The current PLL initalization has a number of deficiencies:
- uses fixed multiplier of 8, which overclocks the chip when using a
reference clock that operates at frequencies above 33MHz. According
to a comment in the BSD source, this is true for the external clock
on almost all every board.
- writes to a reserved bit
- doesn't follow the initialization procedure specified in chapter
6.11.1 of the HIFN hardware users guide
- doesn't allow to use the PCI clock
This patch adds a module parameter to specify the reference clock
(pci or external) and its frequency and uses that to calculate the
optimum multiplier to reach the maximal speed. By default it uses
the external clock and assumes a speed of 66MHz, which effectively
halfs the frequency currently used.

Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.
As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.
This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.
Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

This patch forces HIFN driver to invoke crypto request callbacks from
tasklet (softirq context) instead of hardirq context, since network
stack expects it to be called from bottom halves.
It is done by simply scheduling callback invocation via dedicated
tasklet. Workqueue solution was dropped because of tooo slow
rescheduling performance (7 times slower than tasklet, for mode details
one can check this link:
http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/blog/devel/other/2007_11_09.html).
Driver passed all AES and DES tests in tcryt.c module.

The code waits in a busy loop until the hardware finishes the encryption
or decryption process. This wants a cpu_relax() :)
The busy loop finishes either if the encryption is done or if the counter
is zero. If the latter is true than the hardware failed. Since this
should not happen, leave sith a BUG().

It is enough if the IV is copied before and after the while loop.
With DM-Crypt is seems not be required to save the IV after encrytion
because a new one is used in the request (dunno about other users).
It is not save to load the IV within while loop and not save afterwards
because we mill end up with the wrong IV if the request goes consists
of more than one page.

The previous patch fixed spurious read faults from occuring by copying
the data if we happen to have a single block at the end of a page. It
appears that gcc cannot guarantee 16-byte alignment in the kernel with
__attribute__. The following report from Torben Viets shows a buffer
that's only 8-byte aligned:
> eneral protection fault: 0000 [#1]

Since the hardware must have 16-byte alignment, the following patch fixes
this by open coding the alignment adjustment.

The sysfs interface to DMI data takes care to not make the system
serial number and UUID world-readable, presumably due to privacy
concerns. For consistency, we should not let the eeprom driver
export these same strings to the world on Sony Vaio laptops.
Instead, only make them readable by root, as we already do for BIOS
passwords.

Let i2c-dev deal properly with new-style i2c clients. Instead of
considering them always busy, it needs to check wether a driver is
bound to them or not.
This is still not completely correct, as the client could become
busy later, but the same problem already existed before new-style
clients were introduced. We'll want to fix it someday.

This adds some "how does this work" comments to the i2c-dev driver,
plus separators between the three main components:
- The parallel list of i2c_adapters ("i2c_dev_list"), each of which
gets a "struct i2c_dev" and a /dev/i2c-X character special file.
- An i2cdev_driver gets adapter add/remove notifications, which are
used to maintain that list of adapters.
- Special file operations, which let userspace talk either directly to
the adapter (for i2c_msg operations) or through cached addressing info
using an anonymous i2c_client (never registered anywhere).
Plus there's the usual module load/unload record keeping.
After making sense of this code, I think that the anonymous i2c_client
is pretty shady. But since it's never registered, using this code with
a system set up for "new style" I2C drivers is no more complicated than
always using the I2C_SLAVE_FORCE ioctl (instead of I2C_SLAVE).

This reverts commit 7fb7ac241162dc51ec0f7644d4a97b2855213c32.
Heikki Orsila reports that it causes a regression:
"Doing
nc host port < /dev/zero
on a sending machine (not skge) to an skge machine that is receiving:
nc -l -p port >/dev/null
with ~60 MiB/s speed, causes the interface go malfunct. A slow
transfer doesn't cause a problem."
See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9321
for some more information.
There is a workaround (also reported by Heikki):
"After some fiddling, I noticed that not changing the register write
order on patch:
+ skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);
skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_WP), start);
skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_RP), start);
- skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);
fixes the visible effect.. Possibly not the root cause of the
problem, but changing the order back fixes networking here."
but that has yet to be ack'ed or tested more widely, so the whole
problem-causing commit gets reverted until this is resolved properly.

- Call wait_event_interruptible with a _correct_ and sensible condition.
- Removed superfluous test of info->flags & ASYNC_CLOSING, since that is done
by wait_event_interruptible.
- Moved common code for deregistering DMA and IRQ to deinit_port function.
- Use setup_timer when initializing flush_timer.
- Convert bit-field for uses_dma_in and uses_dma_out to regular bytes.
- Removed CVS tags.
- Removed defines and comments for CRIS_BUF_SIZE and TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE
(no longer used).
- Cleaned up code to pass checkpatch.
- Add crisv10.h header file.
- Merge of CRISv10 from Axis internal CVS.

New (updated) version of ethernet driver for cris v10.
- First steps to simplify and make the MII code more similar
between the etrax100 and etraxfs ports.
- Start the transmit queue before enabling tx interrupts
to avoid race with the first frame.
- Flip the comparition statement to stick to physical addresses
to avoid phys_to_virt mapping a potential null pointer.
This was not an error but the change simplifies debugging
of address-space mappings.
- Made myPrevRxDesc local to e100_rx since it was only used there.
Fixed out of memory handling in e100_rx. If dev_alloc_skb() fails
persistently the system is hosed anyway but at least it won't
loop in an interrupt handler.
- Correct some code formatting issues.
- Add defines SET_ETH_ENABLE_LEDS, SET_ETH_DISABLE_LEDS
and SET_ETH_AUTONEG used in new cris v10 ethernet driver.

We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them
dirty all the time.
It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean,
without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure shrink_zone runs
and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a check for
buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no releasepage
callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers has now a
special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all
buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case.
The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

The tle62x0 driver was ignoring all read errors. This patch makes it
pass such errors up the stack, instead of returning bogus data.

"Luming Yu" <luming.yu@gmail.com> says:
There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause the
serial port broken.
It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the
serial port. So the value of the IRQ for the port is never changed since it
got initialized to -1.
If PNP supplies a valid IRQ, use it. Otherwise, leave port.irq == 0, which
means "no IRQ" to the serial core.

The i5000_edac driver's PCI registration structure has the name
""i5000_edac"" (with extra set of double-quotes) which is probably not
intentional. Get rid of __stringify.

Firmware like PNPBIOS or ACPI can report the address space consumed by the
RTC. The actual space consumed may be less than the size (RTC_IO_EXTENT)
assumed by the RTC driver.
The PNP core doesn't request resources yet, but I'd like to make it do so.
If/when it does, the RTC_IO_EXTENT request may fail, which prevents the RTC
driver from loading.
Since we only use the RTC index and data registers at RTC_PORT(0) and
RTC_PORT(1), we can fall back to requesting just enough space for those.
If the PNP core requests resources, this results in typical I/O port usage
like this:
0070-0073 : 00:06 <-- PNP device 00:06 responds to 70-73
0070-0071 : rtc <-- RTC driver uses only 70-71
instead of the current:
0070-0077 : rtc <-- RTC_IO_EXTENT == 8

The misc_register() error path always released an I/O port region,
even if the region was memory-mapped (only mips uses memory-mapped RTC,
as far as I can see).
