linux-toradex.git/drivers/video/controlfb.c, branch v2.6.30-rc5 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules powerpc/mm: Rework usage of _PAGE_COHERENT/NO_CACHE/GUARDED 2008-12-21T03:21:16+00:00 Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org 2008-12-18T19:13:51+00:00 64b3d0e8122b422e879b23d42f9e0e8efbbf9744 Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit. We also manipulate _PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places. This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains _PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms that need it. The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set. It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead. This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit combinations that we really want. I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead set it explicitely from the TLB miss. I will ultimately remove it completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a lot easier.

Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in
in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit.  We also manipulate
_PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places.

This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains
_PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms
that need it.  The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set.

It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations
of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead.

This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit
combinations that we really want.

I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead
set it explicitely from the TLB miss.  I will ultimately remove it
completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all
but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a

[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon 2005-11-07T15:53:50+00:00 Antonino A.

The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.
