[PATCH] ia64: note requirement for 8250_pnp, now that 8250_acpi is gone

2006-10-03T15:03:42Z

We removed 8250_acpi in 2.6.17. If we don't have PNPACPI turned on, we won't find any ACPI serial devices, so mention this requirement in the troubleshooting part of the documentation. CONFIG_PNPACPI is already turned on in all the relevant defconfigs. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Acked-by: "Luck, Tony" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing

2006-05-08T23:32:05Z

This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme: - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because they don't appear in the EFI memory map. This keeps X from working on the Intel Tiger box. - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC access. This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620 boxes in the default configuration. There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping. Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory map doesn't mention the region.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

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!
