Hi all,
The ARM patches for 2.1.132 are now on the FTP site in their usual location.
With Linus' release of 2.1.132, a lot of ARM patches went in. Unfortunately,
it hasn't reduced my patch size significantly - seems like a lot has changed
since I submitted that patch.
Patch includes:
- hardware accelerated fbcon console for Netwinder (now usable)
- San's alignment trap handler (with some mods)
NOTE! Could people send me the results of
'cat /proc/uptime /proc/sys/debug/alignment'
please? On my Netwinder, with the kernel compiled with my ELF GCC
2.7.2.2, I'm getting a fault rate of 1 per ms, which is not good.
I'd like to hear about newer GCCs/EGCS with various optimisation
levels.
- EBSA285 reboot options.
- Some of Phils patches merged.
- Various minor header file problems cleared.
- SA110 'wait for interrupt' instruction (aka x86's hlt) now used.
- Netwinder DMA operational (waveartist)
- IDE fix for DMA drives which have not had their interfaces configured
for DMA.
- Separate CONFIG options for binutils and separate text init sections
(Corel's binutils on my 2.0r10 image must have text init sections
turned *off*).
- sys_cacheflush added.
- PCI ioremap stuff.
The usual:
- newer tulip.c driver (for 21143)
- ipv4 checksum problem fixes.
- NFS fixes.
- minor sound driver cleanup.
- as yet unmerged IDE stuff from the m68k guys
- mouse patches (SMP fixes + cleanup)
- partition stuff (cleanup)
I'm sure there's other stuff...
PS, there are a few work-arounds for GCC 2.8.1 (?) which is shipped with the
Netwinder 2.0r10 image which are not obvious to enable. See:
- linux/include/asm-arm/byteorder.h
- linux/include/asm-arm/spinlock.h
If you're using GCC 2.8.1, please disable the #if in byteorder.h if you
experiance problems.
