Florian Fainelli 55e331cf7e drivers: add support for the TI VLYNQ bus
Add support for the TI VLYNQ high-speed, serial and packetized bus.

This bus allows external devices to be connected to the System-on-Chip and
appear in the main system memory just like any memory mapped peripheral.
It is widely used in TI's networking and multimedia SoC, including the AR7
SoC.

Len Brown 41b16dce39 create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/
Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1775826cee xen: add balloon driver
The balloon driver allows memory to be dynamically added or removed from the domain,
in order to allow host memory to be balanced between multiple domains.

This patch introduces the Xen balloon driver, though it currently only
allows a domain to be shrunk from its initial size (and re-grown back to
that size).  A later patch will add the ability to grow a domain beyond
its initial size.

David Brownell a9c5fff542 gpiolib: add drivers/gpio directory
Add an empty drivers/gpio directory for gpiolib infrastructure and GPIO
expanders.  It will be populated by later patches.

This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code.  Many external chips
add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such as MFD drivers) and platform
code frequently needs to closely integrate GPIO and IRQ support.

This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common for other
drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must be initialized early
in the device_initcall() sequence.

Rusty Russell ec3d41c4db Virtio interface
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.

Shannon Nelson 7589670f37 DCA: Add Direct Cache Access driver
Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.  This
patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA
services with devices that offer DCA services.

In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag
bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU.  However, different
CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods
for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a
hardware specific magic incantation.  This interface is a way for DCA
clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing
to know the specifics.

Avi Kivity 6aa8b732ca [PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net

mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
  (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)

The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture.  The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace.  Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.

Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.

Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process.  kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected.  In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode.  Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm).  Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.

The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests.  All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host.  For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.

SMP hosts and UP guests are supported.  At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.

Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch.  We plan to address this in two ways:

- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables

Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU.  Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization.  Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.

In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.

Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):

- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
  virtual APIC.  We are working on a fix.  A temporary workaround is to
  use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work.  That's also true for qemu, so it's
  probably a problem with the device model.

Brent Casavant 59f148005c [PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2
The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on
Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future.  As such it is now a
misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
would complicate builds for non-SN2.

This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
non-SN2 configs.  Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work
which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality
that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel.  It requires no core

The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is
accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream
extras are really ready to merge.

From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com>

  This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC
  has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the

David Brownell 8ae12a0d85 [PATCH] spi: simple SPI framework
This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
wrappers on top).

  - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM).  If there's got to be a
    mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget.  :)

  - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
    model tree.  (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)

  - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers.  At this writing there
    are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
    and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
    mentions of other drivers in development.

  - No userspace API.  There are several implementations to compare.
    Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.

The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:

  - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
    names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.

  - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
    DMA drivers that want to be fancy.

  - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init.  Even though board init
    logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
    for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.

  - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
    with other folk.  It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
    who've helped nudge this framework into existence.

As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
that this driver framework will need to evolve.

  Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by
  reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.

Evgeniy Polyakov 7672d0b544 [NET]: Add netlink connector.
Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
message bus using netlink as it's backend.  Connector was created to
eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
direction.

Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
one of it's backends netlink based network.  One must register
callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.

From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:

	socket();
	bind();
	send();
	recv();

But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
handling...  Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
easier way:

int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);

struct cb_id
{
	__u32			idx;
	__u32			val;
};

idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
connector.h for in-kernel usage.  void (*callback) (void *) - is a
callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
will be received by connector core.

Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
users.

Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

Sam Ravnborg d5950b4355 [NET]: add a top-level Networking menu to *config
Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving
net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers
menu and up on the top-level where they belong.

To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before
drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been
implemented for all architectures.

Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found
in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25
are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new
networking menu item.

Brent Casavant e5d310b349 [PATCH] ioc4: CONFIG split
The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip drivers are currently all configured by
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4.  This is undesirable as not all IOC4 hardware features
are needed by all systems.

This patch adds two configuration variables, CONFIG_SGI_IOC4 for core IOC4
driver support (see patch 1/3 in this series for further explanation) and
CONFIG_SERIAL_SGI_IOC4 to independently enable serial port support.

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!
