* backlight: convert from legacy pm ops to dev_pm_opsShuah Khan2013-07-031-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert drivers/video/backlight/class to use dev_pm_ops for power management and remove Legacy PM ops hooks. With this change, backlight class registers suspend/resume callbacks via class->pm (dev_pm_ops) instead of Legacy class->suspend/resume. When __device_suspend() runs call-backs, it will find class->pm ops for the backlight class.

* drivers: avoid format string in dev_set_nameKees Cook2013-07-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Calling dev_set_name with a single paramter causes it to be handled as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents, including wrappers like device_create*() and bdi_register().

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* | [PATCH] backlight: do not power off backlight when unregisteringHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2006-12-081-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ACPI drivers like ibm-acpi are moving to the backlight sysfs infrastructure. During ibm-acpi testing, I have noticed that backlight_device_unregister() sets the display brightness and power to zero. This causes the display to be dimmed on ibm-acpi module removal. It will affect all other ACPI drivers that are being converted to use the backlight class, as well. It also affects a number of framebuffer devices that are used on desktops and laptops which might also not want such behaviour. Since working around this behaviour requires undesireable hacks, Richard Purdie decided that we would be better off reverting the changes in the sysfs class, and adding the code to dim and power off the backlight device to the drivers that want it. This patch is my attempt to do so. Patch against latest linux-2.6.git. Changes untested, as I lack the required hardware. Still, they are trivial enough that, apart from typos, there is little chance of getting them wrong.

* [PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class ImprovementsRichard Purdie2006-03-311-28/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly. Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent. The following changes are included: The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the backlight_properties structure. The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the backlight_properties structure. Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the backlight_properties structure. The backlight driver has only two functions to implement. One function is called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness value. A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any driver/device specific factors). Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal. The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

* [PATCH] remove bogus asm/bug.h includes.Al Viro2006-02-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | A bunch of asm/bug.h includes are both not needed (since it will get pulled anyway) and bogus (since they are done too early). Removed. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reasonOlaf Hering2005-11-091-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3 #defines are unused in most of the touched files. A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is unfortunatly in linux/version.h. There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used. quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'` search pattern: /UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
