kernel/params.c: fix lying comment for param_array()

2007-05-08T18:15:08+00:00

This fixes the comment for the function param_array. Which lies that it
only *temporarily* mangle the input string @val.

remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59+00:00

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes.  The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.

Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.

[PATCH] fix kernel oops with badly formatted module option

2007-04-12T22:31:41+00:00

Catch malformed kernel parameter usage of "param = value".  Spaces are not
supported, but don't cause a kernel fault on such usage, just report an
error.

Revert "Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-uevent"

2007-02-23T22:54:57+00:00

This reverts commit c353c3fb0700a3c17ea2b0237710a184232ccd7f.

It turns out that we end up with a loop trying to load the unix
module and calling netfilter to do that.  Will redo the patch
later to not have this loop.

Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-uevent

2007-02-16T23:19:15+00:00

On recent systems, calls to /sbin/modprobe are handled by udev depending
on the kind of device the kernel has discovered. This patch creates an
uevent for the kernels internal request_module(), to let udev take control
over the request, instead of forking the binary directly by the kernel.
The direct execution of /sbin/modprobe can be disabled by setting:
  /sys/module/kmod/mod_request_helper (/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe)
to an empty string, the same way /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is disabled on an
udev system.

Modules: only add drivers/ direcory if needed

This changes the module core to only create the drivers/ directory if we
are going to put something in it.

[PATCH] kernelparams: detect if and which parameter parsing enabled irq's

2007-01-06T07:55:21+00:00

The parsing of some kernel parameters seem to enable irq's at a stage that
irq's are not supposed to be enabled (Particularly the ide kernel parameters).

Having irq's enabled before the irq controller is initialized might lead to a
kernel panic.  This patch only detects this behaviour and warns about wich
parameter caused it.
