edac: add DDR3 memory type for MPC85xx EDAC

2009-07-01T01:55:59+00:00

Since some new MPC85xx SOCs support DDR3 memory now, so add DDR3 memory
type for MPC85xx EDAC.

edac: core fix added newline to sysfs dimm labels

2008-07-25T17:53:49+00:00

The channel DIMM label does not seem to be used much in the edac code.
However, where it is used (in the core code), it is assumed to not have a
newline embedded.  This leaves the sysfs file newline free which looks
funny when cat'ing it.  Here we just add the trailing newline to the sysfs
chX_dimm_label output...

[Doug Thompson note: the DIMM label is one of the primary uses of EDAC.
User space daemon scripts, edac-utils@sourceforge, populate the DIMM label
fields, via /sys/devices/system/edac attributes, with the silk screen
labels of the motherboard in use.  dmidecode access BIOS tables, but BIOS
tables are well known to be incorrect and useless in these respects.
edac-utils will strip off any newlines before its use of the output, when
displaying DIMM slot silk screen labels.

edac: core fix static to dynamic kset

2008-07-25T17:53:49+00:00

Static kobjects and ksets are not supported in Linux kernel.  Convert the
mc_kset from static to dynamic.  This patch depends on my previous patch
to remove the module parameter attributes from mc...

edac: core fix redundant sysfs controls to parameters

2008-07-25T17:53:49+00:00

/sys/devices/system/edac/mc has a few files which are duplicated in
/sys/module/edac_core/parameters.  Now that all the functionality is
duplicated between these two locations, we remove the former kobject
attributes and update the documentation.

edac: core fix workq timer

2008-07-25T17:53:49+00:00

When updating the edac_mc_poll_msec module parameter from the sysfs
/sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_poll_msec file, we don't update
the workq timers.  So that, if we move from a big poll time to a small
one, the small one won't take effect until the big one has timed out.

Here we provide a new module parameter set method to call out to the
update routine.  This brings the /sys/module/edac_core/parameters
functionality up to that provided by the /sys/drivers/system/edac/mc sysfs
module parameter files so that we can remove them or at least link to the
/sys/module files...

drivers-edac: add Cell XDR memory types

2008-02-07T16:42:23+00:00

Add the definitions for the Rambus XDR memory type used by the Cell processor.
It's a pre-requisite for the followup Cell EDAC patch.

Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40+00:00

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
kobject_put().

Kobject: change drivers/edac to use kobject_init_and_add

2008-01-25T04:40:28+00:00

Stop using kobject_register, as this way we can control the sending of
the uevent properly, after everything is properly initialized.

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

2008-01-25T04:40:10+00:00

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young

Drivers: clean up direct setting of the name of a kset

2007-10-12T21:51:02+00:00

A kset should not have its name set directly, so dynamically set the
name at runtime.

This is needed to remove the static array in the kobject structure which
will be changed in a future patch.
