2017-05-26mmtimer: Remove the SGI SN2 mmtimer driverChristoph Hellwig1-1/+0
This driver supports direct system clock access on the ancient SGI SN2 IA64 systems, and implement the only non-builtin k_clock instance. Remove it as any remaining IA64 altix user will be running just as old distros anyway. Dimitri Sivanich stated: "Since this is SN2 specific, this can be removed." Note that this does not affect the never uv_mmtimer driver for x86-based Altix systems.

2016-06-29powerpc/powernv: Add driver for operator panel on FSP machinesSuraj Jitindar Singh1-0/+1
Implement new character device driver to allow access from user space to the operator panel display present on IBM Power Systems machines with FSPs. This will allow status information to be presented on the display which is visible to a user. The driver implements a character buffer which a user can read/write by accessing the device (/dev/op_panel). This buffer is then displayed on the operator panel display. Any attempt to write past the last character position will have no effect and attempts to write more characters than the size of the display will be truncated. The device may only be accessed by a single process at a time.

2011-06-10arch/tile: add hypervisor-based character driver for SPI flash ROMChris Metcalf1-0/+2
The first version of this patch proposed an arch/tile/drivers/ directory, but the consensus was that this was probably a poor choice for a place to group Tilera-specific drivers, and that in any case grouping by platform was discouraged, and grouping by function was preferred. This version of the patch addresses various issues raised in the community, primarily the absence of sysfs integration. The sysfs integration now handles passing information on sector size, page size, and total partition size to userspace as well. In addition, we now use a single "struct cdev" to manage all the partition minor devices, and dynamically discover the correct number of partitions from the hypervisor rather than using a module_param with a default value. This driver has no particular "peer" drivers it can be grouped with. It is sort of like an MTD driver for SPI ROM, but it doesn't group well with the other MTD devices since it relies on hypervisor virtualization to handle many of the irritating aspects of flash ROM management: sector awareness, background read for sub-sector writes, bit examination to determine whether a sector erase needs to be issued, etc. It is in fact more like an EEPROM driver, but the hypervisor virtualization does require a "flush" command if you wish to commit a sector write prior to writing to a different sector, and this is sufficiently different from generic I2C/SPI EEPROMs that as a result it doesn't group well with them either. The simple character device is already in use by a range of Tilera SPI ROM management tools, as well as by customers. In addition, using the simple character device actually simplifies the userspace tools, since they don't need to manage sector erase, background read, etc. This both simplifies the code (since we can uniformly manage plain files and the SPI ROM) as well as makes the user code portable to non-Linux platforms that don't offer the same MTD ioctls.

2008-12-25[S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console supportHendrik Brueckner1-0/+1
This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV). The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network and allows access even if there is no network connection between two z/VM guest virtual machines. The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus, provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions. Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end. A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.

2008-11-19powerpc: udbg-based backend for hvc_consoleDavid Gibson1-0/+1
This adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the low-level udbg callbacks. This effectively implements a working runtime console in terms of the simple udbg primitives. This is kind of a hack - since udbg isn't something you really want to be using routinely - but it's really useful during bringup. This can be used to quickly implement a userspace-usable console while you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the hardware has. Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will later be replaced by something else.

The two are basically independent chunks of code so lets split them up for readability and sanity. It also makes the API boundaries much clearer. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This driver was declared obsolete over 2 years ago, the alternative console driver for legacy iSeries (hvc_iseries) was made the default over 1 year ago and this driver has been build broken for over 3 months, so remove it.

2008-07-25hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacksChristian Borntraeger1-0/+1
This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2008-07-15powerpc: Add driver for Barrier Synchronization RegisterSonny Rao1-0/+1
Adds a character driver for BSR support on IBM POWER systems including Power5 and Power6. The BSR is an optional processor facility not currently implemented by any other processors. It's primary purpose is fast large SMP synchronization. More details on the BSR are in comments to the code which follows. This patch adds BSR driver to pseries_defconfig.
