Christian Borntraeger 611e097d77 hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.

In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)

The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).

I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.

Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..

I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.

I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.

Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

Dave Airlie c0e09200dc drm: reorganise drm tree to be more future proof.
With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.

This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.

It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.

Stephen Neuendorffer ef141a0bb0 [POWERPC] Xilinx: hwicap driver
This includes code for new fifo-based xps_hwicap in addition to the
older opb_hwicap, which has a significantly different interface.  The
common code between the two drivers is largely shared.

Significant differences exists between this driver and what is
supported in the EDK drivers.  In particular, most of the
architecture-specific code for reconfiguring individual FPGA resources
has been removed.  This functionality is likely better provided in a
user-space support library.  In addition, read and write access is
supported.  In addition, although the xps_hwicap cores support
interrupt-driver mode, this driver only supports polled operation, in
order to make the code simpler, and since the interrupt processing
overhead is likely to slow down the throughput under Linux.

  make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
  make: *** [drivers] Error 2

This was caused by commit af8b128719, which

since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern.  The following
patch puts the colon back:

Wim Van Sebroeck 647e50f383 [WATCHDOG] Fix pcwd_init_module crash
Fix for the problem detected by Ingo Molnar:
enabling CONFIG_PCWATCHDOG=y crashes bzImage bootup.

The reason for this can be found in drivers/makefile
We first do:
obj-y                           += char/
and later we do:
obj-y                           += base/ block/ misc/ mfd/ net/ media/

So if we put a platform or isa or usb bus driver in char/watchdog
(which is called from the Makefile in drivers/char/Makefile)
then we didn't have the different device drivers initialized yet
(they are in drivers/base and drivers/usb and ...)

This fix makes sure that we compile the watchdog drivers after
drivers/base, drivers/misc, drivers/pci and drivers/usb.
We also do the compile after hwmon because in the future the
watchdog temperature support will use the hwmon system.

Miloslav Trmac 522ed7767e Audit: add TTY input auditing
Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions.  This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons.  These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.

Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g.  the console ioctls still
work).

TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.

Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork ().  Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).

Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g.  for sshd restarted within an audited session.  To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g.  after daemon startup) opens a TTY.

See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap"
devices.  (Written by Deepak Saxena).  This patch series includes the old
patches by Deepak Saxena.

The old x86-rng driver has beed split.

The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through
/sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience.  For now it is sufficient to use
cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.

Milton Miller 938473b246 [PATCH] powerpc: console_initcall ordering issues
From: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com>

The add_preferred_console call in rtas_console.c was not causing the
console to be selected.  It turns out that the add_preferred_console was
being called after the hvc_console driver was registered.  It only works
when it is called before the console driver is registered.

Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection
during console_initcall processing.

Ryan S. Arnold 45d607ed92 [PATCH] powerpc: hvc_console updates
These are some updates from both Ryan and Arnd for the hvc_console
driver:

The main point is to enable the inclusion of a console driver
for rtas, which is currrently needed for the cell platform.

Also shuffle around some data-type declarations and moves some
functions out of include/asm-ppc64/hvconsole.h and into a new
drivers/char/hvc_console.h file.

The following is an update of the patch I sent yesterday
(3/9/05) incorporating suggestions from Christoph Hellwig and
Andreas Schwab.  It allows Altix and Altix-like systems to
handle environmental events generated by the system controllers,
and should apply on top of Jack Steiner's patch of 3/1/05 ("New
chipset support for SN platform") and Mark Goodwin's patch of
3/8/05 ("Altix SN topology support for new chipsets and pci
topology").

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 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!
