags > MAX_TAGS
+	  Hopefully doubly-fixed.
+	- Update the Configure.help driver section that speaks of TAGS.
+
+Wed Oct 21 21:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1a
+	- Changes from Eddie Dost for Sparc and Alpha:
+	  ioremap/iounmap support for Sparc.
+	  pcivtophys changed to bus_dvma_to_phys.
+	- Add the 53c876 description to the chip table. This is only useful 
+	  for printing the right name of the controller.
+	- DEL-441 Item 2 work-around for the 53c876 rev <= 5 (0x15).
+	- Add additional checking of INQUIRY data:
+	  Check INQUIRY data received length is at least 7. Byte 7 of 
+	  inquiry data contains device features bits and the driver might 
+	  be confused by garbage. Also check peripheral qualifier.
+	- Cleanup of the SCSI tasks management:
+	  Remove the special case for 32 tags. Now the driver only uses the 
+	  scheme that allows up to 64 tags per LUN.
+	  Merge some code from the 896 driver.
+	  Use a 1,3,5,...MAXTAGS*2+1 tag numbering. Previous driver could  
+	  use any tag number from 1 to 253 and some non conformant devices  
+	  might have problems with large tag numbers.
+	- 'no_sync' changed to 'no_disc' in the README file. This is an old 
+	  and trivial mistake that seems to demonstrate the README file is 
+	  not often read. :)
+
+Sun Oct  4 14:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0i
+	- Cosmetic changes for sparc (but not for the driver) that needs  
+	  __irq_itoa() to be used for printed IRQ value to be understandable.
+	- Some problems with the driver that didn't occur using driver 2.5f 
+	  were due to a SCSI selection problem triggered by a clearly 
+	  documented feature that in fact seems not to work: (53C8XX chips  
+	  are claimed by the manuals to be able to execute SCSI scripts just 
+	  after abitration while the SCSI core is performing SCSI selection).
+	  This optimization is broken and has been removed.
+	- Some broken scsi devices are confused when a negotiation is started 
+	  on a LUN that does not correspond to a real device. According to 
+	  SCSI specs, this is a device firmware bug. This has been worked 
+	  around by only starting negotiation if the LUN has previously be 
+	  used for at least 1 successful SCSI command.
+	- The 'last message sent' printed out on M_REJECT message reception 
+	  was read from the SFBR i/o register after the previous message had 
+	  been sent. 
+	  This was not correct and affects all previous driver versions and 
+	  the original FreeBSD one as well. The SCSI scripts has been fixed 
+	  so that it now provides the right information to the C code.
+
+Sat Jul 18 13:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0g
+	- Preliminary fixes for Big Endian (sent by Eddie C. Dost).
+	  Big Endian architectures should work again with the driver.
+	  Eddie's patch has been partially applied since current 2.1.109 
+	  does not have all the Sparc changes of the vger tree.
+	- Use of BITS_PER_LONG instead of (~0UL == 0xffffffffUL) has fixed
+	  the problem observed when the driver was compiled using EGCS or 
+	  PGCC.
+
+Mon Jul 13 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0f
+	- Some spelling fixes.
+	- linux/config.h misplaced in ncr53c8xx.h
+	- MODULE_PARM stuff added for linux 2.1.
+	- check INQUIRY response data format is exactly 2. 
+	- use BITS_PER_LONG if defined. 
+
+Sun Jun 28 12:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0e
+	- Some cleanup, spelling fixes, version checks, documentations 
+	  changes, etc ...
+
+Sat Jun 20 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0c
+	- Add a boot setup option that allows to set up device queue depths 
+	  at boot-up. This option is very useful since Linux does not 
+	  allow to change scsi device queue depth once the system has been 
+	  booted up.
+
+Sun Jun 15 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0a
+	- Support for up to 64 TAGS per LUN.
+	- Rewrite the TARGET vs LUN capabilities management.
+	  CmdQueue is now handled as a LUN capability as it shall be.
+	  This also fixes a bug triggered when disabling tagged command 
+	  queuing for a device that had this feature enabled.
