* x86: Force enable HPET for CK804 (nForce 4) chipsetsCarlos Corbacho2007-10-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset. This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4 (LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3, but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them. Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

* serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time optionAndres Salomon2007-10-181-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

* security: Convert LSM into a static interfaceJames Morris2007-10-171-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the overall security architecture. Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API abuse. Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified at boot. The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed. In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

* slow down printk during bootRandy Dunlap2007-10-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk. Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.): "lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100" to the kernel command line. It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is usually a valuable clue.

| * | | PCI: use _CRS for PCI resource allocationGary Hade2007-10-121-0/+2

The resource mis-allocation not only makes the PCI device unuseable but often makes the entire system unuseable due to resulting machine checks. The hotplug capable PCI slots on the affected systems are not located under a standard P2P bridge but are instead located under PCI root bridges or subtractive decode P2P bridges. For example, the IBM x3850 contains 2 hotplug capable PCI-X slots and 4 hotplug capable PCIe slots with the PCI-X slots each located under a PCI root bridge and the PCIe slots each located under a subtractive decode P2P bridge. The current i386/x86_64 PCI resource allocation code does not use _CRS returned resource information. No other resource information source is available for slots that are not below a standard P2P bridge so incorrect ranges are being allocated from e820 hole causing the bad result. This patch causes the kernel to use _CRS returned resource info. It is roughly based on a change provided by Matthew Wilcox for the ia64 kernel in 2005. Due to possible buggy BIOS factor and possible yet to be discovered kernel issues the function is disabled by default and can be enabled with pci=use_crs.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for Multi-Function General Purpose Timers. It detects the available timers during southbridge init, and provides an API for allocating and setting the timers. They're higher resolution than the standard PIT, so the MFGPTs come in handy for quite a few things. Note that we never clobber the timers that the BIOS might have opted to use; we just check for unused timers.
