With the GDB stub being entered via a special sysrq trigger, we don't want to hit it directly from sci_br_interrupt(). Without this, there is access to the other sysrq triggers when kgdb is enabled. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2007-05-07sh: Add SH7785 Highlander board support (R7785RP).Paul Mundt
This adds preliminary support for the SH7785-based Highlander board. Some of the Highlander support code is reordered so that most of it can be reused directly. This also plugs in missing SH7785 checks in the places that need it, as this is the first board to support the CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2007-04-21[ARM] 4304/1: removes the unnecessary bit number from CKENnn_XXXXEric Miao
This patch removes the unnecessary bit number from CKENnn_XXXX definitions for PXA, so that CKEN0_PWM0 --> CKEN_PWM0 CKEN1_PWM1 --> CKEN_PWM1 ... CKEN24_CAMERA --> CKEN_CAMERA The reasons for the change of these defitions are: 1. they do not scale - they are currently valid for pxa2xx, but definitely not valid for pxa3xx, e.g., pxa3xx has bit 3 for camera instead of bit 24 2. they are unnecessary - the peripheral name within the definition has already announced its usage, we don't need those bit numbers to know which peripheral we are going to enable/disable clock for 3. they are inconvenient - think about this: a driver programmer for pxa has to remember which bit in the CKEN register to turn on/off Another change in the patch is to make the definitions equal to its clock bit index, so that #define CKEN_CAMERA (24) instead of #define CKEN_CAMERA (1 << 24) this change, however, will add a run-time bit shift operation in pxa_set_cken(), but the benefit of this change is that it scales when bit index exceeds 32, e.g., pxa3xx has two registers CKENA and CKENB, totally 64 bit for this, suppose CAMERA clock enabling bit is CKENB:10, one can simply define CKEN_CAMERA to be (32 + 10) and so that pxa_set_cken() need minimum change to adapt to that.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-14[PATCH] 8250 UART backup timerAlex Williamson
The patch below works around a minor bug found in the UART of the remote management card used in many HP ia64 and parisc servers (aka the Diva UARTs). The problem is that the UART does not reassert the THRE interrupt if it has been previously cleared and the IIR THRI bit is re-enabled. This can produce a very annoying failure mode when used as a serial console, allowing a boot/reboot to hang indefinitely until an RX interrupt kicks it into working again (ie. an unattended reboot could stall). To solve this problem, a backup timer is introduced that runs alongside the standard interrupt driven mechanism. This timer wakes up periodically, checks for a hang condition and gets characters moving again. This backup mechanism is only enabled if the UART is detected as having this problem, so systems without these UARTs will have no additional overhead. This version of the patch incorporates previous comments from Pavel and removes races in the bug detection code. The test is now done before the irq linking to prevent races with interrupt handler clearing the THRE interrupt. Short delays and syncs are also added to ensure the device is able to update register state before the result is tested. Aristeu says: this was tested on the following HP machines and solved the problem: rx2600, rx2620, rx1600 and rx1620s. hpa says: I have seen this same bug in soft UART IP from "a major vendor."

2007-02-14[POWERPC] Open Firmware serial port driverArnd Bergmann
This can be used for serial ports that are connected to an OF platform bus but are not autodetected by the lecacy serial support. It will automatically take over devices that come from the legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device. In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the legacy serial driver to check for this.

2007-02-12[PATCH] atmel_serial: Use __raw I/O register accessHaavard Skinnemoen
Access to chip-internal registers should always be native-endian. This is especially important for AVR32 since it's a big-endian architecture and the non-raw readl() and writel() macros are defined to do little-endian accesses.

2007-02-11[PATCH] Perle multimodem card (PCI-RAS) detectionThomas Hoehn
Get the Perle quad-modem PCI card (PCI-RAS4) detected by serial driver. It may also get the PCI-RAS8 running, but can't guarantee as I didn't had one for testing.