+	- Remove the ncr_opennings() stuff that was useless under Linux 
+	  and hard to understand to me.
+	- Add "setverbose" procfs driver command. It allows to tune 
+	  verbose level after boot-up. Setting this level to zero, for 
+	  example avoid flooding the syslog file.
+	- Add KERN_XXX to some printk's.
+
+Tue Jun 10 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0
+	- Linux config changes for 2.0.34:
+	  Remove NVRAM detection config option. This option is now enabled 
+	  by default but can be disabled by editing the driver header file.
+	  Add a PROFILE config option.
+	- Update Configure.help
+	- Add calls to new function mdelay() for milli-seconds delay if 
+	  kernel version >= 2.1.105.
+	- Replace all printf(s) by printk(s). After all, the ncr53c8xx is 
+	  a driver for Linux.
+	- Perform auto-sense on COMMAND TERMINATED. Not sure it is useful.
+	- Some other minor changes.
+
+Tue Jun 4 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6n
+	- Code cleanup and simplification:
+	  Remove kernel 1.2.X and 1.3.X support.
+	  Remove the _old_ target capabilities table.
+	  Remove the error recovery code that have'nt been really useful.
+	  Use a single alignment boundary (CACHE_LINE_SIZE) for data 
+	  structures.
+	- Several aggressive SCRIPTS optimizations and changes:
+	  Reselect SCRIPTS code rewritten.
+	  Support for selection/reselection without ATN.
+	  And some others.
+	- Miscallaneous changes in the C code:
+	  Count actual number of CCB queued to the controller (future use).
+	  Lots of other minor changes.
+
+Wed May 13 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6m
+	- Problem of missed SCSI bus reset with the 53C895 fixed by 
+	  Richard Waltham. The 53C895 needs about 650 us for the bus 
+	  mode to settle. Delays used while resetting the controller 
+	  and the bus have been adjusted. Thanks Richard!
+	- Some simplification for 64 bit arch done ccb address testing.
+	- Add a check of the MSG_OUT phase after Selection with ATN.
+	- The new tagged queue stuff seems ok, so some informationnal 
+	  message have been conditionned by verbose >= 3.
+	- Donnot reset if a SBMC interrupt reports the same bus mode.
+	- Print out the whole driver set-up. Some options were missing and 
+	  the print statement was misplaced for modules.
+	- Ignore a SCSI parity interrupt if the chip is not connected to 
+	  the SCSI bus.
+
+Sat May 1 16:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6l
+	- Add CCB done queue support for Alpha and perhaps some other 
+	  architectures.
+	- Add some barriers to enforce memory ordering for x86 and 
+	  Alpha architectures.
+	- Fix something that looks like an old bug in the nego SIR 
+	  interrupt code in case of negotiation failure.
+
+Sat Apr 25 21:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6k
+	- Remove all accesses to the on-chip RAM from the C code:
+	  Use SCRIPTS to load the on-chip RAM.
+	  Use SCRIPTS to repair the start queue on selection timeout.
+	  Use the copy of script in main memory to calculate the chip 
+	  context on phase mismatch.
+	- The above allows now to use the on-chip RAM without requiring 
+	  to get access to the on-chip RAM from the C code. This makes 
+	  on-chip RAM useable for linux-1.2.13 and for Linux-Alpha for 
+	  instance.
+	- Some simplifications and cleanups in the SCRIPTS and C code.
+	- Buglet fixed in parity error recovery SCRIPTS (never tested).
+	- Minor updates in README.ncr53c8xx.
+
+Wed Apr 15 21:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6j
+	- Incorporate changes from linux-2.1.95 ncr53c8xx driver version.
+	- Add SMP support for linux-2.1.95 and above.
+	- Fix a bug when QUEUE FULL is returned and no commands are 
+	  disconnected. This happens with Atlas I / L912 and may happen 
+	  with Atlas II / LXY4.
+	- Nail another one on CHECK condition when requeuing the command 
+	  for auto-sense.
