[akpm]

The patch titled
     x86: provide rtc_cmos platform device
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86-provide-rtc_cmos-platform-device.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: x86: provide rtc_cmos platform device
From: Stas Sergeev <stsp@aknet.ru>

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me.  It
turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
the parport_pc bugs.  I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
past, and now it have regressed.

The attached patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for
the RTC when PNP is disabled.  This may also help running the PNP-enabled
kernel on an older PCs.

So is everyone happy with this now?

It got lost from the changelog but IIRC this fixes a small sort-of regression
which was added in 2.6.25(?) because Stas switched drivers.  I assume
that the incompatibility was unintentional.

So it might be 2.6.26 material, and possibly even 2.6.25.x?

The switch was behind my will (kconfig

I don't really have an opinion on the RTC patch itself, but I would
like to understand why you're using "pnpacpi=off".

As far as I'm concerned, "pnpacpi=off" should only be used to work
around defects, so I'd like to fix the defect you're seeing with
parport_pc.  Is there a bug report for it?

We recently fixed some PNPACPI problems that caused parport_pc
problems, i.e.,
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5832
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9487

Andrew added these patches to his -mm tree, but I don't think he's
released a patchset that contains them yet.  I'll attach the patch
in case you want to try it.  Let me know what happens.

Bjorn



PNPACPI: use _CRS IRQ descriptor length for _SRS

When configuring the resources of an ACPI device, we first
evaluate _CRS to get a template of resource descriptors, then
fill in the specific resource values we want, and finally
evaluate _SRS to actually configure the device.

Some resources have optional fields, so the size of encoded
descriptors varies depending on the specific values.  For
example, IRQ descriptors can be either two or three bytes long.
The third byte contains triggering information and can be
omitted if the IRQ is edge-triggered and active high.

The BIOS often assumes that IRQ descriptors in the _SRS
buffer use the same format as those in the _CRS buffer, so
this patch enforces that constraint.

The "Start Dependent Function" descriptor also has an optional
byte, but we don't currently encode those descriptors, so I
didn't do anything for those.

I have tested this patch on a Toshiba Portege 4000.  Without
the patch, parport_pc claims the parallel port only if I use
"pnpacpi=off".  This patch makes it work with PNPACPI.

This is an extension of a patch by Tom Jaeger:

Certainly, and you've seen it many
times. :)
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7491
Its that the module parameters are overriden
by PNP and are ignored, so you can't do
"dma=none" etc.
Your patch is not for that, AFAICS.
Or let me know if it is.

Oh, yeah, that one :-)  No, my patch does nothing for that.

I can't remember why it's so hard to fix that bug.  Maybe now that
we fixed the *other* reason for using "pnpacpi=off", I can take
another look at it and make some progress.  It doesn't *sound* like
it should be hard to fix.

added your patch to -tip for more testing, to the tip/out-of-tree topic 
branch. It already passed a fair amount of testing here.

No idea - I've been away for the last week, and thanks to the extensive
discussions on linux-arch and the private threads, I've now got literally
hundreds of emails to work through.

Plus I'm rather tired today, thanks to power cuts setting off peoples
burgular alarms during last night.  And I'm probably not around much
tomorrow nor Wednesday...

You get the picture - probably about a week or so before I can even get
around to thinking about testing this (or indeed much else.)

The <asm/mc146818rtc.h> isn't needed, since it's automatically
included via <linux/mc146818rtc.h> ... see right at the top.

And for good fun, notice how the asm file includes the linux
version ... seems like a cleanup would be nice someday.  :)

That's kind of ugly, but not wrong.

My only question is whether that resolves the problem Russell was 
reporting.  I think his situation needed to register *both* types
of bus glue (but I never saw his patch).  If we're going to fix this,
best merge just one patch...
