2020-04-05Merge tag 'powerpc-5.7-1' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-0/+9
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix: - A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general. - Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly intertwined with #ifdefs over the years. - Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the workqueue code and other problems. - MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and update the status of others. - Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

2020-02-19powerpc/powernv: Move core and fadump_release_opalcore under new kobjectSourabh Jain1-0/+9
The /sys/firmware/opal/core and /sys/kernel/fadump_release_opalcore sysfs files are used to export and release the OPAL memory on PowerNV platform. let's organize them into a new kobject under /sys/firmware/opal/mpipl/ directory. A symlink is added to maintain the backward compatibility for /sys/firmware/opal/core sysfs file.

2018-06-03acpi, nfit: Remove ecc_unit_sizeDan Williams1-0/+17
The "Clear Error Unit" may be smaller than the ECC unit size on some devices. For example, poison may be tracked at 64-byte alignment even though the ECC unit is larger. Unless / until the ACPI specification provides a non-ambiguous way to communicate this property do not expose this to userspace. Software that had been using this property must already be prepared for the case where the property is not provided on older kernels, so it is safe to remove this attribute.

2014-09-28net_dma: simple removalDan Williams1-0/+8
Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used and there is no plan to fix it. This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards. Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to subsequent patches.

2012-05-08netfilter: remove ip_queue supportPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+9
This patch removes ip_queue support which was marked as obsolete years ago. The nfnetlink_queue modules provides more advanced user-space packet queueing mechanism. This patch also removes capability code included in SELinux that refers to ip_queue. Otherwise, we break compilation. Several warning has been sent regarding this to the mailing list in the past month without anyone rising the hand to stop this with some strong argument.

2010-10-11ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stackStefan Richter4-16/+45
The drivers - ohci1394 (controller driver) - ieee1394 (core) - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI) - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers) are replaced by - firewire-ohci (controller driver) - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI) - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers) which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base. The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394. The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead. The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal. There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to the older one: - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394. I am looking into the M52xx issue. - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its experimental cousin eth1394. - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet. This issue is still under investigation. - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them, only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful. Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core. All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now, as announced earlier this year. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2007-07-10ieee1394: remove old isochronous ABIStefan Richter1-0/+16
Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}" from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006. This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception and transmission. Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no longer useful for isochronous applications. raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.