+	- Call scsi_done() for all completed commands after interrupt 
+	  handling.
+	- Increase the done queue to 24 entries.
+
+Sat Apr 4 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6i
+	- CTEST0 is used by the 53C885 for Power Management and 
+	  priority setting between the 2 functions.
+	  Use SDID instead as actual target number. Just have had to 
+	  overwrite it with SSID on reselection.
+	- Split DATA_IN and DATA_OUT scripts into 2 sub-scripts.
+	  64 segments are moved from on-chip RAM scripts.
+	  If more segments, a script in main memory is used for the 
+	  additional segments.
+	- Since the SCRIPTS processor continues SCRIPTS execution after 
+	  having won arbitration, do some stuff prior to testing any SCSI 
+	  phase on reselection. This should have the vertue to process 
+	  scripts in parallel with the SCSI core performing selection.
+	- Increase the done queue to 12 entries.
+
+Sun Mar 29 12:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6h
+	- Some fixes.
+
+Tue Mar 26 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6g
+	- New done queue. 8 entries by default (6 always useable).
+	  Can be increased if needed.
+	- Resources management using doubly linked queues.
+	- New auto-sense and QUEUE FULL handling that does not need to 
+	  stall the NCR queue any more.
+	- New CCB starvation avoiding algorithm.
+	- Prepare CCBs for SCSI commands that cannot be queued, instead of 
+	  inserting these commands into the waiting list. The waiting list 
+	  is now only used while resetting and when memory for CCBs is not 
+	  yet available?
+
+Sun Feb 8 22:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6f
+	- Some fixes in order to really support the 53C895, at least with 
+	  FAST-20 devices.
+	- Heavy changes in the target/lun resources management to allow 
+	  the scripts to jump directly to the CCB on reselection instead 
+	  of walking on the lun CCBs list. Up to 32 tags per lun are now 
+	  supported without script processor and PCI traffic overhead.
+
+Sun Jan 11 22:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6d
+	- new (different ?) implementation of the start queue:
+          Use a simple CALL to a launch script in the CCB.
+	- implement a minimal done queue (1 entry :-) ).
+          this avoid scanning all CCBs on INT FLY (Only scan all CCBs, on 
+          overflow). Hit ratio is better than 99.9 % on my system, so no 
+          need to have a larger done queue.
+	- generalization of the restart of CCB on special condition as 
+          Abort, QUEUE FULL, CHECK CONDITION.
+          This has been called 'silly scheduler'.
+	- make all the profiling code conditionned by a config option.
+	  This spare some PCI traffic and C code when this feature is not 
+          needed.
+	- handle more cleanly the situation where direction is unknown.
+	  The pointers patching is now performed by the SCRIPTS processor.
+	- remove some useless scripts instructions.
+
+	Ported from driver 2.5 series:
+        ------------------------------
+	- Use FAST-5 instead of SLOW for slow scsi devices according to 
+	  new SPI-2 draft.
+	- Make some changes in order to accommodate with 875 rev <= 3 
+	  device errata listing 397. Minor consequences are:
+	  . Leave use of PCI Write and Invalidate under user control.
+	    Now, by default the driver does not enable PCI MWI and option
+	    'specf:y' is required in order to enable this feature.
+	  . Memory Read Line is not enabled for 875 and 875-like chips.
+	  . Programmed burst length set to 64 DWORDS (instead of 128).
+	    (Note: SYMBIOS uses 32 DWORDS for the SDMS BIOS)
+	- Add 'buschk' boot option.
+	  This option enables checking of SCSI BUS data lines after SCSI 
+	  RESET (set by default). (Submitted by Richard Waltham).
+	- Update the README file.
+	- Dispatch CONDITION MET and RESERVATION CONFLICT scsi status 
+	  as OK driver status.
+	- Update the README file and the Symbios NVRAM format definition 
+	  with removable media flags values (available with SDMS 4.09).
+	- Several PCI configuration registers fix-ups for powerpc.
+	  (Patch sent by Cort).
