[PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support

2006-09-27T15:26:19+00:00

Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.

The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):

 eisa:sTCM5093

and the in-module alias like:

 eisa:sTCM5093*

The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.

There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.

The rationale for this patch is:

 a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
    support, to unify driver loading

 b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
    (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
    how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)

[S390] zcrypt adjunct processor bus.

2006-09-20T13:58:25+00:00

Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can
be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That
makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer
to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point
in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when
a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some
fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or
continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ
(see poll_thread parameter).

The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes,
ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains
to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices
to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between
two ap bus scans to find new devices.

The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload
the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are:
3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

Use '#ifdef' consistently on __KERNEL__.  This was reported as bug #5340
(isn't easier to send a fix than report the bug?!)

[PATCH] pcmcia: fix cross-platform issues with pcmcia module aliases

2005-09-26T11:13:58+00:00

- Added a missing TO_NATIVE call to scripts/mod/file2alias.c:do_pcmcia_entry()
- Add an alignment attribute to struct pcmcia_device_no to solve an alignment
  issue seen when cross-compiling on x86 for m68k.

[PATCH] mod_devicetable.h fixes

2005-08-29T17:42:39+00:00

 * ieee1394_device_id has kernel_ulong_t field after an odd number of
   __u32 ones.  Since mod_devicetable.h is included both from kernel and
   from host build helper, we may be in trouble if we are building on
   32bit host for 64bit target - userland sees unsigned long long,
   kernel sees unsigned long and while their sizes match, alignments
   might not.  Fixed by forcing alignment.  Fortunately, almost nobody
   else needs that - the rest of such fields is naturally aligned as it
   is.

 * of_device_id has void * in it.  Host userland helpers need
   kernel_ulong_t instead, since their void * might have nothing to do
   with the kernel one.  Fixed in the same way it's done for similar
   problems in pcmcia_device_id (ifdef __KERNEL__).

 * pcmcia_device_id has the same problem as ieee1394_device_id.  Fixed
   the same way.

[PATCH] openfirmware: generate device table for userspace

2005-07-06T19:55:20+00:00

This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id,
similar to pci_device_id.  This allows a device table to be generated,
which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module
loading.

In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied.  Those patches are
available at:

[PATCH] pcmcia: mod_devicetable.h fix for different sizes in kernel- and userspace

2005-06-28T01:03:21+00:00

The size of pointers may differ between (userspace) modpost and (kernelspace)
modules -- so fix mod_devicetable.h to reflect this possibility.
